Blink by Anthelion Films makes a global presence

Blink, a sci-fi thriller has received a lot of attention recently at prestigious international film festivals across the world

The film directed by Atmaja Bopardikar is based on the concept of parallel realities that exist simultaneously. The film also poses the question of what would happen if these different realities collided into each other.  The film has garnered audiences from around the world, including, the USA and the European markets.  

The director, Atmaja Bopardikar, was excited at the response the film has received and went on to mention, “The kind of response and views the film has received is overwhelming for me and my team. Its selection at the festivals has given us all an encouragement and the kind of boost that all film-makers need. The subject was very different, slightly risky given its ending and hence I felt it better suited the short film format.” 

Akanksha Bopardikar, who is the film’s producer said she’d never been a part of such a project before and went on to explain her experience as, “This was an interesting and somewhat challenging concept to produce given the format we had chosen, but was well received by Indian audiences. I hope this opens doors for creating more Indian sci-fi films for viewers everywhere.”  

The film which received praise at various festivals including Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival also made its presence felt in Hollywood at the Asia Film Festival. Blink is now available in India on the Disney Hotstar.

“Before the pandemic, we were working on some very interesting projects which had to be put on hold given the situation we are in. The health and safety of our team is and will always be of paramount importance for us “, said Akanksha. 

Atmaja shared, “This pandemic has given us a lot of time to think, to find the strong human connection which we all share.  There is nothing more gratifying than helping someone in need. It’s important that we stick together and do whatever we can to help the ones in need. The loss of life is immeasurable.”
