Surya Balakrishnan
Surya Balakrishnan is a filmmaker and co-founder of Footloose Films, a Mumbai-based advertising production house. A graphic design graduate and NYFA alum, Balakrishnan recently directed two episodes of the critically acclaimed Amazon Original Khauf. Her debut feature documentary, Amarkatha (2025), is an eco-political film set in Kashmir that explores the complexities of the Amarnath pilgrimage. A format-agnostic by choice, Balakrishnan gravitates toward stories that gently urge us to care.

Three Colours: Red
Irène Jacob plays Valentine, a runway model living in Geneva, who crosses paths with a retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who's a bit of an eavesdropper. Initially repelled, she becomes intrigued by this man, as do we... Kieslowski's sublime adieu.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Four Weddings begins with an onslaught of fucks. It's the first signal that this rom-com will break from tradition, despite the ritualized structural conceit described in the title. The witty screenplay is by Richard Curtis — it's still his best.
Camp
Reeling from two devastating tragedies, Emily (Zola Grimmer) takes refuge at a summer camp for troubled youth, where she has been offered a position as counsellor. She finds friendship, but also something more unexpected, something truly troubling...
