Director Onir and Sanjay Suri are looking forward to a festive season in the coming months. Their film Bas Ek Pal will be screened at IFFI on the 2nd of December. Apart from that, their acclaimed film My Brother Nikhil will go to its 27th International Film Festival with its screening at Ljubljana 22 Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (Slovenia) on the 5th of December.
But the director won’t be able to attend the festival. Says Onir, “Actually I won’t be going to Slovenia as I had already confirmed my presence at the GIFA awards where I am nominated for the Critic’s Award - director for Bas Ek Pal.”
“But I am excited by the fact that more than a year and a half after the release of My Brother Nikhil it continues its journey across continents. The film was just screened day before at the Long Island Gay and Lesbian film festival and was received very well. Early next year.... March 2006 both Sanjay and I are traveling to Cape Town to attend the Bollywood film festival. There will be a screening of MBN. I am also conducting a workshop in Cape Town.”
Onir concludes on a satisfying note, “I think MBN will probably have traveled to more international festivals than any Bollywood film in the resent past.”
Both, Onir and Sanjay Suri have been selected to be placed in the top 50 hot list of 2006/07 in the category of; Film, Theatre & Drama for the 2006/07 TMG awards.
