India has the largest screen industry in the world, by output, producing double the number of films made in Hollywood each year. Nourished of course by a flourishing short film scene. In this collection Show Me Shorts has collaborated with the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala to curate six shorts from top Indian filmmakers. The stories span different regions, languages and flavours, but are united in their exploration of the connections between friends, family and the natural world around us.
