You don't need to step out to make a film anymore because filmmaking assumed a whole new meaning amid the pandemic. Ask the 10 young filmmakers from across India who conceptualised, directed and shot 10 short films virtually in the depth of the lockdown, while conforming to social-distancing rules.

From setting frames over Zoom, guiding actors to shoot from varied angles, to waiting for hours for the right light and transferring heavy files over lagging Internet connections over days, The Lockdown Shorts is an anthology of 10 heartwarming short films — spanning under five minutes — shot remotely. These include Sounds of Silence (directed by Himanshi Handa), Coma (Yash Bandi), Firaaq (Amberee Pitamber), Greeny-Tales (Aakar Kaushik), See You On The Other Side (Roy Dipankar), and Bichaari Chidiyaan (Ida Ali), among others.
