About Vikram

Vikram Bhandari is a multi-talented artist-filmmaker, photographer, writer, singer,
songwriter, painter, and actor – a maverick. A visual storyteller, he loves to tell stories
mostly through the medium of digital films.

His film "Enjoy-Pleasure Paradox" won the "honourable jury mention" award at the Dada
Saheb Phalke Film Festival (2018) in India. It was part of the Official Selection at Delhi
Short Film Festival-2018 and Kolkata International Film Festival (2018) as well.
His latest documentary – Jaws of Death, on a secret rescue mission of children from the
ISIS in Syria has been selected at various film festivals, including the Lift-Off Film Festival-
Berlin, The Filmy Monks-Mumbai, International Short Film Festival of India and the Golden
Film Festival-Rome. Vikram has also directed and produced several music videos– a few have been published by Zee Music Company, India.

In 2009, Vikram began working on his feature documentary called "Father Spirit". Father
Spirit is an unblinking look into the story of a son's hopeful effort to connect with his
terminally ill father on one last epic journey.

Vikram has produced tons of human interest documentaries and loves subjects that deal
with the human condition and the human psyche.
Growing up he loved to paint and filmmaking has been a natural progression from
painting and photography. Vikram has a master's degree in Media Communication.
