Surat-based writer-director Abhishek Galshar’s idea culminated in a 4 minute, 20 second Hindi film on the situation of a poor family during the Covid-induced nationwide lockdown.
The movie, titled ‘The Lockdown’, has been shortlisted for a showcase at the Festival De Cannes — scheduled for July 6-17.
The film has already bagged awards of ‘Best Short Film’ in the Berlin Flash Film Awards and the Gold Movie Awards.
