Short film “Mask” wins many Awards
The film was a topic of discussion in the 9th Mumbai Short International Film Festival 2020
Director S K Dash’s short film “Mask” was well appreciated in national and international film festivals and won many awards
The Odia short film ‘Mask’ directed by a senior officer of the Odisha Administrative Service (OAS) Mr. Sweta Kumar Dash recently won the prestigious International People’s Choice Award at the Quarantine Image Film Festival-2020 in Argentina.
The 7-minute-18-second film revolves around the struggle of a poor boy to sustain livelihood for his family amid COVID-19 pandemic. The boy did it by selling the hand-made masks prepared by his mother. The film also showed the reluctance of people to purchase them due to the low price. Among 3000 entries, the jury members adjudged ‘Mask’ as the best awareness film on COVID-19. Brilliant acting by Ajay Choudhury, a minor boy hailing from a poor family in Berhampur, also received wide appreciation from the jury members.
The film also made into the final list of nominees at the “Flickfair” and was widely acclaimed in the First-Time Filmmakers Sessions Film Festival in UK. It was officially selected for finals in 16th Resistance International Film Festival in Teheran, Iran, as the only film from India. Besides, the film was officially selected for the finals in 9th Mumbai Short International Film Festival 2020 held in Mumbai on 6 December 2020. Also, the film was selected as an official entry for the finals in the shortest film category in the Film Festival of India, 2020.
Dash, working as SDM, in Odisha’s revenue department, who is now on a four-month deputation to Ganjam district for COVID duty, managed to find time during leisure to prepare the script and direct the movie. “In order to ensure greater awareness among the people for using mask to bring down the spread of Corona virus, I made a short film “Mask”, which received overwhelming appreciations from Hon’ble Governor of Odisha, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Odisha, Hon’ble MPs and MLAs and other dignitaries from all across the world, Dash said.
Dash, the creative director of the film “Delhi Bus” based on ‘Nirbhaya Case’, had also partnered in writing the screenplay and dialogue of that film. He has made many short films earlier too. In 2019, he received the Best Short Film Award from Government of Odisha for the short film “Sunny”- The Son of River Mahanadi”, which focused on the issues related to river Mahanadi.
