Ridham Janve studied and practiced communication design before finding his calling in the moving images. His debut feature film, The Gold-Laden Sheep and the Sacred Mountain, premiered at Rotterdam and won the Silver Gateway Award at Mumbai and the FIPRESCI Prize at Hong Kong, amongst other awards and recognitions. He is an alumnus of Produire Au Sud, Dharamsala and La Fabrique, Cannes. Apart from making films, he writes, paints and sculpts, pushing the boundaries of form and often landing in unexplored territories.
