About the Event
A special screening of a 2016 National Award Winner KOTHANODI (The River Of Fables) WATCH TRAILER https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=k-jlVdIBBak ABOUT THE FILM Adapted from four Assamese folk tales, Kothanodi (2015) is a dark multi-narrative film about four shades of motherhood – a mother who puts her daughter’s life at stake for her pride; a woman who has given birth, but still isn’t a mother; a mother who makes a stand for her child; and a mother who never wanted to be one in the first place. The film was first premiered in the Busan International Film Festival 2015, and received the National Film Award for Best Assamese film in 2016. ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Bhaskar Hazarika is from Dergaon, Assam.
