The Seat of Troubles

Coming soon

Handmade claymation short

The Seat of Troubles is an upcoming stop-motion-animated historical fiction short-film written, directed, shot, animated, and edited by Adi Chandra, Director of Cinema. Set in Chandra's fictional country of Ayistan during the mid-nineteenth century, the film chronicles the sequence of events leading up to a devastating war of conquest between a tiny Indic island nation, fighting to preserve its indigenious way of life, and the ruthlessly expansionist British Empire, hell-bent on imposing its own in the name of civilisation.

Shubham Das, Under-Director, served in the production as the 3D art generalist. Arijit Majumder, Siddharth Nagaonkar, and Ashish Singh Rana too worked on the many assets in the short-film. The short-film voice-stars Ed Robinson, Nathan Luwa, Abdul Rahman Siddiqui, Pedro Baía, Adi Chandra, and Aishwarya Poddar.

The Seat of Troubles was officially announced on 31 October 2025 with the minute-long trailer on YouTube.
