Born in India in 2000, Luvleen Hunjan is a director, writer, and producer working between Toronto and Delhi. Her recent shorts, including The Trial (2025), Whispering in the Leaves (2024), and On the Cosmic Shore (2023), have screened at festivals such as Festival du Nouveau Cinéma Montréal, Nara International Film Festival, and TIFF. She was one of five selected participants in the Canadian Film Centre’s 2024 Directors’ Lab, where she began developing her debut feature, and previously took part in the Canadian Academy’s 2023 Women in Post Talent lab. Within her films, Luvleen continues to explore the quiet threads that connect people. Much of her work explores the pull of intuition, the natural world and its connection with femininity, as well as the liminal experiences of diaspora and migration.

Whispering in the Leaves

Creator: Luv

Whispering in the Leaves

Creator: Luv
Whispering in the Leaves is the short story of a father and daughter. From the airport, they will travel along a chaotic path--the father is grieving the recent loss of his mother, and has just returned from India after saying his final goodbyes. The daughter had wished to go along with him but was not allowed. She is at the airport to pick him up, and in the car ride home, she grapples with the disappointment she feels of not having been able to join him. She attempts to hold back from unleashing such feelings on to her grieving father.
