NEW DELHI:The Toronto International Film Festival,which
had earlier announced its selections,has now added two
more Indian films in different
sections.
Margarita, with a Straw directed by Shonali
Bose will get a world premiere in
Contemporary World Cinema programme while
Megha Ramaswamy’s short film Newborns will
screen in the inaugural Short Cuts
International programme.
Margarita, with a Straw revolves around Laila
(Kalki Koechlin), a young romantic and a secret
rebel in a wheelchair. Undeterred by cerebral
palsy, she embarks on exhilarating adventures
of self discovery, which causes a rift both
within and with those she is closest to.
Ultimately, it is in the intensity of these bonds
where she must find the strength to truly be
herself.
Newborns attempts to provide a lens to the
survivors of acid violence, to look forward and
gaze back. They take us through the ennui of
their domestic and public spaces in a nameless
dystopian city, its factories, houses and
motels, and its promises, never honoured.
A total of 36 international shorts from 29
countries will be screened in the newly
introduced short film section at the 39th
Festival from 4 to 14 September.
The programme presents the latest works of
some of the most provocative and important
voices in cinema from around the globe.
Several other Asian films have also been added.
They include the world premieres of Johnnie
To’s Don't Go Breaking My Heart and Revenge
of the Green Dragons , co-directed by Andrew
Lau and Andrew Loo.
Other new titles include Joel C. Lamangan's
Justice Hustisya , Liew Seng Tai's Men who save
the World and Chang Jung-chi's Partners in
Crime. http://www.indiantelevision.com/movies/hindi/two-indian-films-added-to-toronto-international-filmfest-programme-140820
