Shefali Shah's Someday to be screened at Indian Film Festival Stuttgart

Shefali Shah's Someday to be screened at Indian Film Festival Stuttgart

Shefali Shah is one of the most talented actresses in the Hindi film industry. Now, she is all set to make her debut as a director with a short film titled Someday.

According to PTI, Someday will be screened at the 18th Indian Film Festival Stuttgart. The film festival will take place from 21st to 25th July and will be held in a virtual format due to the Covid-19 pandemic.


Someday is a story of two women, united by the umbilical cord, separated by a door. The official logline of the short film reads, "Vidhi, a frontline warrior consumed by the medical situation tormenting us. After 15 days on duty, she comes home to a 7-day quarantine. But, can one call it home, when there's only distance between her and the one she loves, her mom, who is gradually turning into a relic of herself due to Alzheimer's. They share conversations from the past and the future with no present to tie them. Some real, some imaginary. Their togetherness oscillating between what was, what can't be, and what may just be Someday."

Shah, who has also written the film, in a statement said, "It's a great honour. It was a conscious decision to send Someday to the film festivals across the globe to see where I stand as a total newcomer in direction, and the fact that it’s been selected in a prestigious festival is such a big assurance.”

Earlier, in April, Someday was shortlisted for the 51st Annual USA Film Festival's International Short Film & Video Competition.

Shefali Shah was last seen in Netflix’s anthology Ajeeb Daastaans. She will next be seen in season two of Netflix’s series Delhi Crime.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
