Assamese film "Xhoihobote Dhemalite" ("Rainbow Fields") today bagged three top awards at the 3rd Love International Film Festival here including best movie.
Besides the best film, it also won the awards for best actress (Dipannita Sharma) and best music (Anurag Saikia) at the festival, where more than 150 films from 36 countries participated.
The film, directed by Bidyut Kotoky, deals with the sensitive issue of children of Assam growing up in violent times and witnessing brutality around them.
Receiving the award, Kotoky said, "In 'Xhoihobote Dhemlite', we always believe that we are making a world cinema in Assamese language. Our emotions respect no geographical barriers - we don't need a language to laugh or to cry. Thank you Love International Film Festival for re-affirming our faith."
