Kotoky said.The Mumbai-based filmmaker further said that the film has also been selected at Covellite International Film Festival 2026 of theUSA."After watching 'Moi Eti Nixhasor' at Covellite, filmmakers described it as a 'delightful little celebration' with strong audienceengagement. While it is not a major festival like Cannes or Sundance, it is highly regarded for its quality, diversity and dedication to showcasing independent work from around the world," he added.Although he did not share any timeline, but Kotoky said that once the film is commercially released in Assam a few months down the line, the people of the state will shower similar love toward it.The lead cast is played by noted theatre actor Gunomoni Baruah, while several senior and junior artistes of Assamese film industryhave enacted other important characters.Based on a true story written by senior journalist Anuradha Sharma Pujari, the film has been produced by the National FilmDevelopment Corporation and red river & blue hills.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
