Rape. The topic is never easy to talk about, is stubbornly topical, and infuriatingly Indian. So it is appropriate, perhaps, that an Indian silent film “White” will be offered to buyers next week at the Cannes Film Market, an adjunct of the Cannes Film Festival.
“White” comprises three tales of survival; the narrative of a factory girl abused at work; an unwanted child’s return home after being brought up in an orphanage; and a husband’s acceptance of a child born from the rape of his wife by another man. It stars Kaushik Roy, and Arjaa Banerjee.
The film is directed by Aneek Chaudhury, whose previous directing effort “The Wife’s Letter” was a 2016 amalgamation of Salvador Dali’s artform and a short story by India’s Rabindranath Tragore. Production is by Laartiste productions and international sales by U.S.-based Adler & Associates Entertainment.
