Among the six short feature films that will be showcased at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) &mdash; Shor and Sujata are in Hindi.u00a0 Back in May 2011, Tumbhi launched Paanch, a script-writing competition, and the prize promised was a chance to translate the winning scripts into short films. Shor and Sujata were this year&rsquo;s winners. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/Shor.jpg" /> A still from Shor Shor, scripted and directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, is a film based on a couple from Banaras who is consumed by its pursuit to survive in the seedy ghettos of Mumbai city. The film portrays the struggle of a working class woman&rsquo;s endeavours. Naturally, Neeraj sounds very excited as this is his first ever short film! He says, &ldquo;The journey so far has been really great. The biggest learning for me was to understand that the most difficult task is to actually assemble a great team which is equally excited about the project hence the success of the film must be accredited to them.&rdquo; Scripted by Annie Zaidi and directed by Shlok Sharma, Sujata is a 10-minute short film about a woman who takes matters into her own hands when her childhood tormentor hunts her down after years of running away from him. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/Sujata.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 446px; " /> A still from Sujata Shlok stated he&rsquo;s delighted and added, &ldquo;This is a recognition for all the efforts my team has put in. I would specially like to thank Annie for writing such a beautiful script. I&rsquo;m totally looking forward to get a good response to the film.&rdquo; The other four short films to be screened are Khara Karodpati (Piyush Thakur), Aashpordha (Anirban Roy), The 5 (Ravi Kapoor) and Place for Landing (Shambhavi Kaul).u00a0
