Hamlet
Director: Aneil Karia
Year: 2025
A modern-day take on Shakespeare’s tragedy, exploring race, mental health and inequality.
The Long Goodbye
Director: Aneil Karia
Year: 2021
A sobering and powerful imagining of a dystopian near-future. <br /> "In collaboration with actor-musician-activist Riz Ahmed, this work transcends the genre confines of a music video to create an incisive conceptual accompaniment to the title track from Ahmed’s personal album of the same name. Set in a speculative future of a risen right-wing and rampant post-Brexit racism, Riz unpacks his feelings towards his country in a powerful, gut-punch monologue of rap and spoken word." (London Short Film Festival)
Surge
Director: Aneil Karia
Year: 2020
Quiet and demure Joseph (Ben Whishaw) leads a modest life in London, shuttling between his solo apartment and the airport where he forms part of the security team. His birthday goes unnoticed by his colleagues and only mildly celebrated by his irritable parents. Something seems to be simmering in Joseph just under the surface. It only takes a few strange incidents to unlock his impulse to go on a reckless, frantic, and unbelievable journey through the streets of the city as he determines that boundaries and niceties will no longer govern his life.<br /> Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2020 - World Cinema Dramatic Competition - World premiere<br /> Official Selection Berlin International Film Festival 2020 - Panorama - International premiere
