The Moon Is Bright Tonight
Abinash Bikram Shah, Nepal, Myanmar, 2018, 16 min.
A dead body of a migrant worker arrives in a remote village of Nepal. Tattini, now a widow, plans to start a new life with her dead husband's life insurance money, away from the shackles of the conservative society she lives in. But her lonely father-in-law, determined to stop her, claiming the money belongs to the village and demands for darrkhana, their traditional hot iron ritual.
Congratulations to Abinash - his most recent short film Lori (Melancholy of My Mother`s Lullabies) has been selected for the Short Films Competition of the 75th Festival de Cannes.

Shafiq is known as Noor in Pakistan’s Khusras transgender community, where he found the kind of love that changed his life. Now, however, he will appear as a man and take on a man’s work for a company that ornately decorates transport trucks. He even finds a girl who loves him as he is. And despite objections from Yasmeen’s brother, Noor goes ahead with the wedding plans. But a scuffle with a drunken rapist sends him on a journey in a stolen truck that forces him to redefine his own identity and his place in the world.

This fascinating road movie inspired by real events in the lead actor’s life is the debut of an international creative duo: Turkish Çağla Zencirci and Frenchman Guillaume Giovanetti.
Exactly 10 years ago, Noor premiered at the 65th Festival de Cannes, screened in the ACID Section.
