Bijoyer Pore creates history as first Bengali film at Osaka Asian Film Festival

In a proud moment for Indian and Bengali cinema, Bijoyer Pore (Autumn Flies), directed by Abhijit Sri Das has become the first Indian Bengali film to earn an official selection at the prestigious Osaka Asian Film Festival (OAFF) in Japan.
This recognition is being hailed as a landmark achievement, as the film joins the ranks of globally acclaimed Japanese, Korean, and Chinese works showcased at OAFF. For Indian cinema, particularly Bengal’s rich storytelling tradition, the premiere in Japan marks a fresh chapter of international appreciation.
The film narrates a heartfelt saga of family ties and generational divides, set against the vibrant backdrop of Durga Puja. At its core, Bijoyer Pore is a meditation on love, loss, and resilience. It explores how the human spirit and the bonds of affection transcend even the boundaries of life and death, urging audiences to treasure their loved ones and the fleeting moments they share.
With its Japan premiere, Bijoyer Pore not only elevates Bengali cinema but also strengthens India’s cultural presence in the global cinematic landscape.
