Experiencing Interruptions?

SAFAR (JOURNEY)

Safar traces a family's road trip where past memories intertwine with present silences. Through fleeting gestures, quiet landscapes, and unspoken moments, the film gently explores love, memory, and the silent spaces between people. A tender reflection on what we carry, what we leave behind, and the journeys that shape us.

Director Biography - HEMANT KUMAR

Growing up in Haridwar, surrounded by the Ganges and a rich spiritual atmosphere, storytelling became second nature to me.
My family, filled with artists and resilient individuals, nurtured my creativity and deep respect for tradition.Though I began my
journey in engineering at IIT Indore, my passion for storytelling led me to NID, where I honed my skills in visual storytelling and explored human behaviour and cultural narratives. My short film Safar delves into family dynamics and human emotions, reflecting my interest in blending visual beauty with folk music.Through my work, I strive to preserve Cultural Heritage while bridging traditional and contemporary storytelling.
