Aryan Malviya | India | 2025 | 25 mins. | Marwari | Filmmaker attending
A boy wanders through his village carrying a colourless television – its blank screen mirroring the muted world around him. His search is not only for colour but for something deeper, something lost. Echoes of ancestral spirits, whispers of a dakan, and fragments of ritual blur the boundary between the living and the dead, the seen and the unseen.
