, Pune girl

Payal Kapadia

too deserves some limelight. Her

short film

Afternoon Clouds is the only Indian entry at this reputed festival amongst the 2600 films submitted. Her film was selected in the

Cinéfondation category

, a space created to inspire and suppor t the next generation of filmmakers. The film is set in the house of a 60-year-old woman Kaki who lives with her Nepali maid. Over the course of the film, Malti encounters upon an unexpected face, that of a sailor boy. This 13-minute short film features Usha Naik and Trimala Adhikari in the lead roles. What sets the film apart is the is that it has not been shot digitally but it is recorded on film. It was filmed as a dialogue exercise and it has been shot within four walls.
