Yellow (2023)
A succint short with a crucial message
I had the priviledge of watching Yellow at the London Indian Film festival where it was one of the official short film selections for 2023. The film is just one scene set in a bhurqha store but makes us travel through the past and the future of Afghanistan. The past was hopeful for women and the future is bleak. A movie with a moving vital message that showcases the value of freedom for Muslim women in few words and paints a picture of hope and aspirations of millions of women. Short films like this is a call to action to work towards making the future bright for women akin to its title.
The short film just has 2 characters that speaks volumes with their eyes. Visual camera work is a treat. The viewer will be intrigued, confused, moved to tears and angered in just a few minutes.
Master storytelling at its best. ELHAM is a director to watch.
