Chaturbhuj 2025 thanks all contributors for a successful third edition.

We had an overwhelming response to the open call, surpassing our previous three years put together! It was quite a task for the curators to filter it down to 22 films covering 90 minutes! Beyond content, tools and techniques; we tried our best to cover a variety of films in terms of topics, regions, cultures, genders and age-groups. It would be an understatement to say that the films were well received.

Our exhibitions and installations highlighting varied aspects of Indian animation legacy received a warm response. Ashish Thapar and Dhimant Vyas both inspired us with their very different approaches to work and their experiences.

We especially thank the students and staff who volunteered on campus and all filmmakers who submitted and screened their films. We wish them all the best for a bright future.

For magic does happen!
