Watching my niece @meharmalhotrafilm @shadowsofthemoonlessnightsfilm at Tasveer was such a proud, emotional moment. ❤️ Seeing the audience connect with her film and respond so warmly made it even more special. A heartfelt thank you to Deepali Jamwal @dee_jammy for accommodating my request to bring Mehar, the film’s director, into the room through a video call when she couldn’t attend in person. From its @festivaldecannes Cannes 2026 official La Cinef selection to this beautiful Seattle screening @tasveerorg , there is so much to celebrate! Congratulations to Mehar and the entire team whose hard work brought this story to life. ✨🎬 #ShadowsOfTheMoonlessNight #Tasveer #livingrootsartscollective #WomenInFilm #independentcinema

Shaped by a complex family legacy and fueled by relentless discipline, his identity was built around movement, sacrifice, and the brutal clarity of the ring. On the eve of his biggest career breakthrough, representing Mauritius on the international stage, a single high-stakes miscalculation changes everything. In an instant, the momentum stops and the dream disappears. The fight is over — but the real conflict has only just begun. #SIFF2026 #SerbestFilmFestival #Charcoal #MauritianCinema #DocumentaryFilm #DocumentaryShort #CombatSports

Those who know me as an artist know the one text that’s been the bane of my existence for over 7 years now is To be or Not to be. When I heard @diggantsurti was weaving a film around it, I just had to be a part of it in whatever capacity. This marked a lot of firsts for me - shooting on 16mm @16mmfilmfestival , at @harkat.studios , in a Marathi language film, with the most amount of prosthetics I’ve ever had on my face (which wasn’t a lot but I was very much on the fence about it). But more importantly working with my people outside of ftii for the first time! With experiences like this you really feel the true power of community and I want to be grateful for what a privilege that is in a city like Bombay, everyday. Sometimes I forget. Lots of love to the whole team, can’t wait to see where this film goes 🫶🤍 📸 @mansi_janii @diggantsurti ✨✨

During my school days, I had a study table at home, above that place, I used to write quotes. I had written one day, "Keep your eyes wide open while dreaming". The meaning was simple, I wanted to dream it until there was no difference between that and reality. The difference comes when we think about how long we can keep our eyes open to dream. Then I think that life is all about keeping the eyes open, wide enough, long enough and blinking once in a while to greet the other soul like cats do. Glad we all met and blinked at the same time. The diploma film at FTII, felt like a little war to me. I had not assisted in any diploma projects before and I was scared a bit with the feeling that it might become just another exercise and not a film. The day I met Mehar regarding diploma, I was sure that a person who is confident and clear about what she wants will lead a team for the film. The shoot of the film, changed me. I started to have more trust in people and be relaxed about what could happen. Because anything can happen anytime. Rashmi's Intelligence, Sai's Discipline, Bhopi's Witty Humour made the process of everything simple and fun. I cannot forget the fun we had in the pre production and shoot. If I ever could, I would go back in time just to crack more jokes while planning and have more fun on the shoot. Going to Cannes was truly surreal. I felt overwhelmed and so heartful to see that everybody present at the festival was rejoicing in the memories of the shooting the film and then celebrating cinema. I had packed a very light jacket because somebody said it was summer there. I can't forget the shivers and then the soft sun which gloomed till 9pm. Getting ready everyday to travel to the venue together and seeing Vin Diesel cry. It was all a shock and we were in disbelief for a few days until it suddenly hit like a pint of Guinness. But it was not possible without what FTII provided us. A space to be ourselves and to experiment and to connect people whom we might not have met. All the people who worked on this film were really good at heart and that really was a blessing. I want to go back to Cannes so much and to keep the eyes open. ❤ #cannesfilmfestival
