Cannes, France: Storytellers are dreamers who refuse to be confined. Harshada Pathare, celebrated author and voice of a new generation, now steps into a new dimension of creative expression with her documentary Shodh: Goddess of Metamorphosis, officially submitted to the Experimental Category at the Cannes Film Festival.
Known for her bestsellers The Following and Love Talks, Pathare has always explored the spaces between silence and meaning. With Shodh, she transforms the language of stories from the written word into the fluid, emotive power of cinema — a reflection on metamorphosis, resilience, and the quiet revolutions that define human existence.
“Shodh is not just a film; it is a journey beyond form — a search for what lies beyond the visible transformations of life,” says Harshada Pathare. “It represents my evolution not just as a storyteller, but as a seeker of deeper truths.”
As the Cannes Film Festival anticipates its final selection announcements on May 5, 2025, and prepares to celebrate the voices redefining the art of cinema at the event on June 14, 2025, Pathare’s work stands as a bold testament: storytelling is infinite, and creators must dare to cross their own boundaries.
