More about the Film in the Following:

There is an eternal debate between fact and fiction, between what is 
real and what is not. "Lost Or Found" is one such digital film that 
crosses the forbidden paths more often than once. Jim, the photographer 
in the film projects those significant moments of my life which made me 
realize that our world is a jar full of flies, lost in the essence of 
marmalade.I am aware that the essence will die down, all consumed up, 
and so will the flies. As for me, I think I am the essence and at times 
I am the fly. The dual nature of things further bridges the gap between 
fiction and reality, like the bright head lights and burning tail lights 
of our cars which invoked in me a feeling of emptiness flickering 
between ecstasy and pain ecstasy and pain....... a bittersweet symphony.

If digital cinema the world over is rubbishing all demarcations of 
fiction, banal facts, legend ,myth and pure truth then “Lost Or Found” 
is one such film.
LOF is an anthology of metaphors that take us around the vicious circle 
of our material driven life.



SYNOPSIS
There are times when some existences swell up like a hot air balloon,
not in the sky but inside your room, your mind
huddled in a corner JIM (the protagonist) feels this balloon as it 
languidly forces its way up his throat,
In a desperate attempt, to salvage his dehydrating soul, he starts to run.
Now either in this real world or in the flight of a thought,
he knows he will never get too far,
he knows he could never escape these existences.
as he travels in the backwaters of his mind,
he knows these existences will be waiting at a bend to ambush him.



ART EXHIBITION

An exhibition of 15 drawings that further bring out the feeling of LOST 
OR FOUND.
Dream, despair, dilemma, divide, dissolve, A world comes alive, full of 
existences, full of stimuli and their expected responses.

“I leaped back and closed my eyes. But the images forewarned, leaped up 
and closed my eyes with existences:
Existence is a fullness from which man can never get away.”
-Jean Paul Sartre


The drawings depict the images of our subconscious mind, it is forever a 
mesh of images where our sensory perceptions of sight, sound, smell, 
touch etc. are recorded and randomly accessed by us in our daily life.


The event would have the following
1.Art exhibition (15 art works shall be displayed)
2.Screening of a film (60 min)
