This film is part of the Silk Screen Film Festival. Admission is free to Pitt students with an ID. Director M. Manikandan delighted Silk Screen audiences last year with his film Crow’s Egg and now he’s back with Crime is Punishment, a massive genre redirect. The film tells the story of Ravi, a mild-mannered collections agent who lives his life with no real drama. Without warning, Ravi finds himself in the middle of the murder investigation of his neighbor where his testimony could afford him the expenses of an eye transplant he so desperately needs. He must decide whether to report the murder to authorities or cash in on his vow of silence.
