The world premiere of Oslo: A Tail of Promise will take place in Goa at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
The film comes after producer and actor John Abraham urged a review of the Supreme Court`s order to relocate stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to shelters.
“It`s a film that arrives at a moment when India`s relationship with animals is undergoing urgent public re-examination,” according to a press release.
The film is set to be a non-linear documentary tracing the extraordinary companionship between a Siberian husky, Oslo and Pooja R Bhale, founder of the Protecterra Ecological Foundation.
“Animals don`t need us. We need them more, for grounding, for healing, for the unconditional love they offer without ever asking for anything in return.
`Oslo: A Tail of Promise` is a tribute to that truth, and I am grateful that IFFI is giving this story the space it deserves,” said Abraham, who is also an animal advocate, in a statement.
The Indian Panorama section, considered IFFI`s most prestigious national platform, selects 25 feature films and 20 non-feature films each year, chosen from over 300 entries across the country.
Oslo: A Tail of Promise is directed by Isha Pungaliya and presented by Abraham. It is a joint production by JA Entertainment, Protecterra Ecological Foundation and Vaanar Nirmit.
