Abdhi Banerjee

Abdhi Banerjee is an independent filmmaker and writer from West Bengal, India, currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering at MCKV Institute of Engineering. His creative interests extend beyond filmmaking into literature, storytelling, and the exploration of human psychology. With a deep-rooted interest in cinema, Abdhi approaches filmmaking as a medium of personal expression—a way to explore identity, loneliness, existential questions, and the complexities of human relationships. His storytelling often draws inspiration from psychological drama, absurdism, mystery, and neo-noir cinema. His previous short film, *TOTEM*, received recognition at independent film festivals, including Best Short Film at FNFF 2025 and awards for Best Director – Impactful Storytelling and Best Editor at IICUFF. His work reflects an interest in intimate narratives, unconventional storytelling, and the emotions that often remain unspoken. Through his films, Abdhi hopes to explore the quieter, more unsettling corners of human existence and tell stories that stay with audiences long after the screen fades to black.
