Indian filmmaker Nidhi Saxena has wrapped production and unveiled a first look for “ Secrets of a Mountain Serpent,” her sophomore feature that will world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. “Secrets of a Mountain Serpent,” which completed principal photography in the mystical landscapes of Uttarakhand, India, explores the lives of women left behind in a remote hill town during the aftermath of war, drawing from an ancient local legend about a snake deity waiting for a promised bride.
