FILMI 7 - Toronto
Mohit Rajhans - August 09, 2006
Even parenting could not stop me from being a part of FILMI 7 - The South Asian Film Festival of Toronto.
If you are in Toronto this week or weekend we'd love to see you out.
Programming highlights include: Bombay Calling, by Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal, Sanjay Talreja's Cricket… and the Meaning of Life, and the eye opening documentary John and Jane.
Wish us luck!!!!!

Toronto, Ontario – Bell presents the 7th Annual FILMI South Asian Film Festival (FSAFF) at the NFB Mediatheque, Innis Town Hall and Bloor Cinema in Toronto.
Every year has seen FILMI South Asian Film Festival grown in some capacity and this year is no exception. In six years, audiences have grown to over 5,000 people and now FILMI, with the support of many of its generous sponsors, has expanded its ability to showcase and premiere many Canadian films by South Asian filmmakers as well as South Asian films from around the world by going national.

In Toronto, this year's FILMI South Asian Film Festival 7 features a whole host of exciting and riveting films about South Asian Diaspora. Programming highlights include: Bombay Calling, by Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal, Sanjay Talreja's Cricket… and the Meaning of Life, and the eye opening documentary A Very British Bollywood by Anthony Wonke.
The 7th Annual FILMI South Asian Film Festival is also delighted to present the family orientated North American Premiere of Vishal Bharadwaj's Chatri Chor (The Blue Umbrella) as part of world youth day programming on Saturday August 12th, 2006 at the NFB mediatheque. Based on the novel of the same title by Ruskin Bond, the film blends the extremely colourful and gaudy images with Bollywood-style song and dance, stressing the old lesson that materialist desires lead to punishment.

Another Vishal Bhardawaj film (beside Omkara) - can't wait. Thank you for sharing. I was nto aware of "Chatri Chor".
dear Mohit
being a film and entertainment fan, i hope to read more posts from you here -- i enjoy everything you share with us.
i, too, am happy to hear about another Bhardawaj film. too bad i'm in NYC, and working too hard to take a break -- the FILMI 7 festival was something i'd have come to up Toronto for, if i could have managed it.
love, heather
