Kolkata, Apr 29 (IBNS) Moumita Mondal, a Kolkata based filmmaker , is set to fly down to Cannes for the screening of her second short film Adieu.

Moumita, also known as MouMo, had earlier showcased her first short film 'Fruit of Thy Labour' at the prestigious film festival last year on May 20.

The 69th edition will take place from May 11th-22.

Her film will be screened on May 19.

Produced by Orange Corp, Adieu is a 12 mins short film starring Pradip Mukherjee, famous for his roles as the protagonist in a number of Satyajit Ray films, including 'Pratidwandi' and 'Jana Aranye'.

 The film’s music has been composed by the renowned music composer, Raja Narayan Deb, who has composed music for a number of Bengali and Hindi films, including several films by Rituparno Ghosh. Souvik Basu has done the cinematography and art direction is by Tapas Sarkar.

 Speaking about the film, Moumita says, "The story revolves around a hospital ward and its patients, dealing with the friendships developed between complete strangers, who are admitted to a hospital and end up sharing the same ward. They battle for their lives together and in the process form a deep bond that cannot be defined by logic."

 The production company has also roped in the director and will be producing her first Hindi feature film. The movie is set to go on the floor by the end of this year.
