Assamese dark comedy Moi Eti Nixhasor has been selected for screening at the Trujillo International Independent Film Festival in Peru, according to director Bidyut Kotoky in a Press Trust of India report published October 2, 2026. The report does not give a screening date, venue or ticket information, and the selection was not independently confirmed by a festival schedule in the sources available.
What is Moi Eti Nixhasor about?
The film follows Koduwa, a village thief navigating unrest and prejudice against Assam’s social and political landscape. It is described as a dark comedy. Director Kotoky framed the story’s moral question as: “By the time our story ends, the audience is confronted with a poignant question who is actually the real thief?”

What is known about the Peru screening?
Kotoky told PTI, “Our film Moi Eti Nixhasor is selected for screening at the upcoming Trujillo International Independent Film Festival in Peru. This is a proud moment for the entire crew.” The announcement establishes a reported selection, not practical screening details: no date, venue, ticketing information or viewing link was included. Readers should look for a festival schedule or official announcement for those details.
How does the Trujillo selection compare with the Cinejoy nomination?
The same PTI report says the film was nominated for Cinejoy Viewers Voice, a feature-film competition in San Jose, California. The report describes Cinejoy as an online, audience-driven competition, distinct from the in-person Trujillo festival screening. It does not provide comparable dates, access rules or prices for either event, so attendance or viewing arrangements cannot be assessed from the announcement.

Who made the film?
The lead role of Koduwa is played by theatre actor Gunomoni Baruah. PTI says the film is based on a true story written by senior journalist Anuradha Sharma Pujari and was produced by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) with Red River and Blue Hills.
The Indian Film Festival Stuttgart’s 2025 programme listed the film as Moi Eti Nixhasor – Koduwa the Nightbird, directed by Bidyut Kotoky, and included a screening on July 26, 2025. That programme says the story is based on characters from an Assamese short story and spells the author’s name “Anuradha Sarma Puzari.” PTI instead describes the film as based on a true story and uses “Anuradha Sharma Pujari”; the accounts differ in both description and spelling.
What is its official runtime and classification?
The Central Board of Film Certification’s 2024 list identifies Moi Eti Nixhasor (Koduwa – The Nightbird) as an Assamese theatrical feature certified on March 27, 2024. The CBFC record gives its duration as 111.4 minutes and names NFDC as the production house.
What awards has it received?
PTI reports that the film won “Best Dark Comedy” and “Best Editor” at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival 2026, and an “Award of Excellence Special Mention” at the Accolade Global Film Competition. The report also says it recently won three awards at the California-based IndieFEST Film Awards and Crown Point International Film Festival in Chicago, but does not specify how those three awards are divided or name them.
Can you watch it online or buy a ticket?
The available reports do not establish current streaming, rental or physical-media availability, or ticket availability for Trujillo. The Cinejoy nomination is described as an online competition, but the announcement supplies no access instructions or viewing link.
