Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust is the first-ever internationally co-produced Indian animation venture to be selected by a major film festival
Bhopal-born Ishan Shukla's dystopian sci-fi animation film Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust is set for its world premiere in the Bright Future programme at the 2024 International Film Festival of Rotterdam (IFFR, January 25-February 4).
The film represents a significant first. Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust is the first-ever internationally co-produced Indian animation venture to be selected by a major film festival. Targeted at mature audiences, it marks a clean break from Indian animation's roots in children's shows and mythological tales.
Shilpa Ranade's Goopy Gawaiya Bagha Bajaiya, an animated tale inspired by Satyajit Ray's classic children's film Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne, went to the Toronto International film Festival in 2013.
