Elephant Captivity Indian Animation ‘Mangal’ Heads to Busan’s Asian Project Market
India's 'Mangal - The Holy Beast' has been selected for the Busan Asian Project Market, examining the plight of captive elephants through animation.
Maiti, whose animated short “Neer” (Water) played at festivals including Anifilm and Monstra, chose this subject after encountering captive elephants in Kerala, southern India. “I was surprised to see how skilfully the elephants stood still and straight for hours throughout the celebration and noticed the heavy chains around their limbs restricting them from moving freely. The project has participated in the MIFA Pitches at Annecy, is currently part of India’s NFDC Screenwriters Lab and is heading next to Seattle’s Tasveer Film Market.
