DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Dark Memories is about a girl that recalls her eve teasing incident from back in India even a year later when she is left alone with her and her thoughts. Eve teasing even though has been addressed several times before, is an extremely common issue, especially in south Asia. These incidents are common among women of all age groups and thus, leaves a life long impact on mental health despite it being a common issue for many others out there. So I feel the need to address it as a short. Everyone has different experiences, and this is my perspective to what it would look like, and how it would leave an impact even today despite the change in location.
