'Gods Buffalo' selection at 'Animal Fabula Film Festival'

 Nepal: The documentary 'Gods Buffalo' on buffaloes washed away by the floods in Melamchi has been selected for the Animal Fabula Film Festival. The documentary won the Best Documentary in 'Kimf' and the 'Best Isimod Mountain Film'.

The 14-minute long documentary was also selected at the Nepal International Film Festival (NIFF). 'Just a few days ago, I applied for this festival. I am very happy that the famous Animal Festival has also chosen my documentary, 'said director Bishnu Kalpit. Her documentary will be screened at the festival from November 25 to 27.

 Bishnu had taken this documentary when he went to Melamchi for reporting. When we reached Melamchi, the locals stopped our press vehicle. When I understood, I saw the rescuer asking for one lakh for the buffalo that was washed away in the flood. Homan Singh Shiva Bhakti, the owner of the same buffalo, was crying because he could not pay. Seeing that, I started shooting the same video. At that time, I did not even think of making a documentary. If I had thought of making a documentary, I would have shot it in a different way, 'says Kalpit.' Bhimsen Majhi was asking for one lakh.

 Homan Singh did not have much money. Another brother was trying to take the buffalo himself. I saw the twist in the story and shot the video. '

 Bishnu said that he made a documentary on the video after seeing the loss of human consciousness even during the disaster. Earlier, he had won the award in 2016 for his 'Sawari'.

Bishnu is known in the media as a camera person. He says that he has been filming for others for a long time but since he did not understand his contribution, he thinks that he should tell the story that he likes. 'I have arranged documentaries for many directors. I used to draw, I used to edit. But when he received the award, he did not even take the name. After enduring that kind of discrimination, I started making documentaries, 'he said.
