Harshada Pathare: Acclaimed Author Turns Visionary Filmmaker with Shodh: Goddess of Metamorphosis at Cannes Film Festival

As the Cannes Film Festival approaches its final selection notification on May 5, 2025, followed by the screening event on June 14, 2025, excitement grows around Pathare’s daring new artistic chapter.

“Shodh: Goddess of Metamorphosis is not just a film; it is an evolution of my storytelling soul,” reflects Harshada Pathare. “In the experimental category, I found a canvas wide enough to paint emotions that words could only whisper.”

Through her transition from page to screen, Harshada Pathare reinforces her brand as a storyteller of the human experience — unbound by format, yet deeply rooted in meaning. Her foray into experimental cinema positions her not just as an author or a filmmaker, but as a visionary creator who dares to explore where few storytellers venture.
