Comments :

I don't thing this festival is much publicized, but the films look promising. Hotel Rwanda is a film I've heard a lot about. Also I haen't ever watched a Mani Rathnam in Tamil. So really want to watch Kannathil Muthumittal. So if you're in town, or don't have exams(like me), or don't have anything better to do, then this should be really good. I'll try an catch at least a couple of films.

Oh, and for more info you can call NFAI at : +91-20-2565 8253.

Cheers,

Hey - many thanks for the tipoff. Like you, have heard many things about H Rw. I don't know what KM is doing in a Euro film fest, but will be good to see it on a larger screen than my tv. I wholly recommend it - vintage MR movie, good music (ARR - national award). I should hopefully be around for runtime translation :-) Acc to me, it has the most realistic depiction of military warfare (only a few scenes though) in an Indian film, so good technical feast as usual.

BTW, it is Mutthamittal not Mutthumittal :-)

Was hoping for a recommendation from you for MR's film. Unfortunately will not be able to make it. WIll see you at H Rw.

As for Mutthumittal, that is how the brochure put's it.

(PS: Mitr is Revathy's much acclaimed film, should be good too.)

your link for samia points to a film called loin. I think it should be http://imdb.com/title/tt0258242/ (there are 2 Samias on imdb)
