Sharmeen’s new short film is out
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has released the fourth short film from her seven-part Home 1947 series, titled Midnight Fury.
The series, which is being produced under Obaid-Chinoy’s SOC Films banner, is said to be a “deeply personal exploration” of the lives and stories of millions of people who were displaced as a result of the Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 and the communal riots that broke out. Midnight Fury presents the emotions of a young boy at the time of Partition, for whom home has been reduced to just a painful memory, full of heartache and grief.
