The UK and Europe’s largest South Asian film festival includes previews of international festival hit movies alongside the ever-popular shorts programmes. Several screenings are followed by live filmmaker Q&As.
The London Indian Film Festival and Birmingham Indian Film Festival in the U.K. have joined forces to offer a captivating cinematic experience across two cities. This collaboration will showcase a diverse collection of feature films and short films.
This year’s festival is kicking off with “The Storyteller.by Ananth Mahadevan, “The Storyteller” sees Adil Hussain play a Gujarati businessman who believes that once physical wealth is accumulated, happiness will follow, but this proves not to be the case. Paresh Rawal plays the titular storyteller. The film is based on a story by the late, great Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray and contrasts the pursuit of material wealth with that of intellectual knowledge. Hussain, co-star Tannishtha Chatterjee and Mahadevan are expected to be on hand for Q&A sessions on June 22 at BFI Southbank and on June 23 at MAC Birmingham.” Visit us at.
