Good bye Arab
The festival this year will move away from the traditional showcasing of Arab-Asian films and instead concentrate on Indian cinema, ideas and themes. "Osian has a huge collection of Indian posters, lobby cards and movies, which will all form a part of the exhibition during the festival. This year, we are giving cine enthusiasts a chance to pick some of the most amazingly made world cinema," says Indu Shrikent, festival director.
