Y-Films, the team that loves pushing big
boundaries, be it for the cause of gender equality (Man’s World), transgender
equality (the Cannes’ Lion Grand Prix winner 6-Pack Band), feminism (Ladies
Room), sex education (Sex Chat with Pappu and Papa), or, umm, weddings (Bang
Baaja Baaraat), makes a li’l film that will pull your heartstrings.
What happens when kids read all the atrocious
sexist rubbish that adults (mostly men) land up saying... from Trump to Indian
politicians? Y-Films decided to actually put that to test with a bunch of
really bright kids, who teach us all a thing or two about why it’s important
that we don’t judge, label or discriminate by gender. They beautifully drive
home the point Y-Films has always been hammering - Don’t Grow Up!
The short film also marks the directorial debut of
Y-Films’ Nikhil Taneja and has been produced by Y-Films for India Today. The
film was launched at the recent India Today Women’s Summit under the #BigShorts
umbrella. It is part of a series of commissioned ‘big short’ videos with some
of the best filmmakers of the country including Imtiaz Ali, Meghna Gulzar,
Hansal Mehta, Rohan Sippy and Pradeep Sarkar last year besides Tigmanshu
Dhulia, Ram Madhvani, Nandita Das and Sudhir Mishra this year.
We’re totally chuffed to be keeping such great
company. Hopefully people will enjoy this as much as we did making it!
