Pheromones

We love and we get hurt
and we love and we get hurt
and we love and we get hurt.

I forget.

The pain ends
but it changes me a little bit every time.

And I do it all over again.

Stuck
in a loop.

Pheromones is an experimental film and director's attempt to understand heartbreak.

Director Biography - Mansi Maheshwari

I grew up in a small town near New Delhi, India. For as long as I can remember, people have been asking me, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” and I always had an answer for them. Suddenly they stopped asking and I realised, I had grown up, at least according to them. When they stopped asking , I actually started thinking. What did I want to be? A detective, a pop star, a teacher, an archaeologist or maybe even a wife (joking). I couldn’t choose. I wanted to do it all. So I decided to be a filmmaker. It gave me the superpower of being everything one at a time.
I studied knitwear design at National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi. Then covid hugged all of us and in its warm embrace I made 13 animated films ranging from 5seconds to 20 minutes. I started my MA in Directing Animation at National Film and Television School in 2022. And I'll update this as more things happen.
