Gujarati short film Rammat Gammat wins hearts at Stony Brook Film Festival

The moving story of friendship between two young boys captured in a

Gujarati short film

titled

Rammat Gammat

has recently won hearts at

Stony Brook Film Festival

in United States of America. As says Ajitpal Singh, writer-director of the film, “It’s amazing to see so many people coming to see the film. It really feels wonderful."
The film earlier won special mention in Children and Youth Competition when it was screened at the world premiere of the prestigious International short film festival Oberhausen. The film was also screened at the Palm Springs International Short film festival where it was selected among 10 short films from across the world for ‘Bridging the Borders Award.
“Rammat Gammat is a simple tale of friendship which is about two boys in rural Gujarat – a rich boy from upper caste and a poor boy from the lower caste – whose friendship is stretched to the breaking point when one of them is gifted a pair of golden yellow football studs. Even though the story unfolds in today’s time in a different context, it is inspired from my own experiences and memories of my growing up years in Ahmedabad,” says Singh.
