Manhatta
A playful feminist fantasy counter-colonizing the gaze and exploring intersectional objectification. A Black Manhattan man walks home alone, after seeking to fix his looks and his luck with women. Overwhelmed by their collective action objectifying him, he seeks divine intervention via his reflection in the ocean. With Harlem Renaissance poet Claude Mckay's "On Broadway."

The Great Artist (Trailer)
"Every star needs darkness to shine."
"For great art there must be suffering."
The Great Artist looks at the struggles of mental health through the lens of the art world.
Reflecting on the sacrifices made to create great art, while suffering and hiding mental illness, this film is created to destigmatize and drive conversations about mental health, inclusive of underserved LGBTQ+ and racially diverse communities, to help save lives.
"It is the climax that is truly brilliant -- one that earned the film a consideration for the Live Action Short Film shortlist for the 93rd Academy Awards...Are we all striving to achieve 'greatness' by holding our authentic self hostage? This is the haunting question that Pal-Chaudhuri leaves her viewers with." - Prerna Mittra, The Indian Express

Legend of Lady White Snake
A reinversion of both an ancient Chinese legend, and Neil Gaiman's Blackbeard poem "The Hidden Chamber." A snake demoness, having transformed into a New Yorker to experience love, faces the patriarchy's judgement. She struggles with time, obsession, heteronormative gender-based power dynamics, transgender and trans-species metamorphosis, in search of her love. She achieves union, becoming that which she seeks, in an act of devouring - as an ouroboros.
"Whereas Lady White Snake has historically been seen as an evil demoness, Pal-Chaudhuri’s film modernizes the figure, using the myth to explore heteronormative power dynamics as well as transgender and trans-species metamorphosis. Returning to and reinventing mythology affords one the opportunity to, “counter-colonize the gaze… allowing one to engage with popular ideas by subverting, inverting, and otherwise messing with them” (Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri).

Be the Subject Not the Object
A multimedia campaign spotlighting women across industries for their unique character, intelligence, and success — rather than commonly objectified attributes. By showcasing everyday-yet-exceptional women in Hollywood-caliber documentaries, high-end photography, and fame-worthy global markets — we will affirm & inspire gender equality through women’s empowerment.
Starring Beatrice Fihn, Nobel Peace Prize winner for ICAN, who is abolishing nuclear weapons.
Produced by Chiara Tilesi, We Do it Together nonprofit, and GK Reid. Directed by Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri.
"As a female filmmaker I have realized that there are numerous films about women but we didn't direct them. Women's stories have been portrayed featuring their bodies more than their achievements. We will be giving a real and significant voice to every woman of every ethnicity and age. We want these powerful women to be heard and seen for who they are and what they really represent."
