'Hanuman.Com', first Bengali movie extensively shot in the icy terrain of Iceland, starring actor Prosenjit Chatterjee will have its international release at the Cannes.

"This film boasts of a mixed global cast, actors and crew from Berlin besides that of Bengal.

"This is not my first visit to the place. Earlier Ritu's (Rituparno Ghosh) 'Dosar' had also been screened at Cannes," Prosenjit told PTI on the sidelines of a film festival on his 30 films spanning over three decades of his career here.

"Nothing could be a more ideal platform than Cannes for screening 'Hanuman.Com' as the film has Iceland as background, German actor Claudia Mehnert as one important female lead and German foley sound designers recreating the soundscape," he said.
 

"I wish to make a presentation dwelling on the rich film making tradition of Bengal, as part of the 100th year of Indian film industry in the open forum during my two-day sojourn to the 66th edition of the festival and also catch up with Anurag (Kashyap) and watch his film," the 'Shanghaai' actor added.
