Guwahati: Assamese director Maharshi Tuhin Kashyap’s debut feature film, ‘Kok Kok Kookkook‘, has been selected for the 30th Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. The film will be screened in the festival’s Vision Asia section.

The Vision Asia section at BIFF showcases innovative films from Korea and Asia, spotlighting bold, boundary-pushing works by emerging filmmakers representing the future of Asian cinema.

The 30th Busan International Film Festival will be held from September 17 to 26.

Produced by the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI), Kolkata, the film is described as a magic realist horror drama. It explores the intense lives of migrants struggling for identity within a gritty urban landscape.

Kashyap, previously known for his short films and his distinctive use of magic realism, brings a deeply personal and universal story to the screen, set in his hometown of Guwahati, Assam.

“This film is dedicated to the people of Assam, who once celebrated diversity without hesitation. I fear times and minds are changing,” Kashyap said. “I hope this film stands as a testament to my existence, and of those who fight for identity every day.”

An alumnus of SRFTI, Kashyap developed ‘Kok Kok Kookkook’ as his final dissertation project under the mentorship of filmmaker Dominic Sangma. The film’s world premiere at Busan marks a significant achievement for both the director and contemporary Assamese cinema, highlighting its growing presence on the global stage.
