Aflögun isn't just a short film, it's a way of looking at Kolkata; a perspective that was born out of longing for a place we never truly left, fear of childhood memories ebbing away into our teenage mind's silent cacophany, to translate feelings into something that can be experienced.
The word 'Aflögun' means deformed in Icelandic. Every other place in the world has multiple facets, Calcutta does too. But we feel that the rustic side of the city, which is deformed to the core is what brings out it's raw beauty. The city nestles down in a gradient cocoon of its perfections and deformities each day as we watch in awe; as we marvel at the fact that we're a part of what we're witnessing.
That is what makes this city what it is, So we decided to name it Aflögun.
