Afterpast

The plot

Afterpast is a take on the Lockdown and Lockdown films that illustrate relatability in the period of Covid19, as it tries to evoke a need to come out of this as better humans.

Afterpast, the created word and the idea, derive themselves from the aftermath of humankind’s sinful past, looking ahead into the hopeful future. It is a crowd sourced music video/film made along with the support of a humble sample size of diverse fellow humans, reflecting our collective yearning of the outdoors, which is a micro level insight, to throw immense light on macro issues that plague a global scale.  Exploring the depth of how greed lies at the core of human nature, which is realized as we feel that the grass is always greener on the other side. The film is a looking glass into a shared consensus of humanness at its rawest. The core concept is tied to what lies in the core of humanity - greed. In sync with Prabh Deep’s words in Pandemic, Afterpast is an Alternate Music Video that brings immersive visuals to his words. The depth of human nature is realized as Pandemic exudes the ethos of humanity’s greed. Maybe the question isn't where but who the real virus is?

Director Bio: Debraj Goswami is a filmmaker at heart and by profession, I’m 23 with ambitious visions and I aspire to be an illustrious director. I’m currently employed with a production house in Delhi, India, where I’ve worked on some award-winning projects. Afterpast is a pure long due independent passion project and an excuse to test my vision, it is a crowdsourced film I directed during the Covid-19 lockdown, from my room. With my zeal for directing, creating and getting inspired, I find myself entering the film festivals I look up to, to motivate myself. Whether it’s a nomination, a screening, a win or a loss - I find a lot to learn and work towards perfecting my craft - wherever my love for filmmaking takes me.
