screening at this prestigious festival.This year’s festival includes Fog of War, Brokeback Mountain, The Lives of Others, Babel, The Last King of Scotland, Juno, Slumdog Millionaire, Up in the Air, The King’s Speech, Black Swan, A Separation and the Artiste. The Lunchbox, featuring Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur and Nawazuddin Siddiqui had its premiere at the International Critics’ Week of the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year where it won the audience award, Grand Rail d’Or and then went on to win the Audience Choice Award at the World Cinema Festival Amestradam Amsterdam.
And in all this is
included NFDC produced and Ritesh Batra directed The Lunch Box It is the
first time for the director and his cast except of course Irfaan Khan who is a
household name in foreign cinema today and has traveled all the festivals,
premier shows and award ceremonies including the Oscar Awards. For the rest of
the unit including Nawaudin TFF will be the first time and they are super
excited to be a part of the festival.
