I am very glad that the 48 th International Film Festival of India (IFFI, 2017) is being organized from 20th

Being one of the strongest mediums of mass communication, cinema can have tremendous impact on
society. It reflects on the ideological, cultural, socio-political and economic structures of a society, while
enthralling audiences with their individual narratives.
For the past four decades of its existence, IFFI has relentlessly been trying to treat its participants by
showcasing films from around the world that shed light on the socio-cultural structures and dynamics

I take immense pleasure in welcoming all of you to this grand event and I extend my heartiest

MESSAGE
I am delighted that the 48th International Film Festival is going to commence in our strikingly beautiful
and picturesque state of Goa, on 20th November, 2017 and will continue till 28th November, 2017.
For the past 13 years, my state has been hosting the Festival. Our state has always been a favorite
film location for Indian and international filmmakers. Since 2004, when IFFI was permanently moved to
Goa, the Konkani / Goan film industry has seen remarkable growth in the quality and quantity of films
produced, as IFFI has successfully implanted a taste for good cinema among our people. For them,
cinema is no longer just a means of entertainment, but also a source to enhance their awareness and
perspectives.
Not only does IFFI provide lovers of cinema an opportunity to indulge into a cinematic fiesta for 9
eventful days, it also provides them the opportunity to explore the rich culture, food, art and architecture
of Goa. The special events organized by the Entertainment Society of Goa during the festival add
colour to the festival.
I take this opportunity to welcome all cinema lovers from around the country and the world to join us in
celebrating one of the largest carnivals of cinema. I wish the Festival all the success.

FESTIVAL DIRECTOR
48 TH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL OF INDIA
MESSAGE
Over the years, the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) has created a firm place for itself in the
global Film Festival calendar. Organised under the aegis of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting,
Government of India, IFFI has become one of the most important Film Festivals in the Asian region.
In this 48th edition of the Festival, we are delighted to be presenting a strong International and Indian
film programme.
This year, IFFI 2017 is proud to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to the prolific filmmaker, writer
and director, Mr. Atom Egoyan, whose works have been viewed and loved the world over. IFFI is also
elated to honour the legendary actor, Shri Amitabh Bachchan with the Indian Film Personality of the
Year Award for his tremendous contribution to Indian and global cinema.
The Festival is also delighted to open this year’s edition with renowned filmmaker Majid Majidi’s ‘Beyond
The Clouds’ and close with the well-regarded filmmaker, Pablo César’s ‘Thinking of Him’. An Iranian
Master makes his first film outside his own country and chooses to do so in India. An Argentinian
director chooses to link his country with India through a bond between major literary figures of the two
countries. Both the films reflect true Indo-international collaborations and the Make in India outlook:
filmmakers from opposite ends of the earth coming to India, not only as an extraordinary location but
also as an inspiring subject. What better way could there be of book-ending this truly International Film
Festival, that is also truly Indian at heart?
The Country Focus on Canada has been taken forward in association with Telefilm Canada and with
collaboration from the Toronto International Film Festival. We also have a selection of films from the
“Biennale College” of the Venice International Film Festival.
We are confident that all of you will enjoy the carefully curated programme of the best of international
and Indian films, many of which are being presented in the country for the first time, including some
cinematic landmarks in the Restored Classics.
Additionally, the Panel Discussions and Master Classes with industry and thought leaders form one of
the core pillars of this year’s Festival.
We also urge all of you to experience the Mixed Reality Sidebar which includes a special VR package
put together for you, in addition to the various other new initiatives in this edition, aimed at “Celebrating
the Future of Cinema”.
On behalf of the entire team of IFFI 2017, I wish you all a great Festival experience.
(Sunit Tandon)

Atom Egoyan is one of Canada’s most celebrated arthouse
directors. Exotica, which won the FIPRESCI Prize at
Cannes’94, was his international breakthrough film. The
Sweet Hereafter, his most critically acclaimed film, received
two Academy Award nominations. Ararat, about the Armenian
genocide in the Turkish Ottoman Empire, centred on child
survivor Arshile Gorky, who went on to become the pioneer
of American abstract expressionism. Where the Truth Lies,
Adoration and The Captive have all competed for the Palme
d’Or in Cannes. Egoyan has also directed theatre and opera,
including an adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s Eh Joe, winner of
The Irish Times/ESB Award for Best Direction. He has directed
award-winning opera productions for the Canadian Opera
Company and the Lincoln Center Festival, New York. Egoyan’s
art installations have been presented at the Venice Biennale.
His work, Steenbeckett, commissioned by the UK’s Artangel,
is part of the permanent collection of the Tate. His films have
been presented in several retrospectives across the globe, with
complete career overviews in Paris, Madrid, New York and
Brussels. Egoyan was knighted by the French government and
is a Companion of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest
honour.

