1. Catharsis
Dur: 35 minutes
Indira
Synopsis
……………..
The film is mapping out the malady of political vendetta in Kerala which rips through the ethos of democracy. As the orgy of violence, fanned to ogreish flames by political parties, is unleashed with impunity, the existential angst of a common man breeds pity and fear. The victims, caught in ideological cross-fire, are ironically hailed as martyrs who slide into oblivion waving the flag of hatred, animosity and vengeance. Those left behind, the grief-stricken families, are consigned to eternal
suffering and anguish.
A film committed to stirring the political conscience of our time, Catharsis is a plea for sanity.

4. Njaval Pazhangal
Dur: 22.55 minutes
Jeeva KJ
Synopsis
..............
Childhood is always like that, they approach everything without any prejudices until they are intervened by external influences. Appu and Ammu were also under this nature's law. They had a childhood that mingled with the tremulous black fishes, nostalgic days awakened by the soaring sourness of black Janine, monsoon that warmed by the softness of black kitties.. But the society grew them up in such a way that people are judged by the external appearance
and complexion as they are the markers of class, cast and creed. Everyone keeps that hierarchy everywhere. Everyone praises the nobility of fair complexion.
Here we present NJAVALPAZHANGAL, the movie which moves the camera to a forbidden truth that how our children got prejudiced by the color who were in love with all the colors unconditionally! This shows how our children acquire the silent elements of racism!!? As the Jaamun, NJAVALPAZHANGAL is a thing that has sweetness of childhood with sourness of truth.
