Read, Digital Desk : Urmimala Boruah and her daughter Snigdha Boruah have come into the spotlight after showcasing their work at the Cannes Film Festival. Their achievement comes from a tranquil village in Assam, emphasizing the latent capabilities of regional cinema at international competitions.

Barriers Can Be Overcome By Telling Stories

Urmimala’s path was filled with societal and professional challenges, but her ability to tell stories fueled her. She started mentoring her daughter Snigdha with a young age starting from the village’s theatres.

Although untitled, the strong attention that Dibrugarh: A Cultural Journey is gaining, strongly backs the expectation that running across Assam’s folklore in modern setting tells a story worth the attention. Snigdha will dedicate herself to the film’s development while studying in Bristeol later this year.

Maintaining cultural identity while integrating modern elements is not something that emerges without credibility.
