Shape of Momo

Jury Comment Tribeny Rai's debut feature is unforgettable because it doesn't depict the traditional Indian village we imagine, and Bishnu doesn't represent the traditional Indian woman. The film centers around her, skillfully interweaving her older sister and the marriageable men and women. It concisely and powerfully depicts the challenges of patriarchal India and the submissiveness of women. The delicate interpretation and use of shadows and light highlight the subtle interpretation and captivating imagery of Rai's female director.
