The 5th edition of the festival boasts two dozen curated shorts, documentaries and feature films that focus on issues affecting the South Asian sub-continent. DFW SAFF showcases features, short films and documentaries promoting the perspectives and voices of the South Asian community.
The three selected Eros Now short movies highlight different social concerns.
A Monsoon Date: Directed by Tanuja Chandra and written by Gazal Dhaliwal, the Konkona Sen Sharma-starrer short film is a moving story of a woman who is set to reveal her most personal secret to her lover.
That Man In The Picture: This film revolves around a man who witnesses a harassment-turned murder but chooses not to interfere. Raghubir Yadav plays a key role in the short movie directed by Gaurav Sharma.
Maunn highlights parents struggle to confront the molester of their ten-year-old daughter who happens to be their close neighbour and how they are helpless under societal pressure.
