Vedant Naik

A full-time producer and account manager at a podcasting company, Naik knew that the films he wanted to showcase at the club should be a new experience for participants.  “Before every screening, I carefully curate a list of global films that I have watched and single out one film that no one has heard of. The theme is usually obscure. It is like a secret society where people on the outside do not have any idea about the content that we watch.” The club began its sessions from April 2.

Off the Books will be conducting its third screening this weekend and while Naik cannot reveal the name of the film, he assures that it falls in the absurdist cinema category, “When we put out an announcement, we publish a prompt for the film along with it; just before the screening begins, we reveal the name. During the intermission, we have a short discussion about our views on the film. A second discussion takes place after the film, to briefly decode it. This intimate network that has been formed is what makes these screenings special,” Naik concludes.
