“A defiant bang”

- Glasgow Short Film Festival


The Buddhist Tale Twelve Sisters form the basis of this speculative folktale that scrutinizes our existence on this planet, depicting a generation adrift between mythical and earthly realms. Parinda Mai questions the effects of globalization, technological progress, and humanity's place within an endless cycle of exploitation and destruction. Blinded by Centuries captures the confusing times we are living in, culminating in a synergy of image and sound.

Jury Statement:

"We thought that this short pushed the boundaries of what's possible with cinema. Bold, energetic, and surprisingly tongue-in-cheek, this film, inspired by the ancient Buddhist tale Twelve Sisters, questions modernization in a thought provoking way. Parinda, we hope that you continue to tell daring, adventurous stories distinctly and passionately as you told this one."
