Short Film: 'The Other Side' Examines Poverty in Mumbai—“People like you don’t belong here”
In this short film, writer/director Nikita Hattangady focuses on Jai, a starving artist rooted in the latter category. Though unhoused, he works hard.
The Parking Spot
From the philosophy lectern to the director’s chair, Louis Godbout draws on fifteen years of profound contemplation to depict an ordinary "battle": fighting over a parking space. It all begins with one parking spot, a couple and a stranger. Calling the police fails to end the conflict, which instead escalates into a silent psychological warfare. A single comment from the stranger acts like a domino effect, knocking down every seemingly solid pillar of the couple’s relationship. Undercurrents run rampant throughout the night.The film employs tranquil empty shots to create an oppressive, suffocating atmosphere, and its understated dialogue leaves vast room for the audience to interpret. When intimate bonds meet the game of human nature, who is the real stranger in the end?
