Rauniyar’s feature film debut Highway (2012) premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and was the first Nepali film ever to screen at a major international festival. It provoked a tumultuous response in Nepal with its realistic characters and their taboo-shrouded issues. The film opened the ContemporAsian series at MOMA in New York and received a run to enthusiastic crowds. White Sun is Deepak’s second feature.
