Actor John Abraham backed documentary Oslo: A Tail of Promise will have its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI). The festival will be held in Goa from November 20 to 28.
The documentary is directed by Isha Pungaliya and presented by John. It is a joint production by JA Entertainment, Protecterra Ecological Foundation and Vaanar Nirmit.
As per a press release shared by the makers, “Oslo: A Tail of Promise is a deeply felt, non-linear documentary that traces the extraordinary companionship between a Siberian husky, Oslo and Pooja R Bhale, founder of the Protecterra Ecological Foundation. It is a story anchored in the belief that animals have always been our guides and that humans, in times of fracture, need their wisdom more than ever.”
Reflecting on the film, John said, “Animals don’t need us. We need them more, for grounding, for healing, for the unconditional love they offer without ever asking for anything in return. Oslo: A Tail of Promise is a tribute to that truth, and I am grateful that IFFI is giving this story the space it deserves.”
The documentary will be screened at the Indian Panorama section of IFFI, which selects 25 feature films and 20 non-feature films each year, chosen from over 300 entries across the country.
