Guess What?! Nagaland’s ‘Angh’ Starring Douglas Henshall is Heading to Toronto Film Fest!
- We just got the inside scoop on ‘Angh,’ a new film from Nagaland.
- It’s the *only* Indian movie in a huge competition at TIFF!
- Douglas Henshall from ‘Shetland’ is in it, too.
Alright, folks, we just saw a super exciting clip, and trust us, this is big! Nagaland filmmaker Theja Rio’s first movie, ‘Angh,’ is making waves even before its world premiere. Major waves, actually.
It’s heading straight to the Toronto Film Festival. The TIFF. And get this – it’s the only Indian film chosen for their super competitive Platform section. That’s a massive deal!
The story takes us way back to the early 1960s, deep in the remote hills of Nagaland. It’s all about the Konyak people, and honestly, the visual style looks absolutely stunning. The unique aesthetic, the colors of the landscape, the way it captures a specific time and place – it pulls you right in.
And the cast? You might know Douglas Henshall from ‘Shetland.’ Yep, he’s in ‘Angh’ too! Jungle Book Studio is handling all the international sales, which means lots of people around the world will get to see this unique film. We can’t wait for everyone to experience this powerful story.
Our Take
We are absolutely thrilled for Theja Rio and the whole ‘Angh’ team! It’s not every day you see a film like this representing India on such a global stage. This movie feels like a breath of fresh air, showing us a part of the world and a story we don’t often get to experience. It’s a huge win for diverse storytelling, and we think it’s going to be a must-watch!
