Official selection at the La Cinef Section of Cannes, Chidananda S Naik's Sunflowers Were the First Ones to Know is a 15-minute film, centers on an elderly woman whose theft of the village's prized rooster throws the community into perpetual darkness, disrupting its harmony.
This act propels the villagers into a frantic search to recover the missing bird and restore sunlight. Filmed entirely at night, the movie exudes an air of mystery and intrigue.
Sunflowers Were the First Ones to Know is inspired by a Kannada folktale that Chidananda has cherished since childhood. To his surprise, despite its popularity within Karnataka, he found that most people outside the state were unfamiliar with the story.
“My dream has been to transform the myths and folktales of India into cinematic experiences, and with such a wealth of stories waiting to be told, this short film feels like the perfect place to start.” shares the director.
IFP Proudly Presents the Trailer of the Film.
