'Five by Four' for Shanghai fest

IT HAS become a trend now to narrate the life stories of teenage boys and girls.

If the recently released `Aayitha Ezuthu' is about boys `Five By Four' provide the girls' perspective.

The National Film Development Corporation Limited (NFDC) has produced the English version of `Five By Four' directed by Roopa Swaminathan. The Regional Manager, Mr. D. Ramakrishnan says the film has been selected for the forthcoming Shanghai International film festival, which is to held from <243>June 6.

The story is based on five graduates and their different life styles.

The film opens with all the five girls namely Shruthi, Namita, Meera, Shikha and Aishwarya.

Director Roopa Swaminathan says: "After getting their degree certificate, they all sit together and discuss their life. They promise to reunite after ten years. I have broken the story into four small stories. Each part of the story deals with each of the girls. As the story flows, each of the girls take turns at becoming the protagonist, while the others play support roles. In the end, all the girls unite for their reunion and this acts as a collective climax to all the four stories."

The entire film was shot in Tamil Nadu.

The music is by Yuvan Shankar Raja and photography by Ravi Verman. The whole film was shot in 18 days as all the lead players had rehearsed their scene with their co-artists for nearly three months.
