An AQUEOUS HUMOUR production
FOLLICULAR is a documentary film about the ‘all types that
make the world’. In cities and towns where appearances, fashion forwardness,
conformity, or the lack of which, marks popular judgement and social constructs, Follicular is an independent film that takes a look at the relative individuality of people.
We introduce the film through commonplace sights and
sounds- everyday instances that shape our public personality and perception. The crew explores people of different ages, backgrounds and cultures, with very different ideologies and self-concepts. This is apparent in the three different segments of the film. Follicular is a probe
into the consciousness of individuals through a basic physical manifestation,
hair. Dressed up, dressed down, non-existent or in irreconcilable conditions, it
documents an uncanny exploration of this physical attribute and its
internalization.

Here's also a rough, RANDOM, unfinished trailer of the film, with no subtitles, bad quality sound and confusing edit, which does no justice to its content whatsoever. Still, since we've got no better option at the moment and are very lazy to resume work on this project, watch:
Also, to redeem ourselves, here's a clip of the introduction/opening of the film. May be equally confusing without the remaining the 47 mins of the film, but what the hell. Excuse low upload quality. I've had to reduce from 13.9gb to 40mb!

The reason the entire movie isn't online is because last year we had decided to send it out to the film festival circuits once it was complete. Well, it's still not complete. We need to put in one more little clip somewhere in between, subtitle the whole movie, get it approved by the censor board and cut a good trailer, unlike the earlier one. That's a lot of work. And we be lazy. And distracted. And frustrated that we can't get this done with. Vicious loop. All there on a post-it that I look at everyday.