ICFT-UNESCO
Gandhi Medal
The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2017 in collaboration with the International Council
for Film, Television and Audiovisual Communication (ICFT), Paris, will present a special ICFT prize
consisting of the UNESCO Gandhi Medal awarded to a film which reflects the ideals promoted by
UNESCO.
Broad guidelines for the selection of the films
• Have a strong ethical component
• High aesthetic value
• Exhibit artistic excellence in screenplay, in film technique and music
• Attract a wide audience, especially among youth, whose view of media is distorted by violent
imagery and showy techniques which are devoid of intelligent and critical discernment
• Additionally include an educational component to cope with the flood of inappropriate
imagery commonly marketed
• Awareness of the role of the filmmaker confronting a declining society; because it is
recognized that cinematographic and video images are much more powerful than any other
means of communication
About the UNESCO Gandhi Medal
In 1994, UNESCO issued a commemorative medal marking the 125th anniversary of the birth of
Mahatma Gandhi, India’s “Father of the Nation” and the world’s advocate of non-violence, peace
and tolerance. The General Conference of one of the previous years had adopted a resolution calling
for a series of activities around the “great world personality whose thought and creative modes of
non-violent action have shaped socio-economic and political currents in the 20th century”.
The medal bears a portrait of Gandhi engraved by the French artist Pierre-Yves Tŕemois. Etched
underneath is the Mahatma’s message of hope: “In the midst of darkness light prevails”. The
reverse side carries the UNESCO Logo.

Beyond The Clouds is a story of a brother
and sister like Children of Heaven, with
the difference being that the siblings are
grown-ups and tackle greater conflicts
against the backdrop of the bustling
city of Mumbai. The film is a vindication
of Majid Majid’s firm view that human
emotions have no barriers of language
and geography.
The paths of two siblings collide, when
on the run from the cops after a drug
bust, Amir a 19 year old peddler from
Mumbai finds solitude in his past - his
estranged sister Tara, who in a bid
to protect her brother lands up in jail
herself. However, this catastrophic
incident turns into a serendipitous one
for Tara and Aamir, whose entire lives
have been clouded by despair and
disappointment, as unexpectedly the
light shines on them, from beyond the
clouds. The film highlights beautifully the
many facets of India intertwined with a
heartfelt celebration of love and family !
Academy Award nominee, Majid Majidi, for the first time, sets a film in India and tells a story with universal
resonance in an extention of a creative credo that defines his career.

Two stories intertwine over time. In the
present, Felix, who teaches Geography
in a detention centre, stumbles upon
a book that dazzles him. In the past,
Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and
author of the book that has come to Felix,
arrives in Argentina and is hosted by
writer Victoria Ocampo. A deep, platonic
bond develops between the two cultural
figures and Victoria becomes Tagore’s
distant muse. While Felix is increasingly
obsessed with the story of the Indian poet
and the Argentinian writer, he gains an
insight into the intellectual and spiritual
notions on which Tagore’s revolutionary
school in India was founded. Felix
decides to visit India and experience
for himself the teaching methods that
Tagore dreamed of for all mankind.

from panic attacks. Toma follows her to
every dark corner she ends up in, he
fights his parents when they reject her,
he accepts being a father and marries
her, he becomes her babysitter, her
driver, her everything. Toma appears to
be in control of the couple’s relationship,
when in fact he just gravitates around a
woman he cannot understand, pushing
his endurance to the limit, trying to save
her. When Ana overcomes her fears and
becomes adapted to the outside world,
Toma remains alone, trying to put the
pieces of the puzzle together, striving
to understand the whirlwind that he has
gone through.

