A 15-minute Assamese movie ‘Mur Ghurar Duronto Goti’ (The Horse From Heaven), has qualified to be sent as an entry for the Oscar Awards in the short film fiction category.
The film tells the story of a man who believes that he has the fastest horse in the world and wants it to win all races in the city, but what he actually has is not a horse but a donkey. “Now that we have succeeded in qualifying for the entry, it is a dream come true” the 27-year-old director said.
The film was made as a student project at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI), Kolkata, and recently won the best film award at the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival (BISFF), an Oscar-qualifying film festival.
