Germ (film)
Germ is a 2010 Hindi language film directed by Snehal R Nair and produced by Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute. The film won two National Film Awards for Best Non-Feature Film and Best Editing at the 58th National Film Awards.[1][2] It was among the 21 non-features selected to be screened as part of the Indian Panorama section at the International Film Festival of India in Panaji, Goa.[3][4]
The film uses abstract visuals and a black-and-white style to depict the human experience, including the effects of cancer, in a subtle and moving way. It explores themes of growth and perception, showing how our view of the world changes as we grow up, using a collection of passport photos to tell the story effectively.[5]
