Songs of Forgotten Trees, presented by Anurag Kashyap, had its premiere at the 82nd Venice Film Festival on Monday. The film has been directed by Anuparna Roy.
Speaking after the premiere, Anurag said he was thrilled with the response the film received. "It’s so good to see this for Anuparna and the team, who have worked really hard to pull off a film like this in this day and age. Something, I couldn’t have done even 25 years ago."
"I am sure the film has a long journey from here to the world and she surely is the next strong voice of a filmmaker from India," he added.
Sharing her excitement, Anuparna added, "It’s almost unbelievable for me to see the film premiere here at Venice and the response that it has got. I want to thank the team who were with me on the film and especially my producers who supported me throughout the film.”
Along with Kashyap, the premiere was attended by producers Ranjan Singh (Flip Films), Bibhanshu Rai (River Tale Films), Romil Modi (Romil Casting), and co-producers Navin Shetty (Nube Studio – Nube Cirrus), and Sharib Khan & Vikas Kumar (Khan & Kumar Media).
Anuparna and members of the cast were also present, representing the film on the red carpet in Venice.
