MUMBAI: The eighth annual touring film exhibition, organised by MoMA (Museum of Modern Arts, New York City), has selected Sidharth Srinivasan‘s Pairon Talle (Soul of Sand) to be part of it.

Pairon Talle is among the nine films developed with grants from Global Film Initiative (GFI) to be presented in this exhibition. "Accomplished, entertaining, and thought-provoking, the films are also deeply rooted in the social and political realities of the countries where their talented and resourceful makers live and set their stories", states a press release from the organisers.

Other films to be part of the exhibition are: Federico Veiroj‘s La Vida Útil (A Useful Life), Uruguay; Sérgio Bianchi‘s Os Inquilinos (The Tenants), Brazil; Diego Lerman‘s La Mirada Invisible (The Invisible Eye), Argentina; Aktan Arym Kubat‘s Svet-Ake (The Light Thief), Kyrgyzstan; Mohammad Rasoulof‘s Kestzar Haye Sepid (The White Meadows), Iran; Zhang Lu‘s Dooman River, China; Levan Koguashvili‘s Quchis Dgeebi (Street Days), Georgia; and Ahmed Imamovic‘s Belvedere, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The exhibition, to be held in collaboration with GFI, will be held between 13 to 28 January.
