Two Months

Two Months Synposis Pathum, a young educated man from the city, works as a teacher in an impoverished village school in rural Sri Lanka. Pathum is in charge of 5th grade students, who are expected to sit for the scholarship exam in two months' time. As the story begins, Pathum is highly disturbed and tormented by the thoughts inside his head. For unexplained reasons, he seems to be motivated by the strong belief that a heinous crime is taking place within the school. As he is certain of what he believes and desperate to punish the perpetrator, Pathum embarks on a risky venture to somehow prove his suspicions. Pathun soon realizes that the situation is more complicated and the stakes are much higher Cast and Crew Written by: Nilmini Perera & Charindra Chandrasena Staring: Shyam Fernando, Bimsara Premaratna, Charindra Chandrasena Directed By: Nilmini Perera Produced By: Charindra Chandrasena, Nilmini Perera, & Chaaritha Dheerasingha DOP: Kapila Sugath Wijayarathna Editor: Chaaritha Dheerasingha Music: Sanjeev Niles Art Direction: Sarath Chandra Jayaweera Makeup: Tharindu Pathirathna Sound: The Turning Point Studio Production Manager: Gayan Deshapriya Assistant Director: Pradeep Rajapaksha Awards and recognition Wins Agenda14 2020 - Nominated for Best Short film Jaffna International Film Festival 2020 - Special Jury Mention Colombo International Women’s Film Festival 2021 - Outstanding Performance (Bimsara Premaratna) Colombo International Women’s Film Festival 2021 - Nominated for Best Short Film National DRUK International Film Festival (Bhutan) - Monthly Winner Luis Bunuel Memorial Awards (India) - Monthly Winner International Film Festival of Sriganganagar (India) Best Film - Special Mention Best Direction (Nilmini Perera) Best Editing (Chaaritha Dheerasinghe) Best Background Score (Sanjeev Niles) Best Global Shorts (India) - Best Fictional Short Film Official Selections Nepal International Film Festival (Nepal) Buenos Aires International Film Festival (Argentina) Anatolia International Film Festival (Turkey) 10th Pune Short Film Festival (India) 7th Goa Short Film Festival (India) The Empty Space Film Festival (India)
