MUMBAI:
US-born Rohit Gupta's internationally acclaimed award-winning
film Life! Camera Action will have its South-East Asian
premiere at the ongoing 12th Dhaka International Film
Festival (DIFF).
The
film will screen on 19 January in the 'Cinema of the
World' dramatic competitive section.
Said
festival director Ahmed Muztaba Zamal, “We are
honored and thankful to Rohit for having us host the
South-East Asia premiere of Life! Camera Action at the
DIFF 2012.”
The
film relates the story of a young girl, Reina, played
by actress Dipti Mehta who is threatened by her parents
(Subodh Batra and Prabha Batra) to be disowned, if
she insists on an unstable career like filmmaking,
instead of doing what usually is the norm -- become
a doctor, engineer or architect.
“I
am happy to see our film chosen to screen in Cinema
of the World at the prestigious DIFF 2012," said
Gupta in a statement.
The
12th DIFF will feature over 200 films from 55 countries
from six continents and will be attended by celebrities
and dignitaries from around the world.
The
DIFF is one of the most prestigious film events in
the international film festival circuit and has been
dedicated in celebrating the global mainstream in
film and its social relevance for nineteen years.
The
curtains of the festival will be wrung down on January
20.
