What sets the Meenakshi 2024 Malayalam Navarasa Short Films apart is the rigorous visual restraint. In an era of over-editing, Meenakshi uses the "long-take until failure" method. Each of the 7 works features at least one unbroken, ten-minute take. This forces the actors to perform theater within cinema.
