Sapiens Set in Dystopian Near-Future India
Described as a dystopian sci-fi drama, Sapiens was written by Alavi during the COVID lockdown. His company Alavi Motion Pictures is producing alongside Cameron.
The film takes place in a cyborg-controlled village in West Bengal, India, where two rival families, one Dalit and one Brahmin, are pitted against each other amidst apocalyptic events. Ms. Marvel actor Asfandyar Khan stars as the narrator who has lived through the apocalypse.
Shot in parts of Birbhum with a largely Bengali crew and cast, Sapiens tackles complex socio-cultural themes through a genre lens. Alavi describes it as “a study on the human psyche, how far someone can go for power.” Audiences will be able to watch the thought-provoking film in Bengali, Hindi, and English when it is released.
