Short Avant-Garde

Synopsis

A ritualised choreography of hands and simple objects above a section of soil offers a phenomenological journey to the essence of the cycle of life.

MUBI's take

Through a symbolic depiction of the ‘Panch Bhoota’, the five basic elements of existence according to Hinduism, Aahuti offers a metaphorical take on the circle of life. The delicate choreography and hypnotic soundscape exquisitely accentuate the textures of this mesmerising black and white short.
