‘The Invisible Humans’ has been selected for the second edition of WHO Health For All Film Festival
Filmmaker Aaron Mathew’s motoring enthusiast octogenarian grandfather AM Chacko’s plans, pre-COVID-19, included buying an SUV. “So when he told me he wanted to sell his car, in July 2020, it struck a chord,” says Aaron. “He didn’t see the point in owning a car. The pandemic has changed the lives of senior citizens.” Kochi-based Aaron, an engineer, studied in Pune and worked as copywriter in an ad agency before launching his ad film production company Bun Omelette in Kochi. He has been assistant director for Malayalam films such as Ramaleela and Irupathiyonnam Nootandu. His short film, The Invisible Humans has been shortlisted for the WHO’s ‘Health For All’ Film Festival. One of a handful of Indian films, it is the only one in the Health Emergencies category. The film was chosen from 1,200-odd entries from various countries. Winners will be announced in May, in a ceremony which is scheduled to be streamed live.
