IFFI: Award-winners from 20 nations http://www.mid-day.com/news/nation/2004/november/96570.htm
Noted producer Bobby Bedi's 'American Daylight' and animation movie 'The
Incredibles' feature among the films to be premiered at the 35th
international film festival of india (IFFI) beginning in Goa from november
29, and the mega event promises to provide a visual treat to the viewers and
cinema connoisseurs.
[Rest delete] =============================================== Folks,
There is considerable hype associated with IFFI…
The Incredibles was premiered in Hollywood on 24 Oct. 2004.
American Daylight was premiered at the London Film Festival on 21 Oct. 2004. I know because I was there. The screening was followed by a lively discussion with some of the cast and crew including Director Roger Christian; Writer Farrukh Dhondy (his next screenplay is going to set in Goa) and the main star, Koel Puri.
The film is a modern day thriller set in a globalised world where bills and banking enquiries in the USA are answered by workers in call centres in India. Sujata (Koel Puri) is a call centre recruit who is taught to speak with an American accent and re-named 'Sue'.
BTW: Bride & Prejudice is also going to be screened at IFFI. It has been released in the UK and to tie in with the film, Sunpride is running a promotion on juice drinks packaged by Tetra Pak which gives consumers the chance to win a 14-night honeymoon in Goa. The promotion features on Tropical Juice Drink packed in Tetra Brik aseptic 1-litre base cartons with ReCap.
It is not clear if the winner will also be provided with a partner – Perhaps Samir knows :-)
