Once upon a Time
Why do all stories begin with ‘Once upon a time’?
Looking for a sense of identity in one’s present, when the present is a living house of memories. Once Upon a Time is a piece of animated poetry set against the backdrop of the Indian sub-continent’s partition memories. Animated black and white drawings illustrate an internal retrospective shelter while the soundtrack is a poem that questions the very nature of the memories themselves.

Vishwajyoti Ghosh
Vishwajyoti Ghosh is based in New Delhi and is currently working as the Creative Head of Inverted Commas, an independent creative collective. A graduate in Applied Arts/Graphics and a post-graduate in Film and Mass Communication, Vishwajyoti dabbles in different forms for story telling: graphics, films, comics and animation keep him busy and distracted.
Major publishing houses in India have published his illustrations. Some of his comics will soon be published in the ASEF Lingua Comica Edition as part of the Lingua Comica Project in London. His solo exhibition of drawings, Paris - Mysteries, Mythologies and Memories, has been touring in India since 2005.
Once upon a time, a deeply personal film, is his first endeavour in animation.
