Drishyam – Short Film Competition

Drishyam invites storytellers to capture the soul of the Constitution through the language of cinema. This short film competition celebrates the power of visual storytelling to question, reflect, and inspire. Rooted in the spirit of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity, Drishyam seeks to transform thought into image, where every frame becomes a voice for truth, empathy, and change.

The participants are to make their films based on any one of the themes:

1. A Joke can Heal, a Joke can Sting,
   Freedom of Speech: Who is holding the String?

2. Hands that built the World, sleep hungry at Night,
   Their Sweat turns into Gold, but never their Right.

3. We called it Love, but it was a Cage,
   Soft Words hiding Silent Rage.

4. Bars held him Tight, but Justice was Tighter.
   A Breath Lost Quietly, No Trial, No Fighter.
