We’re excited and happy to announce that our film “Josef – Born in Grace” has been selected for screening at Mumbai Indie-Film Festival 2022 on 5th September 1 P.M. onwards at 191, Aaram Nagar Part-II, Versova, Andheri-West, Mumbai.
“Josef – Born in Grace” is an adaptation of the short story “Joseph” written by Umakanta Mahapatra and is set in India’s foothills of the Himalayas between 1960 and 1980. The indie film explores, in its unfolding of time, the different paths that Father O’Hara, Josef, and Maularam take in their respective journeys for spiritual fulfillment through memories, duty, and search as well as their interaction with friends and acquaintances.
The film has been recognized in various national and international film festivals as Best Film, Best Actor, Best Set Design, Multi-Award Winner, Official Nominations, and more. It was also selected in the 92nd Academy Award eligibility list 2019.
The director Susant Misra has created poetry on screen. It is not a bombastic story. It does not beat its chest with how clever it is, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a universal story about how all of us, in our own, stumbling way, try to find purpose in our lives.
This film has been made with so much love and hard work. All the actors have done a tremendous job to make this film a big success on screen. Please watch it and keep following and supporting us so that we can bring more intriguing films for you!