In Paris in the early 1990s, a group
of activists goes to battle for those
stricken with HIV/AIDS, taking on
sluggish government agencies and
major pharmaceutical companies in
bold, invasive actions. The organisation
is ACT UP, and its members, many of
them gay and HIV-positive, embrace
their mission with a literal life-or-death
urgency. Amid rallies, protests, fierce
debates and ecstatic dance parties,
the newcomer Nathan falls in love with
Sean, the group’s radical firebrand, and
their passion sparks against the shadow
of mortality as the activists fight for a
breakthrough.

A woman leaves her husband and
children without saying goodbye. While
she struggles to build a new life, her family
is left completely uncertain about her
fate. The radical nature of her departure
appears to be an opportunity as well as
a trauma. The film is structured in three
episodes, each showing a different
perspective of the subject. The first one
accompanies the woman in Vienna and
Bratislava creating a new life for herself.
Although her past remains untold, she
seems driven by it. The second episode
portrays the life of her abandoned
husband and their children two years
after her disappearance. Their days
are still dominated by her mysterious
leaving. The final episode returns to the
last evening of the family.

Pickle is a night security guard at a
bronze statue factory. His colleague,
Belly Bottom, works as a recycling
collector during the day, and Pickle’s
biggest pleasure in life is flicking through
the porn magazines Belly Bottom collects
in the small hours in the security room.
Having late night snacks and watching
television are an integral part of their
dull lives. One day when the television
is broken, their lives are changed
forever. The story involves gods, the
middle-aged men’s sexual desire and
the conversation between ghosts and
humans. May be the audience will find it
preposterous, but isn’t life itself a farce?

simple life along with his wife and sole
child, somewhere in a remote village
in Northern Iran. A private company
with close links to the government and
local authorities, has taken control of
nearly every aspect of the regional life.
Its shareholders, accumulating wealth,
power and economic rents, have been
pushing local farmers and small owners
to dilapidate their belongings, farms and
estates, to the benefit of the Company’s
influential network. It is under their
pressure that many villagers have
themselves become local rings of the
larger network of corruption. Meanwhile,
Reza strives to resist coercion and
preserve his farm.

Nominated for the Award for the Best Debut Feature of a Director
✪ INDIA PREMIERE
In Quebec, Mexico and Asia, three
sensitive souls heed the call of the
images and melodies that haunt their
days and nights. Moved at once by loss,
yearning and longing, Eliane, Romes
and his father Pablo decide to take
action before it is too late. Whatever the
risks, they must let their dreams take
flight. Implicitly trusting that inner voice
dwelling inside us all, the film beckons us
on a sensory journey where travel, art,
dream, and memory serve as mileposts.
It blurs the boundary that separates night
from day; poetry blooms where these
two worlds intersect. As it attentively
follows the three characters’ quests, the
film directs our gaze to the magic that
seeps from the cracks in daily life.

hastily marries her colleague Shahid and
moves to Iraq where much to her chagrin

looms large.

until, at the age of twenty-four, Sathnam
made a discovery that changed
everything he ever thought he knew
about them. He embarks on a journey
into their extraordinary past - from his
father’s harsh life in rural Punjab to the
steps of the Wolverhampton Tourist

Havana, 1994. With embargo at its
peak, the Cold War comes to an end and
the Soviet Union disintegrates. But for
Candelaria (75), and Victor Hugo (76)
life continues at a slow pace. The days
are repetitive, conversations are sparse,
dinners are sad. One day, the monotony
is broken when Candelaria finds a video
camera hidden in the dirty sheets of the
hotel where she works. This camera,
subtly sneaks into their lives as the
couple use it to film themselves. This
spark of recovered love helps them
forget that one of them is sick.

Giulio, a 17-year old from a well-to-do
family, is sent to a boarding school in an
isolated place in the Alps. Where ironclad
rules limit all contact with the outside,
he makes friends with Edoardo, who is
rather odd. Their friendship is sealed
by frequent escapes at night, when the
surveillance of the students seems to
lapse. They begin to frequent a nightclub
hidden in the forest, which becomes
a refuge for the two young men. This
is where they meet Elena, a prostitute,
and become fond of her. Suddenly, they
discover that the transgressions they
have kept hidden are actually part of
the school’s educational programme.
And yet there must be a way for them to
become truly free.

a couple of young lovers run into a
serious problem, and they have just a few
hours to come up with a solution. They
go from hospital to hospital in search of
help, but none of the hospitals will admit
the young woman to provide her with
the medical attention she desperately
requires. While they try hard to find a way
to solve the problem, they have to hide
what is happening from their parents.
Moreover, their relationship is facing a

