Delhi Boom!
Synopsis
Set in one day on the streets of India's capital, what follows is a hard-hitting perspective of a world that comes crashing down on both brothers. Every character associated with them feels the effect of their actions until consequences come full circle by 5pm.
Written cleverly, executed hand-held and edited sleekly by debutant director Sameer Puri, English-spoken Delhi Boom! was shot using extreme wide-angle photography on the streets of Delhi.
Delhi Boom! is the first cult action film to emerge from India, with post production accomplished in Mumbai, London, and Amsterdam. An international crew - including collaborative talent from India, England, Ireland, Netherlands, China, and Australia - worked on the project to realise one vision.

Cherry Red
Director: Stella Scott
Year: 2026
Sylvie is a 15-year old teenager passionate about photography. When she meets a photographer, Michael (36), taking portraits on the street, she hands her his camera and invites her to his studio. While Sylvie imagines he wants to help her, Riz, her best friend, warns that if a guy is talking to her, he’s only interested in one thing. Despite Riz’s remarks, Sylvie can’t help wondering what it might feel like to be seen through his lens. At the studio, Michael and Sylvie connect. She picks things up quickly, taking photos of him, then he takes one of her. Hesitant at first, she leans into it and starts to pose. When he turns away, seemingly uninterested, Sylvie removes her trousers. His light-touch manipulation has worked: she feels self-possessed, and in control. She leaves walking on air, already imagining the photo he took of her for his upcoming exhibition. She can’t wait to tell Riz. But at the exhibition opening, reality hits: an anonymous photo of her blood-stained knickers hangs on the wall instead. When Sylvie returns and sees Michael, she pretends everything’s Okay. And as the music swells, she seduces him and marks him with her menstrual blood.
