The makers of the indie short film Virundhu( The Feast) released the film's trailer online. The Tamil language short, directed by independent filmmaker Rishi Chandna, is set in Pulicat, Tamil Nadu. 

Virundhu is about a feisty prawn picker, Mary (Antony D. Janagi), who sets up a lavish feast in the local chapel for Thomas (George Vijay), a powerful politician from her fishing community. She serves delectable favourites—milkfish and mud crab, among others—that are fast turning extinct due to the pollution in the local lake.

The short film is part of Rishi Chandna's anthology of three short fiction films on marginalised communities dealing with issues of climate change and political disenfranchisement in the context of water pollution, access and inequality.

The 25-minute film is the only one from India that will be competing at the biggest festival dedicated to shorts, the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.
