After ‘Goen Da’ and ‘Rajlokhi O Srikanto’, actor
Rahul Banerjee has teamed up with filmmaker Pradipta Bhattacharyya for ‘Stuck’ — a short film based on artificial intelligence. The 10-minute-long film is now available on a video streaming website.
Though directed by Pradipta, this film is originally a part of an academic project by two researchers, Rik Sundar and Raka Chowdhury.
Elaborating on the project, Pradinta said, “Raka works on AI and Rik is pursuing his research on the ghost in Bengali literature. They were supposed to present a paper at York University. They wanted to showcase a film along with their paper and came to me with the idea. I liked it and finally made it.” The film was first screened at York University in August last year.
The film has no dialogue and features only Rahul. “I can do anything for Pradipta. When he came with the idea I loved it. It talks about a man engulfed in technology. There is an element of anxiety in his mind,” the actor said.
