From Nagaland to a path to the Oscars: Indian film brings a rarely seen world to global cinema
BBC NewsFactual
The Indian film Angh, directed by Theja Rio and spoken in the Konyak language of Nagaland, won the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. The win gives the film, which follows a Konyak chief and his son as Christianity arrives in their village in the early 1960s, an unusual route to qualify for consideration at the 2027 Academy Awards without relying on India's official submission.
