Film Director & Writer
Raam Reddy is an award-winning Indian filmmaker, writer, and photographer whose work is celebrated for its poetic realism and deeply human storytelling. His debut feature film, Thithi (2015), premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won both the Golden Leopard for Best First Feature and the Pardo d’Oro for Best Film, making it one of the most internationally acclaimed Indian debuts of the decade. The film went on to screen at over forty festivals worldwide, including MOMA, Palm Springs, and Mumbai, earning widespread praise for its authenticity, humour, and insight into rural life. A graduate of St. Stephen’s College and the Prague Film School, Raam’s artistic vision extends beyond cinema into writing and photography, where his work continues to explore the delicate space between the real and the mythical. With his new feature, Jugnuma: The Fable, Raam returns to filmmaking, expanding his cinematic world into a more dreamlike and allegorical realm. Shot on 16mm film, the project embodies his belief in the tactile, organic power of image and sound. Raam’s work stands as a meditation on truth, imagination, and the invisible threads that bind human experience.
