Ootpatang (Hindi, Colloquial) - The weird, absurd, or nonsensical.
The Ootpatang Festival is a one-day celebration of ajeeb and weird or nonsensical.
Of those who don’t fit in - 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.
OPT will feature a dedicated film screening area throughout the day, a space for live performances and interactive experiences, and a large common area where all can gather to celebrate whatever is outside the mainstream, away from the norm, and off the kilter.
for the weird, by the weird.
