- Tribeny Rai is developing 'A Chronicle of Minor Things,' a drama about two villages clashing over jurisdiction of a tree where a 15-year-old girl is found dead, with the script currently in progress.
- Tribeny Rai premiered her debut film 'Shape of Momo' at Busan in 2025, winning the Songwon Vision Award and Taipei Film Commission Award, followed by top honors at Kolkata and Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.
- Kislay, producer of 'Shape of Momo' and the new project, says Rai uniquely captures complex characters and transforms the picturesque village setting into a metaphor for larger societal forces.
- The Asian Project Market (APM), part of the Busan International Film Festival’s Asian Contents & Film Market, is hosting 'A Chronicle of Minor Things' as Rai seeks co-producers and financiers.
- Tribeny Rai describes the film as a reflection of how power, money, and politics infiltrate daily life until they become invisible, aiming for viewers to recognize their own world in the story.
Why it matters: Rai’s shift from intimate family dynamics to communal conflict highlights how localized disputes can mirror broader social fractures, making her project a compelling candidate for international co-financing as APM-backed films often attract global attention for their socially resonant themes.
