MUMBAI:
The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) has
decided to screen six short feature films.
Two
are in Hindi titled Shor and Sujata. The other four
are Khara Karodpati, Aashpordha, The 5 and Place for
Landing.
Shor
is a film based on a couple from Banaras who is consumed
by its pursuit to survive in the seedy ghettos of Mumbai
city. The film portrays the struggle of a working class
woman’s endeavours.
Said
the director, “The journey so far has been really
great. The biggest learning for me was to understand
that the most difficult task is to actually assemble
a great team which is equally excited about the project
hence the success of the film must be accredited to
them.”
Directed
by Shlok Sharma, Sujata is a 10-minute short film
about a woman who takes matters into her own hands
when her childhood tormentor hunts her down after
years of running away from him.
Avered
Sharma, “This is a recognition for all the efforts
that my team has put in. I would specially like to
thank my scriptwriter Annie for writing such a beautiful
script. I’m totally looking forward to get a
good response to the film.”
The
festival that started on 10 April will go on till
15 April.
