With a theme line “Lets go BIG with shorts”,
LISFF has gone REALLY BIG. After receiving the prestigious entries of short
films that have popular Bollywood actors including Naseeruddin Shah, Nawazuddin
Siddique, Zeenat Aman, Manjot Singh, Kitu Gidwani and the like, we have
received Kankana Chakraborty’s docu-drama “Women Prayed and Preyed Upon”
featuring Bollywood’s Iconic Star Amitabh Bachchan.
“A docudrama on violence against women,
Kankana’s film highlights the irony that men who prey upon women are the ones
who pray to Goddesses. Amitabh Bachchan plays kinda sutradhar who takes the
entire story forward and is there throughout the film. The best part of this
docudrama it that it has a very hard hitting poem by Sanjeev Tiwari which is
sure to bring tears to everyone’s eyes. Having said this, this is one film that
is sure to watch out for” mentioned Mahua Mazumdar, Festival Coordinator.
LISFF has also received the Oscar award
winning film ‘Curfew’ by Shawn Christensen, four Cannes entry films and even a
National Award winner.
Organized by Eon Films in conjunction with
O.M. Filmz and coordinated by Aura Events, Codes & Pixels as well as
Olivine Ventures, the festival has awards in more than 19 categories. LISFF is
also introducing Audience Polls for the People’s Choice Awards as well as
Critics Award that will be decided by the critics. In both cases, the winners
will take home a statuette of the festival’s mascot.
