Mumbai International Film Festival set to open tomorrow

Live Mint  

Alfonso Cuaron’s Netflix-produced “Roma”, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Shoplifters”, Spike Lee’s outrageous comedy “BlacKkKlansman”,Zhangke Jia’s “Ash is Purest White”, and Paul Dano’s “Wildlife” are some of the international festival favourites at this year’s Jio Mumbai International Film Festival organised by the Mumbai Academy of Moving Images, its 20th year. Among more than 20 Indian films to be screened are Vasan Bala’s “Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota” about a man who has a medical condition because of which he can feel no pain, which will open the festival, Rima Das’s third film “Bulbul Can Sing”, Ivan Ayr’s “Soni”, about an honest Delhi policewoman’s struggles with everyday sexism, Devashish Makhija’s “Bhonsle” with Manoj Bajpayee in the lead, about the immigrant experience in Mumbai, Kabir Chowdhry’s “Mehsampur” and Aadish Keluskar’s “Jaaon Kahan Bata Ae Dil”. Last year, Nicole Van Kilsdonk’s “The Day My Father Became a Bushgot” the Golden Getaway in the international competition category and Rima Das’s “Village Rockstar” got it in the India Gold category. South Bombay does get a lot of World Cinema but needs more screens for the festival gems in categories like International Competition.” Another regular, film-maker Ranjan Das who teaches at Digital Academy, The Film School, says, “This festival is only for film buffs and people associated with the film industry, and not people from other walks of life, as it happens in the festivals at Kolkata,Trivandrum or Delhi.” Most delegates like Das say that for the last three or four years, reserving seats has become difficult, the seats get reserved online within minutes and then a delegate has to stand in the unreserved line on the day of the screening, hoping for a chance to get in.
