Acclaimed Indian actor, and past Busan visitor, Adil Hussain (“Star Trek: Discovery,” “Life of Pi”) will headline “Riding on the Moon Boat,” one of the projects …
Set in rural India, the film will follow an adolescent girl who struggles to survive through drought, hardship and discrimination as her father is shunned by the majority of the village for engaging in a blasphemous act. It is an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic story “Mahesh” .
For Banerjee too, the project harks back to a time when she used to visit her remote ancestral village in Jharkhand, a time awash with stories narrated by her grandmother, and in particular, “Mahesh,” which her father narrated at a time of personal loss. “It is a story of loss that explores the relationship of a man and his farming ox,” Banerjee told. “Though I had read ‘Mahesh’ in school, when I revisited the story, I connected with it at a deeper level.
The script was presented at the Global Media Makers residency in 2019. Banerjee is no stranger to Busan, with her first film as associate producer, Shivajee Chandrabhushan’s “Frozen,” screening at the festival 2007 and she participated as a screenwriter at APM 2011 with Chandrabhushan’s “One More,” which released in 2012.Kyoko Dan
