“The film like Citizen Kane (English), Angry Men (English), Bicycle Thieves (Italian), Life is Beautiful (Italian), The Queen of Silence (Polish), Seven Samurai (Japanese), Children of Heaven (Persian), Where are my shoes (Persian), Andaz (Hindi), Payas (Hindi), Reet (Dogri), Lzadol (Ladakhi), Mainz Raat (Kashmiri) and many others will be screened during the event,” Festival Director Mushtaaque Ali Ahmad Khan told reporters during a press conference.
Replying to a question about the idea of this film festival, he said, “I felt that cinema related activities were missing from this part of the world at a time when all forms of media arts were available to us. So, I decided to go ahead with the idea.”
He further said that besides the film festival, a five day workshop will be held for media students and film lovers, who want to know about the technical and aesthetical part of the cinema and film making.
The first edition of the festival, a five-day event, was held in July this year that witnessed a huge response from the audience.
