GANGTOK, : ‘Shape of Momo’, the debut feature film by Sikkimese filmmaker
TribenyRai, has been awarded the Best Fiction Film prize at the 5th edition of
the PK Rosy Film Festival, held in Chennai. The award was announced on April 12
at the festival's closing ceremony.
The
PK Rosy Film Festival is founded and organised by filmmaker Pa Ranjith through
his Neelam Cultural Centre in Chennai. It is named after PK Rosy, a Dalit
actress who was the first woman to act in a Malayalam film.
The
festival is held every April as part of Vaanam, a month-long celebration of
Dalit culture and history coinciding with Dalit History Month.
Now
in its fifth edition, it has established itself as one of the most significant
independent film platforms in India for cinema that speaks from and for
underrepresented communities.
“Our
team is very happy and honoured to have received this award, especially because
of everything this film festival represents. The PK Rosy Film Festival is an
important platform that amplifies Dalit and marginalised voices and to be
recognised here means a great deal to us,” said director TribenyRai.
