My IFFI Indian programming wishlist

Nov 23rd : Do Bigha Zameen

Nov 24th, 25th & 26th : Nothing interesting in the Indian section except for Gulabi Talkies which clashes with work hours. Will check out the international fare.

Nov 27th : It's a holiday. Will watch atleast two movies. Thinking of Kancheevaram and Little Zizou back to back but might drop Kancheevaram in case there's something more interesting from the international fare. Kancheevaram has a repeat screening later...will watch it then in case I drop it on the 27th.

Nov 28th : Might be a holiday too...not sure though. Will catch the talk on Globalisation in Indian Cinema and pick up something from the international menu.

Nov 29th : Weekend!!!! Saturday's line-up is quite tempting. Will have to opt for either Bandini & Valu back to back or the repeat screening of Gulabi talkies. Haven't decided yet.

Nov 30th : Sunday = Fun day. Might catch the early morning repeat screening of Kancheevaram if not seen earlier. The rest of the day is open for the international fare.

Dec 1st : My birthday. :) And Chetan Anand's Neecha Nagar is the perfect birthday gift. Might be around half an hour late to work...but birthday hai to chalega.

Dec 2nd : Repeat screenings of Jodha Akbar & Valu. Wifey's been pertering me to watch JA with her for quite some time. Might give in...or else...will catch Valu. In which case, I'll drop out on Bandini earlier and watch Gulabi talkies instead on the 29th.

Looking forward to the screening schedule of international films. The screening schedule for the Indian programming is available on http://iffi.nic.in/scheduleip08.pdf
