  • Final Brouchre.Cdr
    presents The 10th HABITAT FILM FESTIVAL 2015 May 8 - 17 2015 Ten years ago, we began the Habitat Film Festival, to turn the spotlight on the wealth of Pan Indian Cinema, which in addition to being largely overshadowed by Bollywood, had been relegated to an 'also showing 'status at Film Festivals, tripping over themselves to add the 'International' 'Asian' 'European' tag as a feather in their caps. In the last ten years the face of Indian cinema has seen the most dramatic turnaround. A brave new breed of young directors, fresh ideas, skilled professionals re-invented the face of Indian cinema adding their weight to the work of existing stalwarts who had stuck to their art. Today, the presence, appreciation, awards and accolades for Indian films in the international arena is increasingly becoming the norm rather than a novelty. Bollywood, though as popular (if not more than earlier !) is no longer the sole face of Indian cinema. Celebrating ten years of The Habitat Film Festival, we bring you gems from the last year that showcase the variety and passion of our contemporary film makers. In our tribute segment, we honour the inimitable and unmatchable tower of talent Kamaal Hasan with a retrospective of some of his hand picked films. Screenings will be followed by interactions with directors/producers giving cinema lovers an opportunity of a focused interaction and Q & A.

Patriarchy is deeply rooted in our system irrespective of all the latest reinforcement laid on the driven force of Gender Equality. I believe, men are under societal pressure to perform, to behave, to act and to express themselves.

A world just not free of suspect but also expect every expression by every man. Just as female, men are also celebrated. Yes, you read it right! There do exist an INTERNATIONAL MENS DAY on 19th November which celebrates the very idea of manhood and addresses the concerns dealt by men. Everywhere there are themes to celebrate this day and there is quite a history attached which you should surely dig in.
