Siberian Husky's Inspiring Tale to Premiere at IFFI 2025

The 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), taking place in 2025, will showcase over 240 films from 81 countries, cementing its status as one of Asia's most prominent cultural platforms. As part of this prestigious event, the world premiere of the documentary 'Oslo: A Tail of Promise' is set to take place in Goa.

The film, presented and produced by actor and animal advocate John Abraham, is a non-linear exploration of the extraordinary bond between a Siberian husky named Oslo and Pooja R Bhale, the founder of the Protecterra Ecological Foundation. The story emphasizes the belief that animals have long guided humans, offering wisdom and solace, particularly in times of struggle.

Reflecting on the film, John Abraham stated, "Animals don't need us. We need them more -- for grounding, for healing, for the unconditional love they offer without ever asking for anything in return. 'Oslo: A Tail of Promise' is a tribute to that truth, and I am grateful that IFFI is giving this story the space it deserves."

The inclusion of 'Oslo: A Tail of Promise' in IFFI's prestigious Indian Panorama section, which selects 25 feature films and 20 non-feature films each year from over 300 entries across India, highlights the thematic relevance and emotional depth of the documentary. Directed by Isha Pungaliya, the film is a joint production of JA Entertainment, Protecterra Ecological Foundation, and Vaanar Nirmit, and its premiere at IFFI 2025 promises to bring attention to the profound connections between humans and animals.
