EXCLUSIVE: Global Constellation has released a first look at Shalini Adnani’s BFI- and Film4-backed debut feature Our Share Of Sand.

It will participate in the BFI and British Council’s online Great 8 showcase of features from early-career UK filmmakers ahead of Cannes. 

Maya Mehta, Ellora Torchia and Zeeshan Ayyub star in the film about 12-year-old Maya, who returns to rural India to reconnect with her estranged father. 

Adnani was named a Screen UK-Ireland Star of Tomorrow last year, as was Torchia in 2021.
