With increase in talented minds there is a constant increase in creativity too, and short movies are one such medium through which one can make a bold statement without boring the masses.
Short movies have this unique feature that even if they are smaller in length than our typical movies, the tight and crisp wrapping they are presented in, you won't even believe that you have only spent 40 minutes. Because you already know the character, their life and have cried when they got their happy ending.
And so, here are 10 beautiful and inspirational short films, that you should definitely check out.
Rizwan: Keeper of the Gates of Heaven- Dhruv Sachdeva
This is the video that gave me the whole idea of writing this post. This ad by Paperboat is written by Dhruv Sachdeva, and trust me this is that one ad that will forget about skip ad button as it slowly encaptures you in the fragrant journey, called Innocence.
Interior Cafe Night- Adhiraj Bose
Starring Naseeruddin Shah and Shernaz Patel, this short movie is a perfect reminder of the old saying, "It's never too late", not even late to find love or should I say your long lost love.
3 Shades- Vivek Joshi
Showing the journey of a little boy between the two days 26 January and 27 January, this video is an eye opener. Showing struggles we are unknown to with this beauty, the video will inspire you to never stop even on the harshest of days.
We are always complaining about our life, but the fact is there's always someone who is suffering from a bigger problem.
With this video I just wanna request you a simple thing, next time if you see someone working and trying to earn his living even within the smallest of medium, please buy something. If just 5 or 10 rupees can make someone happy, lets just make them happy. We spend hundreds of rupees on stupid stuff anyways.
Behind the walls- Muhammad Fatahillah
That Day After Every Day- Anurag Kashyap
Joycee- Xavier Joseph
Showing the struggle of a girl named Joycee, this video actually depicts the life of all the people from middle class families.
It's a heart warming inspirational video which will force you to look at life with a smile.
She comes to terms with her sad life and unsatisfied job and with a contest to win a camera for her grandfather she comes close to the passion for life and passion for photography.
Identity- K.J. Adams
We are all wearing masks to be something we are not. Remove it and find yourself.
The movie speaks on a very deep topic of how we all have to pretend to be something we are not. And how our society doesn't accept people who are different or not "not-normal" according to their criterias.
Plato's Allegory of the Cave plays a big role in this film. The concept is incorporated throughout this entire film. The people who are wearing the masks represent the prisoners and the ignorance they have about the world. The girl who wears the white mask is the one prisoner who escapes the world of lies.
The Joy Of Giving - Kalki Koechlin
Written by Kalki Koechlin and directed by Shlok Sharma, this short film deals with the skeptical side of human nature and how one’s judgment of another person can often be wrong.
It's a perfect example to show you how even the smallest kind gestures can come back to you in the most adorable way.
This short story is the sweetest one out of all the other short movies on this list.