Based on the story of undefeated
two-time World Boxing Champion
Edwin Valero, El Inca is a powerhouse
biographical drama about talent and
charisma, love and ambition, excess
and self-destruction. He set a world
record by winning his first 18 fights with
a first-round knockout. But as Valero’s
professional life bloomed, his personal
life began to stagger, with insecurities
leading to marital infidelities and perilous
addiction, aspects of Valero’s life that
still spark controversy. El Inca tells of
an exhilarating rise, a tragic fall, and the
riveting displays of athletic mastery in
between.

✪ INDIA PREMIERE
Euthanizer is a violent summer noir.
It tells the story of Veijo Haukka, a
50-year-old mechanic, whose second
job is to put sick pets to sleep. But
what happens when he decides to save
the wrong person’s dog? The themes
revolve around animal rights, suffering
and death. But the real story is not about
good or evil, it’s about the stupidity of
absolute men.

After her middle-aged boyfriend passes
away, Maria, a young transgender
woman, is treated with suspicion. The
doctors and Orlando’s family don’t trust
her. A woman detective investigates
Marina to see if she was involved in
his death. For most of Orlando’s family,
her sexual identity is an aberration, a
perversion. She battles the very same
forces that she has spent a lifetime
fighting just to become the woman she
is now - a complex, strong, forthright and
fantastic woman.

Paris, 1964. Alberto Giacometti, the
famous artist, bumps into his old friend,
the American critic James Lord, and
begs that he sits for a portrait because
he has an interesting face. It’ll just take
a couple of days in his studio. Lord is
flattered by the request and as the days
go by and turn into weeks seemingly with
no end in sight, he realises his entire life
has been hijacked by this erratic genius.
The portrait continues to ebb and flow.
Veering between frustration and joy, Lord
ultimately sees logic in the artist’s chaotic
mind and together we witness a genius
complete one of his last masterpieces.

A woman lives alone on the outskirts of a
village in Russia. One day she receives
a parcel she sent to her incarcerated
husband, marked ‘return to sender’.
Shocked and confused, the woman has
no choice but to travel to the prison in
a remote region of the country in search
of an explanation. Thus begins the story
of a battle against this impenetrable
fortress, the prison where the forces of
social evil are constantly at work. Braving
violence and humiliation, in the face of all
opposition, our protagonist embarks on a
blind quest for justice.

His three children have gathered by
his side for his last days: Angela, an
actress living in Paris; Joseph, who has
just fallen in love with a girl half his age;
and Armand, the only one who stayed
behind in Marseille to run the family’s
small restaurant. It’s time for them to
weigh up what they have inherited of
their father’s ideals and the community
spirit he created in this magical place.
The arrival, at a nearby cove, of a group

Trapped inside her house in a city under
siege, Oum Yazan, mother of three,
turns her flat into a safe harbour for her
family and neighbours, trying to protect
them from the war outside. When bombs
threaten to destroy the building, when
snipers turn the courtyards into deadly
zones, and burglars break in to claim
their dreadful bounties, maintaining the
thin balance of routine inside the walls
becomes a matter of life and death.

Sara enters Baghdad station with sinister
intentions for its reopening ceremony. As
she braces to commit an unthinkable
act, her plans are drastically altered by
an unwanted and awkward encounter
with Salam, a self-assured and flirtatious
salesman. With Salam now hostage
to Sara’s confused and deluded plan,
he battles desperately to appeal to her
humanity and sway her decision. In a
moment of consideration and with her
convictions crumbling before her, Sara
is given the opportunity to witness the
life and innocence she was so willing to
destroy. But is this a second chance or
an admission of guilt?

Alevtina Romanova is a penal officer in
a women’s prison colony. Her image of a
stern officer is betrayed only by her voice
– a kind of voice to be envied by opera
stars. She has been embarrassed of her
gift since she was a child and now sings
only when she stays alone, to herself.
Her secret is revealed – an inmate
records a video with her cell phone and
uploads it on the internet. The video is
a hit, and Alevtina is invited to Moscow
to the country’s most popular song
contest. The woman is eager not to miss
her chance, and, finally, to change her
life. But she is totally unprepared for the
competition. The only person who can
help her rehearse is the inmate – who is
a former singer.

therapy, it’s hard to expect absolute
harmony. This brilliantly directed drama,
about the ability to forgive others only
after we have forgiven ourselves,
presents the pinnacle of the Balkan male
acting scene.

