"Gul" (flower) a painterly short film

[madguru]

"Gul" is a short animated film I finished earlier this month. I am currently sending it out to film festivals and hope to start screening it in September around the world.

Here are some stills:





Synopsis:
A painterly tale set in an industrialized wasteland, Gul is a young girl caught in an abusive struggle between survival and compassion. A mother's final breath pushes her to relive the past and stumble forth to determine her future.

This film uses computer graphics to create a painted look. It was scored with traditional Sindhi Jogi folk music and a rich layer of sound design to breath life into a wordless, raw and visually rich story of youth, innocence, greed and claiming the future.

Thanks go out to Suffi Bilal Khalid of the National College of Arts in Lahore, Fatah Daudpoto of Communication Design at the Center for Design Excellence in Jamshoro, Sindh and Saeed Mangi of the Institute of Sindhology in Jamshoro, Sindh for making it possible for me to connect to the right musicians and record their music for this film.
