Kankhua a film directed by Arindam K dutta and Produced at Girgit Studios is nominated at Hsin-Yi Children's Animation Awards 2023.
Earlier the film also got nominated at prestigious festivals like IDFFS Kerala 2023 and BISFF 2023, an Academy Awards qualifier festival in India.
The film "Kankhua" is a small part of the "Lalon and Q" series that we are developing as an IP at Girgit Studios, that is filled with such small thought provoking stories for children (and grownups who managed to keep the child alive in their hearts.) Each story is being directed by talented Animation storytellers from India and executed by team of designers in a different style and treatment.
Being tormented by a deadly flood, a little Assamese girl 'Hiya' ventures to get help for herself and her grandmother. But her path includes a forest which is inhabited by the local boogeyman Kankhua.
Kankhua is our effort to encourage people to take a step outside into the unknown to earnestly enquire and understand the "man" in the "Bogeyman", and who knows it could turn your opinion about them up-side down!