Hasan finds himself in a midlife crisis,
questioning whether marriage and career

eventually divorces wife Maya and is
estranged from daughter Saberi and son
Ahir. Javed and Nitu marry, but it’s no bed

Gathering in the parched concrete
wasteland of Athens’ crumbling Olympic
village, a group of teenagers engages
daily in boisterous horseplay. The eldest
of them, doe-eyed Anna and the timid
Dimitri begin courting and soon become
a couple. Coming alive in each other’s
company, they explore the attractions
of a seaside tourist resort with gleeful
curiosity and juvenile excitement. Yet
with the passing of time, their relationship
goes from summery bliss to autumnal
anguish, and the impact of the social
body on the individual is keenly, painfully
felt.

✪ INDIA PREMIERE
The beginning of 1945, Upper Silesia,
Poland. The last days of WW2. In the just
liberated areas, the Communist Security
Service eliminates its enemies under the
pretext of punishing national traitors. It
organises a labour camp for Germans,
Silesians and Poles, at the site of a
former Nazi concentration camp, which
is named Zgoda/Reconciliation. Franek,
who is in love with a Polish prisoner
Anna, joins the camp crew to rescue her.
He doesn’t know that one of the inmates
is Erwin, his German friend, who, like
himself, has also loved Anna for a long
time. Franek joins Communists in the
illusory hope of outsmarting the system.

Paris 1967. Jean-Luc Godard, the most
renowned filmmaker of his generation,
is shooting La Chinoise with the woman
he loves, Anne Wiazemsky, 20 years his
junior. Happy, in love, magnetic, they
marry. But the film’s reception unleashes
a profound self-examination in Jean-Luc.
The events of May 1968 will amplify this
process, and the crisis that shakes Jean-
Luc will change him profoundly, from
star director to Maoist artist outsider, as
misunderstood as he is impossible to
understand.

17-year-old Asher has always been the
impulsive troublemaker, from primary
school, all through junior high and high
school. It’s hard for him to concentrate
in class, and he is compelled by a lot
of rage and violence; yet he is also
endowed with a considerable amount of
charm and street wisdom. While his strict
father sees him as a natural successor to
the family’s scaffolding business, Asher
finds a different masculine role model in
his gentle literature teacher Rami and
forges a special connection with him.
Torn between the two worlds, Asher
looks for a chance for a new life and
new identity. When a sudden tragedy
occurs, he has to take the ultimate test
of maturity.

miraculously improves, but Vele is
suddenly confronted by their neighbours
who demand the recipe for the “remedial”
cake and by the criminals who want their
drugs back. The greatest challenge,
however, is to persuade his father that

A safe house. A shelter. No one saw
what was coming, no one knew that this
supposedly quiet fortnight would turn into
an abyss and that shelter would need to
be found elsewhere. The intimacy of the
relationship that develops between the
two women is exposed to the threat of
terror that is engulfing the world today.

Malena is a successful doctor about to hit
middle-age. She receives a call that will
change her life: the baby she adopted is
about to be born. She goes to retrieve
him from his surrogate mother only to
find herself blackmailed by the newborn’s
biological parents: either Malena pays
more money or they’ll put the baby in an
orphanage. And the law is on their side.
Malena takes up the challenge and sets
out on an uncertain journey plagued by
moral and legal dilemmas to see how far
she is willing to go to get what she wants
most.

Duszejko, an eccentric retired
construction engineer, an astrologist and
a vegetarian, lives in a small mountain
village on the Czech-Polish border. One
day her beloved dogs disappear. A few
months later she discovers a dead body
of her neighbour, a poacher. The only
traces leading to the mysterious death
are those of roe deer hooves around
the house. As time goes by, more grisly
killings are discovered. The victims, all
hunters, belonged to the local elite. The
police investigation proves ineffective.
Duszejko has her own theory: all murders
were committed by wild animals.

