Assamese short film “Xogun” (Vulture), directed & scripted by Utpal Borpujari and adapted from an acclaimed short story by noted writer-journalist Manoj Kumar Goswami, has been selected to the International Children’s Rights Film Festival (ICRFF), to be held in Izmir city of Turkey.
The festival, organized annually to create awareness about children’s rights by the Children’s Rights Culture and Art Association, will be held during November 12-20 in the historic coastal city on Turkey.
Produced by Guwahati-based socio-cultural organisation IFT India, “Xogun” has earlier been screened at several prestigious short film festivals, such as the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival, 14thSigns Festival (Thiruvananthapuram), New York Indian Film Festival and Tasveer South Asian Film Festival (USA).
