Chauthi Koot (The Fourth Direction), a Punjabi film has been selected for the prestigious 'Un Certain Regard' section at the Cannes Film Festival. The film delves into the fears of a community following Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984, the unspeakable brutalities it unleashed and the resistance movement it spawned. The film is directed by Gurvinder Singh whose debut film, Annhey Ghorrey Da Daan (Alms for a Blind Horse), about the plight of farmers, bagged three National Awards and was the first Punjabi film to be show cased at the Venice Film Festival.

An Indo-French co-production between Sunil Doshi, Catherine Dussard, Kartikeya Narayan Singh and supported by the NFDC, the film is based on Warvan Singh Sandhu's collection of short stories of the same name. It has been shot in Amritsar and Ferozepur and does not feature any professional actors.

The film's score has been composed by French musician Marc Marder.
