Movanu’s Falhu is a farewell to his teenage years. While the short film is set on the island of Rinbudhoo in Dhaalu Atoll, his grandmother’s island, the filmmaker bade goodbye to Male and his friends when he left for studies after his O’ Levels. He thinks the idea of separation has universal appeal, that centralisation is “dumb”, and that a filmmaker has a role in society – to bare its soul without judgment.
