MARKET
Ïewduh is based on the market by the same name, one of the liveliest markets of North East India. Probably everybody knows what a market looks like. They know how the lanes, the shops, the shopkeepers look like. But beyond the surface, these everyday people, the common faces, the unheroic stories also have their special moments. In every lane, there are new stories. In Ïewduh people from different communities and religions work and they co-exist. And today centuries later, Ïewduh stands tall and witnesses to a lot of history. With scars and colors and freshness and stench, this is the real world of Ïewduh, where fairy tales do happen.
Ïewduh the film is about everyday people, with everyday stories, not dignified as heroes, but nevertheless people who make the lives of each other better. In every lane of Ïewduh is an untold story. The struggle, the hope to give life not just to themselves, but also to those that they love, those that they care for. In Ïewduh when reason ends, relationships begin.

The recent achievement of being the conferred with the Kim Jiseok Award at 24th Busan International Film Festival 2019 for the film.
Iewduh is a film about relationships and human bonding that keeps the world going. Iewduh is not just an inanimate market in the narrative, but very much a part of the film. While filming we realized that the market was almost always busy and nothing was in our control. The people's movement, the closing, and the opening of shops were a challenge. However, we realized that it gave more color and character to our narrative and we took the situation in our stride. The people moving in the background to become a part of our story. The crew was also at the beck and call of nature, Shillong having dynamic weather; we never knew when it would rain and when it would be sunny. In spite of shooting in one of the busiest markets, the entire film is sync sound. Iewduh along with her story will also give a panoramic view of the market.
