Debjoy Mallick’s short film ‘
Mirage
’ tries to capture a fraction of a core emotion with four interlinked stories. The short has an ensemble cast including
Aparajita Adhya,
Bharat Kaul, Suvajit Kar, Payel Dutta, Mishmee Das,
Pratyusha Paul
,
Arunava Dutta, Laddu and
Tapas Chakraborty
.
The first story is about a girl, who has everything she wants and nothing that she needs. Much like us all, a little girl lost in the abyss of over-achievement and over-compensation. The second story revolves around a teacher and her relationship with her mask. Sometimes, we need magic realism to bring us to face our own reality. The third one is designed by fate, like, literally. Meanwhile, the fourth story is a tale of the vanity in rhetoric. We see flip sides of dreams, any kind of dreams. Each of the four stories is woven by surrealism and the content is introspective.
The short has been presented by SHIRC in Association with Debjoy Films while the creative director is Tapas Chakraborty. Moloy Laha is the editor and DOP is Roze Alam.
“The idea of the film was first conceived 4 years ago. Suddenly like a gush of toxic air, some societal crises hit us hard. Much like as if, the wheel of time, was coming to a circle and it was not coming to pass. 4 years later, it all stands in the same stagnation. Mirage is a collage of four stories. In the end, after 13minutes, you stand in front of a mirror, for a split second, and carry on,” said Debjoy Mallick while giving a brief idea about his film.
