Ten years after making his Cannes debut with Masaan, filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan is headed back to the Croisette. His new film Homebound has been officially selected for the prestigious Un Certain Regard section at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
Un Certain Regard — a category that spotlights daring, innovative films and celebrates promising first-and-second-time filmmakers — served as Ghaywan’s launchpad in 2015 when Masaan earned him the Promising Future Prize and the FIPRESCI Award.
Masaan, a poignant portrait of four intertwined lives in a small-town in India, resonated globally for its emotional depth.
With Homebound, Ghaywan is poised to take his empathetic storytelling on the world stage once more. +
