KOLONKAR
2019
Short film
Animation/CGI

In the reimagining of Dhaka, a city suspended beyond familiar time and order, the film explores the rituals of a religiously dominant state. Opening with the scene of 2017 removal of the Lady Justice statue from Bangladesh’s Supreme Court—a decisive act of iconoclasm that signals the unraveling of state order. Through CGI-rendered figures and speculative landscapes, a matriarchal world emerges, where justice crumbles, and in its place, the machinery of worship begins again..this time under a different order. Reclaiming through disassembling the guise of power structures. Ending up in a ceremonial riot
