Some films attract us by the title. Yashasvi Juyal’s short documentary, set in Himalyan
village, Rains Don’t Make Us Happy Anymore will be hosting its World Premiere at the
prestigious 56th Visions du Réel International Film Festival, 2025. It is an unusual film
because the film comments on the mindless development of hydroelectric projects and dams
in the Himalayas.
Another debut feature worth mentioning is Juyal’s debut feature Ink-Stained Hand & The
Missing Thumb the story of a migrant worker selected in Hong Kong International Film
Festival’s Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF) 2025. Juyal won the Gender Sensitivity Award
for his first short The Last Rhododendron at Dharamshala International Film Festival
