Certified Universal

The city of Bombay is a living film set that provides the backdrop for screen lives as well as real lives to unfold. ‘Certified Universal’ is a short film that looks at the city’s engagement with the image and image making, which often mirror each other. It is the omnipresence of the cinematic image and people’s desire to recreate their own personal cinemas that interest the film maker, who deconstructs the images of both the city and it’s cinema that have lived off each other for a hundred years.