Christian is the respected curator of a
contemporary art museum, a divorced
but devoted father of two who drives
an electric car and supports good
causes. His next show is The Square,
an installation which invites passersby
to altruism, reminding them of their role
as responsible fellow human beings. But
sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your
own ideals: Christian’s foolish response
to the theft of his phone drags him into
shameful situations. Meanwhile, the
museum’s PR agency has created an
unexpected campaign for The Square.
The response is overblown and sends
Christian, as well as the museum, into
an existential crisis.

In the summer of 1993, following the
death of her parents, six-year-old Frida
moves from Barcelona to the Catalan
province to live with her aunt and uncle,
who are now her new legal guardians.
The country life is a challenge for Frida –
time passes differently in her new home
and the nature that surrounds her is
mysterious and estranging. She now has
a little sister whom she has to take care
of and has to deal with new feelings,
such as jealousy. Often, Frida is naively
convinced that running away would be
the best solution to her problems. Yet,
the family does what it can to achieve a
fragile new balance and bring normality
to their life.

A group of German workers sets off
to a construction site in the border
region between Bulgaria and Greece.
This foreign land and its breathtaking
landscape awaken the men’s sense of
adventure, but they are also confronted
with their own prejudice and mistrust
due to the language barrier and cultural
differences. The stage is quickly set for
a showdown when the men begin to
compete for recognition and favour from
the local villagers.

Karl Marx, aged 26, embarks with his
wife Jenny on the road to exile. In 1844
Paris, he meets Friedrich Engels, an
industrialist’s son, who investigated the
birth of the British working-class. Engels,
the dandy, provides the last piece of the
puzzle to the young Karl Marx’s new
vision of the world. Together, between
censorship and the police’s repression,
riots and political upheavals, they will
lead the labour movement during its
development into a modern era.

Plagued by the abuse of her past and
the turmoil of failed intimate encounters,
Laura struggles to find a lover and a
sense of normalcy. Her beacon of hope
comes in 16-year-old Eva, a talented
pianist disillusioned by the life her
mother imposes upon her. An unlikely
relationship is formed between the two
and Eva becomes an obsession to
Laura. In light of Eva’s unhappiness,
Laura convinces her to run away to her
house and they soon find themselves
caught within an intense entanglement.
Manipulation, denial and co-dependency
fuel what ultimately becomes a fractured
dynamic that can only sustain itself for
so long.

A love story through the eye of a spider
drone. Across the landscape of a North
African desert and an oil pipeline,
appears a strange spider-like robot that
seems to be scoping the horizon. At
the other end of the world, in America,
Gordon, drone operator and safe keeper
of the pipeline, surveys the desolated
landscapes from his screens. Having
lost his way in a world he no longer
comprehends, he becomes fascinated
by Ayusha, a young woman promised to
an older man she doesn’t love. Despite
the distance, their mutual fear and their
imperfect interaction, Gordon will do
everything in his power to help Ayusha
escape her fate, falling for her in the
process.

USSR, Late November, 1941. Based
on the account by reporter Vasiliy
Koroteev that appeared in the Red
Army’s newspaper, Krasnaya Zvezda,
shortly after the battle, this is the story of
Panifilov’s 28, soldiers of the Red Army’s
316th Rifle Division, under the command
of General Ivan Panfilov, that stopped
the advance on Moscow of a column
of 54 Nazi tanks of the 11th Panzer
Division for several days. Though armed
only with standard issue Mosin-Nagant
infantry rifles and DP and PM-M1910
machine guns, all useless against tanks,
and with wholly inadequate RPG-40 antitank
grenades and PTRD-41 anti-tank
rifles, they fought defiantly.

The Second Mother centres on Val, a
hard-working live-in housekeeper in
modern day Sao Paulo. Val is perfectly
content to take care of every one of her
wealthy employers’ needs, from cooking
and cleaning to being a surrogate mother
to their teenage son, who she has raised
since he was a toddler. But when Val’s
estranged daughter Jessica suddenly
shows up, the unspoken but intrinsic
class barriers that exist within the home
are thrown into disarray. Jessica is smart,
confident, and ambitious, and refuses to
accept the upstairs/downstairs dynamic,
testing relationships and loyalties and
forcing everyone to reconsider what
family really means.

