What is Ootpataang
Ootpatang (Hindi, Colloquial) - The weird, absurd, or nonsensical.
The Ootpatang Festival is a one-day celebration of all that - short film screenings, live performances, and interactive workshops - for the weird, by the weird, held over one day in New Delhi,2026.
This is a gathering of the super-normal, where you can show off your weird side and experience new and interesting experiences - from films that expand your understanding of narrative and ‘good taste’, live experiences that break through the noise of bland ‘content’, and most importantly, community of creative, artistic, and like-minded weirdos like yourself.
