A tale of loneliness
A quiet man awaits his usual Sunday haircut. Arun Fulara’s debut directorial, Sunday, was picked by BFI Flare: London LGBTQiA+ Film Festival as one of the five short films in the LGBTQiA+ genre. An engineer by qualification, Fulara’s interest in literature, arts, and cinema led him to launch the detailed film website, Jamuura.com, and continue writing. His tryst with cinema began with director Devashish Makhija’s Ajji in 2017, followed by the National Award winning Bhonsle. Talking about his debut short, Fulara said, “Sunday is a personal story that came out of a place of loneliness.” Describing the short film format, he said it allowed him to “recreate a moment in the life of the character and let the audience feel what he is feeling.” His latest short, My Mother’s Girlfriend (2021) has won the Best Short Film gong at the Indian Documentary and Short Film Festival Kerala (2021), marking the start of a fascinating career.