Adapted from Annie Baby’s novel Qiyue
and Ansheng, Soulmate centres on a
love-triangle between two women and
one man. Due to a twist of fate, two
high school best friends fall in love with
the same man, planting the seeds of
tragedy. The story chronicles the coming
of age journey of two very different young
women, who choose different paths in
life. July and Ansen are flip sides of the
same coin; one is calm like water and
the other is passionate like fire. Although
they endure the rites of passage
together, from youth to adulthood, their
friendship may only persist in the form of
a long goodbye, until they part forever.

In this film, ‘Her’ refers to both Paris,
the character of Juliette Janson and
the actress playing her, Marina Vlady.
The film is a dramatised documentary,
illustrating and exaggerating the
emotionless lives of characters in
the new Paris of the 1960s, where
commercialism mocks families getting
by on small incomes, where prostitution
is a money-spinning option, and people
are coldly resigned and immune to the
human nightmares of Vietnam, and the
impending Atomic war.

Jean-Luc Godard, was a film director, screenwriter
and film critic. He is often identified with the French
New Wave. Godard revolutionized the motion picture
form, freeing the medium from the shackles of its longaccepted
cinematic language by rewriting the rules of
narrative, continuity, sound, and camera work in an effort
to subvert the conventions of the Hollywood formula.

Brave New Worlds: VR Meets
Fiction
Jerome Blanquet’s explorations of the image and

technology, he continually interrogates the limits
of his tools and his knowledge. It diverts from the
established forms, in search of interstices, to the
kinds of open areas where can find meaning

Biennale College 2017 Venezia
This year, for the very first time the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) brings to you films of
the oldest film festival of the World, Venice International Film Festival.
The films of ”BIENNALE COLLEGE 2017 VENEZIA” segment of the Venice International Film
Festival will be screened in this 48th edition of International Film Festival of India, 2017.
Biennale College is the project of La Biennale di Venezia which is dedicated to the formation of
young people in the artistic field and in the activities of the organizational structure of the Biennale.
Thus, Biennale College of Cinema was formed to inspire and promote the young budding film
maker.
This year, four films from La Biennale di Venezia would be screened, namely, Beautiful Things
directed by Giorgio Ferroro (Italy), where the director gives us a sneak peak of the men who
are monks in temples of steel and concrete carrying out their mechanical rituals in silence and
solitude, Martyr directed by Mazen Khaled (Lebanon) gives us the exploration of the journey of life
and death of a man who drowns and becomes a Martyr in Islamic religion and Strange Colours
directed by Alina Lodkina (Australia), a story about a father and a daughter mending a fractured
bond. The fourth film from this package is an Indian film Mukti Bhawan directed by Shubhashish
Bhutiani, showcasing another father-son relationship where the father has a desire to go and die
in the holy city of Varanasi in India and the son is left with no choice.
The young aspiring film makers of India would be both inspired and motivated by seeing films of
BIENNALE COLLEGE 2017 VENEZIA 74 in International Film Festival of India this year.
It is only when film festivals collaborate, cinema as an art form is celebrated in the world.

Anand Gandhi
Anand Gandhi is a filmmaker and entrepreneur deeply
interested in philosophy, evolutionary psychology, innovation
and the future. Ship of Theseus, his first feature, premiered
at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2012 and has
since been recognized as “the most significant film to come
out of India in decades” by critics and audiences alike. It has
won prizes at the international film festivals of London, Dubai,
Mumbai, Transilvannia, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, and played
at Rotterdam, Munich and Sydney, among others. It was
presented the National Award in 2014. In November 2015,
Anand founded Memesys Culture Lab. It is a cinema and new
media studio at the intersection of science, philosophy and
culture, and home to ElseVR, the first Virtual Reality studio in
India.
Gandhi’s writing career began in 2000. He wrote the dialogue
for the first 82 episodes of a popular show called Kyunki Saas
Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, for which he
wrote the screenplay, are the longest running TV shows in the
history of Indian television.
He moved away from his television career to write and
direct critically acclaimed plays like Sugandhi, Pratyancha,
Kshanotsav, Na and Janashtaru. Almost all his work has
been produced for the alternative one-act theatre. He has
written only one mainstream play, Chal Reverse Ma Jaiye, in
Gujarati. It achieved moderate commercial success and won
the Transmedia Best Play award for 2005.
His film directorial debut, Right Here, Right Now (2003), a
30-minute film that deals with the idea of cyclic causality,
achieved substantial critical acclaim. His second film Continuum
(2006) was co-directed with Khushboo Ranka.
