Indian Panorama for IFFI announced

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 25. India's entry for the Oscars Shwaas, and Rituparno Ghosh's Chokher Bali, were today named in the Indian Panorama for 35th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) even as uncertainty remained over the event's date and venue.

The jury, which submitted their recommendations to the Information and Broadcasting Minister, S. Jaipal Reddy, selected 21 films in the feature section and 19 in the non-feature film segment. Sandeep Sawant's Shwaas, will represent the country in the Asian Competition section along with Anjan Dutt's Bow Barracks Forever.

The Government is yet to make an official announcement for this year's edition of IFFI, even as Goa — decided as the permanent venue in last year's edition — is to host it in November.

Six Hindi films, including Shwaas, are among the movies selected for the feature by the jury headed by Shaji N. Karun, film-maker from Kerala. Others finding places are the critically-acclaimed Chameli, Vishal Bharadwaj's Maqbool and M.F. Hussain's Meenaxi: Tale of 3 Cities.
