:ON GRIEF begins its festival journey with selections at IBF Studios and the Emerging Lens Film Fest. This intimate film about loss and healing is already resonating with audiences across regions, opening doors for deeper conversations around grief, mental health, and the power of honest storytelling.

In the micro-short film :On Grief, a woman’s quiet moment with a trash bin becomes a poignant reflection on loss, memory, and resilience. Through evocative narration and subtle imagery, the film explores how grief distorts time, fills silence with echoes, and transforms absence into enduring connection. It’s a tender meditation on how love lingers—and how healing begins in the smallest gestures.
