The Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) has launched the Select: Filmed on iPhone programme, showcasing four emerging Indian directors who created short films using the iPhone 17 Pro Max. These films explore themes such as queer romance in Mumbai, identity in Goa, spirituality in Kerala, and psychological isolation in Bengal. Acclaimed filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, known for his award-winning film *Andhadhun*, mentored the directors, emphasizing that modern filmmaking prioritizes creative vision over expensive equipment. Each director utilized the iPhone's advanced features to enhance their storytelling. For instance, Shreela Agarwal's film *11.11* navigates Mumbai's nightlife, while Ritesh Sharma's *She Sells Seashells* captures the dreams of a teenage migrant girl in Goa. Robin Joy created a surreal narrative in *Pathanam (Paradise Fall)*, and Dhritisree Sarkar explored psychological themes in *Kathar Katha (The Tale of Katha)*. MAMI director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur believes this initiative encourages more filmmakers to experiment, proving that access to traditional cameras is no longer a barrier to cinematic storytelling.
