PUNE: Diploma films made by students of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) will yet again make their presence felt at the prestigious International film Festival of India (IFFI), to be held in Goa next month.
Motorbike' has been directed by Radhika Murthy; Surang' by Anurag Goswami while Shyam Raat Seher' has been directed by Arunima Sharma.All the three films have been selected for screening in the Indian Panorama section of the IFFI, scheduled to be held from November 22 to December 2 at Panjim.
These short fiction films will try to show the innovative themes and novel approaches in cinematic techniques applied by the students.
Motorbike' is a 18.30 minute-long film in dolby surround sound and widescreen format. It is the story of dreams and their resilience, about an impulsive, rebellious girl at odds with her middle-class background. It's her journey of getting back to driving her father's old motorbike which she took without his permission and without a licence, thereby wrecked it.
Surang' is a 10.40 minute duration film based on a dialogue exercise. It depicts two convicts who have escaped the prison through a tunnel. As their fool-proof plan hits an unexpected roadblock, the jailor and his cronies deal with the mishap in a true bureaucratic fashion.
Shyam Raat Seher,' a 23-minute film made in dolby digital sound, is a sensitive portrayal of a middle-aged actor trying to revive his fading television career by playing Lord Krishna in a pseudo-experimental play.
