Bhutan in Focus: The Call of the Mountains at the Kolkata French Film Festival 2025

Last year, a French film, ”La Tresse” (The Braid), premiered for the Bhutanese people during the Bhutan Echoes Film Festival, as part of the Drukyul’s Literature and Arts Festival. On this occasion, Dr Thierry Mathou, Ambassador of France to India, announced his intention to foster film cooperation between France and Bhutan. To this end, two initiatives were conceived.
