SUMMARY:London Indian Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The 16th edition of the U.K. and Europe’s largest annual Indian film event returns with the U.K. premiere of high-action gangster film Little Jaffna, with a rookie cop going undercover to infiltrate Tamil gangs battling it out in the mean streets of Paris. Think La Haine meets Gangs of Wasseypur in this refreshingly paced and filmed drama directed by Lawrence Vallin. Aligning with the 100th birth year of legendary British theatre impresario Peter Brooks is the festival’s Central Gala with the U.K. premiere of the filmic version restoration of one of his most famed works, the interpretation of the greatest Indian epic story of love, philosophy and warfare – The Mahabharata, told as a story that encompasses all Human-kind. We expect some of the original cast to attend from France to the screening at BFI IMAX – literally it will be the biggest story ever told on the U.K.’s biggest screen.\nDirector Rima Das’ films return to the festival with the smoulderingly powerful Village Rockstars 2, about an Assamese teenager who holds onto her childhood dreams, only to confront the many challenges facing young people in rural India today, from threats of floods to holding her family together. The delightful story Boong tells of a disobedient schoolboys ambition to mend his broken family in Manipur, naively risking his safety to cross into Myanmar in search of his missing dad. Set in the Himalayas, Pyre is a sumptuously photographed story about a deeply in love elderly couple struggling to survive in a changing mountain society.\nThe festival goes on to celebrate emerging British Asian talent with a new industry event in collaboration with RIFCO Theatre, to encourage more U.K. South Asians into the industry and explore Co-production. This is accompanied by the festival’s popular programme of Brit-Asian shorts.\nThe film festival will be followed by our new Indian gaming showcase, the South Asian Gaming Zone, in partnership with FORMAT GG, Liverpool on October 30th.\nCary Rajinder Sawhney MBE\nCEO & Programming Director, London Indian Film Festival\n
