Mumbai, Sep 11 (UNI) National Award-winning filmmaker Rima Das’ next feature, Bulbul Can Sing, which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2018, screened to a packed house of audience
Das' third independent feature in Assamese language made its World Premiere at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2018 in the competition segment, “Contemporary World Cinema”.
Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) said, “Last year Rima Das came to the Festival with Village Rockstars, her delightful drama about a girl with a dream. After its premiere here, it went on to sweep India’s National Film Awards and play dozens of festivals around the world. Das is back with another breath of fresh air, once again shot amidst the timeless beauty of her home village in India’s Assam state. As in the earlier film, Das imbues every frame with insight and respect, and this time there’s a growing exploration of adolescence. Bulbul Can Sing is no simple rural idyll.'
