‘Violence is created in the head’

Short-film director Sandeep A Varma brings his English short about Islamophobia to the 14th Habitat Film Festival in Delhi.

The film presents the dilemma of people who hold on to their roots and yet try to fit in.

The trope of two female protagonists crossing paths, one steeped in tradition and the other in modernity, isn’t new. But first-time writer-producer Delhi-based Riya Mukherjee, a long-time radio professional, and Mumbai-based award-winning short film director Sandeep A Varma, in his first international project, team up to bring old wine in a new bottle.
