Payal Sharma

What began as a school love affair with French language—its verbs pirouetting, its adjectives sighing—has now evolved into a PhD quest for me to decode French cinema’s heartbeat through subtitles. I dive into global cinematic narratives and the craft of subtitling—where every hyphen hums a borderless hymn, and pauses become portals. At the Aravali International Film Festival, let’s discover how dialogues dance beyond languages, scripts transcend screens.
