When sports played spoiled sport…. The common wealth games schedule has forced this years annual Osian's-Cinefan Film Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema to be cancelled due to clash of timings. It’s a bad news for patronage of quality cinema as the cancelling of the festival will deprive them of the best works in world & Arab cinema this year. “We won't have the festival this time. You have the Commonwealth Games at that time and people will be interested in that. Then Siri Fort is under renovation. We don't even know if it'll be ready by that time,” said a source from the festival. “We need at least two weekends during the festival because that draws maximum footfalls. We tried asking people who've got the bookings if they could let us the dates but nothing happened. So we thought of taking a break this year,” the source added. |
