Because of that, I thought I should do a serious film, which is how ‘Digant’ came about. I’ve made a lot of films for Manfa Productions. You may have heard of ‘Kantneantle Full’ which was made by me.
I have made a lot of Konkani films and documentaries. Was the story written by you? The story is by Prasad Lolienkar but the screenplay and dialogues are written by me. A lot of people helped, so we could manage in the small budget. We shot the film on the Goa border with Maharashtra in Bicholim because it’s about the Dhangar community who have their houses there. So it’s Goan and we’re very proud of that. Only some post-production was done in Mumbai, like colour correction, Dolby. It is 90% made in Goa with Goan actors, technicians, and others.

Who has produced the movie ‘Digant’? The film has been produced by Sanjay Shetye of Vinson Graphics. But we couldn’t send to other Indian festivals because we were late. We had also sent the film to the Berlin festival, but it was not selected. Besides which they give Rs 5 lakh if your film is shown at Indian film festivals, as our film was shown at Iffi forum and MAMI, we got 10 lakh. Did you finance it yourself? No, we made this film under the finance scheme of the Entertainment Society of Goa. To be honest, we did not expect our film to be selected as the official entry, so we’re very proud. This is our first major film made with a humble budget of 40 lakh. But we know our technical limitations, and we know the standard of ‘Digant’, so we’re not expecting a miracle. We’re very happy and extremely proud that the DFFI has sent ‘Digant’ to France for participation to Cannes. We came to know through the Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF) of India in Delhi. Is Digant in the competition section? I really don’t know for sure, but I think it’s in the competition section. STOI met the film’s director Dnyanesh Moghe to find out more. PANAJI: ‘ Digant ’ (Boundless), a Goan Konkani movie, has been shortlisted as one of the official Indian entries to the prestigious Cannes film festival in France later this summer.
