Rupesh Paul Collaborate for a

Riveting Tale of Resilience at

Cannes Film Festival 2024

In a powerful union of artistic
vision and storytelling prowess,
Kristna Saikia and renowned
filmmaker Rupesh Paul are set to
once again mesmerize
audiences with a poignant film
project, named ‘Once upon a
time on the East’ slated for
presentation at the prestigious
Cannes Film Festival in 2024.
The project, born from real-life
incidents in North East India,
delves into a narrative rich with
the tumultuous realities of a
village plagued by violence and
the struggle for justice,
particularly felt by the women in
the community.

This collaboration marks yet
another chapter in the creative
partnership between Kristna
Saikia and Rupesh Paul, building
upon their shared history of
numerous successful projects.
Their past collaborations have
sparked emotive, thought-
provoking stories, and this
upcoming venture is poised to
amplify their partnership to new
heights.
