Sibi Sekar was born on April 29th, 1997 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Sibi fell in love with cinema at an early age upon viewing the works of directors such as Luis Buñuel and Sergei Parajanov. Sibi began making experimental films and directed his first short films, "Thoughts Out Of Season", “Night Train Light On Track “ and “Teal City”, during his postgraduate years. He launched the SSSW banner during the 2020 pandemic and made his first film ("On Floating Bodies") under said banner.

His works have been screened at over thirty festivals across five continents. He recently graduated from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras with a master's degree in Humanities and Social Sciences and is currently working on explorative films that are primarily an ascetic representation of resistance. The thematic dispositions of his films concern the symbolic depiction of being, nothingness and the transcendental space.
