Spotlight on Debut Films at IFFLA 2016
|
Bringing new filmmaking voices to Los Angeles audiences. A number of films in this year's lineup mark feature directorial debuts.
Bhaskar Hazarika's KOTHANODI is a collection of four fables brought to wondrously unsettling life. Neeraj Ghaywan's MASAAN, which scored two awards at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, weaves together two powerful stories set along the Ganges. Ruchika Oberoi's genre-bending ISLAND CITY effortlessly shifts from absurdist comedy to escapist fantasy to realist drama (with a tinge of science fiction). Anucharan Murugaiyan's KIRUMI (VIRUS) is a riveting, white-knuckle thriller centered on a police informant. Lena Khan's THE TIGER HUNTER, a passholders only screening, is a wholly original take on the immigrant experience starring Danny Pudi.
