Toto Awards for Short Film 2021: Shortlist

This has been an unusually strong year for the short film Toto Awards. As many as 40 films (from a total of 130 applications) were long-listed and seven films (as against the usual four) have made it to the shortlist. The names of the shortlisted filmmakers (in alphabetical order) and the titles of their films are as follows:

1. Anant Dass Sahni (Saharanpur) Film: Naked Wall

2. Ashmita Guha Neogi (Faridabad, Haryana) Film: CatDog

3. Bibhanshu Rai (Adityapur, Jharkhand) Film: Chaukhat 

4. Devshree Nath (Lucknow) Film: Noor Islam

5. Megha Acharya (New Delhi) Film: Sudhamayee

6. Shubham Sharma (Amritsar) Film: Even Fake Flowers Have Scent On Happy Days  

7. Shuchi Prasad  (New Delhi) Film: When I Was Small   

The names of the two winners, who will each receive a cash prize of Rs 50,000 and a handcrafted trophy, will be announced at an online awards ceremony in February 2021. 

TFA wishes all the shortlisted filmmakers best of luck and deeply regrets that not all of them can win a Toto Award for Short Film in 2021!
