What is Footage all about?

Director Saiju Sreedharan’s film Footage is set to introduce the found-footage style of storytelling for the first time in Malayalam cinema. For the unversed, found footage is a film technique where the entire movie or a major portion of it is depicted as though it consists of video recordings made by characters within the narrative, which are subsequently ‘discovered’ and showcased to the audience.
