FILM COMPETITION INDIA WORLDWIDE<br />
<strong>IFFI</strong>-<strong>2008</strong><br />
<strong>Film</strong> <strong>India</strong> Worldwide (FIW) is an initiative dedicated to the many links that <strong>India</strong>n cinema has forged and is forming with<br />
international filmmaking.<br />
At <strong>IFFI</strong>-Goa <strong>2008</strong>, FIW presents five films, each with intimations <strong>of</strong> a wider, more cosmopolitan world beyond. Oliver<br />
Paulus' Tandoori Love features a Bollywood touch in life and love in Switzerland . Sima Urale's Apron Strings addresses the<br />
<strong>India</strong>n Diaspora in New Zealand . In the US, Vera Chawla with her feature film Death Without Consent ventures into<br />
American mainstream cinema. Within <strong>India</strong>, Raja Menon's Barah Aana looks at globalised urban life and its turbulence.<br />
Finally, Anjan Dutt's film in English, Chaurasta - Crossroads <strong>of</strong> Love, uses English songs <strong>of</strong> a time gone by to take a nostalgic<br />
look at Darjeeling .<br />
<strong>India</strong> as a location and theme is attracting filmmakers <strong>of</strong> other nationalities. <strong>Film</strong>makers <strong>of</strong> <strong>India</strong>n origin living elsewhere are<br />
making films that connect with their homeland.<br />
<strong>India</strong>ns in <strong>India</strong> are drawn to urban themes that depict how cultures from abroad are affecting <strong>India</strong>n life. <strong>India</strong>n actors and<br />
technicians feature increasingly in international films. This initiative is not just limited to arranging this package - it also<br />
includes bringing out an eponymous magazine that highlights all these growing linkages.<br />
Enjoy the FIW package, showing an <strong>India</strong> that reaches out to other places, other worlds.<br />
