The press conference of Mon Potongo (মন পতঙ্গ – Mindflies) was organized at 29^th KIFF. The film is directed by ‘Kalkokkho’ (House of Time) famed director duo Rajdeep Paul & Sarmistha Maiti.

Director duo Rajdeep Paul, Sarmistha Maiti, film producer Anjan Bose, and others graced the press conference.

Mindflies deal with life and its vibrant features, emphasizing life above all else. Mon Potongo (Mindflies) is a tribute to the irrational, unfettered, and persistent flight of desire. It is a story of soaring passion that, according to the confines of your social identity, you are not even permitted to conceive of, which you nonetheless dare to pursue.

The movie celebrates the maniacal, destructive, yet freeing passion. It is about taking to the air, passing away, and resurrecting like a Phoenix.

The film is about an inter-faith couple who are in love with each other. They run away from their village as they fear persecution. Hence they take shelter on the city streets. They get accustomed to the harsh realities of life on the streets. The ambitious duo does not want to be crushed on the roads of the city.

National award-winning actor Seema Biswas, Joy Sengupta, debutants Subhankar Mohanta & Baishakhi Roy, Amit Saha, Tannistha Biswas, Janardan Ghosh, Tribikram Ghosh, Anindita Ghosh, Anindo Roy, and others will be seen in pivotal roles in the film.

Many of the cast also include real-life street kids and pavement dwellers.

The film was screened at the 29^th KIFF.
