It’s a great pleasure and honour to welcome the very best in Kannada

Festival to be held from 22nd February to 1st March 2018.
First of all I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere

a pillar of support to our festival by accepting all our requests. His gen-
erosit towar s the film in ustr has hel e anna a inema to our-

BIFFES allows access to the world that might be otherwise out of bounds,
by presenting diverse landscapes across the globe. Bengaluru is a cos-
mopolitan city and is known for its plurality of culture. It can assimilate
global cultures and still retain its own identity. Despite stiff competition
from various language cinemas Kannada cinema has held its status both
in terms of num er of films ma e lo all an also its re resentation in
national cinema. At this festival a bouquet of selected Art House cinema,
mainstream films an ulturall si nifi ant wor s have een line u
for screening.
has o ene u a new worl for our new eneration of film ma -
ers to loo at the ossi ilities of film e ression an that was the main
objective for the establishment of Kannada Chalanachitra Academy. In
the years to come the academy will hope to take this forum outside Ben-
galuru and create a conducive environment in the state to boost the
quality of Kannada cinema to international arena enabling the rich tradi-
tion of Kannada to extend beyond the borders of the state.
On behalf of Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy, I extend a warm wel-
come to all the participants of the festival and wish them a great, joyful
and enriching experience at BIFFES.

Vele can’t afford to buy the expensive medications for his father, who has cancer.
Desperate, he steals marijuana from some criminals, makes a cake with it and

Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced
but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes.
His next show is “The Square”, an installation which invites passersby to altruism,
reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But Christian’s
foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations.
Meanwhile, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for
“The Square”. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the
museum, into an existential crisis.

THE THIRD MURDER
SANDOME NO SATSUJIN

DIRECTOR - HIROKAZU KORE-EDA
JAPAN / 2017 / JAPANESE / 124 MIN.

SYNOPSIS
A top lawyer Shigemori, is asked to join in the defense of Misumi, who has already
spent 30 years in prison for a previous double murder. Misumi is now back in
jail, having willingly admitted that he robbed, killed and burned the body of his
former employer. It seems to be an open-and-shut case. But once Shigemori
starts digging, interviewing his client and the victim’s family, the evidence is no
longer obvious and the cynical attorney, who is much more interested in winning
the case than unveiling the truth, begins to doubt that Misumi is indeed the guilty
party.

SYNOPSIS
Newton is a stickler for principles he’s given the job of volunteer election worker
in the village where he’s to make sure that the election is carried out properly
turns out to be a democratic stress-centre, where he must keep devious military
personnel and bureaucrats in check – even as the voters, the very people the
whole thing is about. The Adivasi are wise to keep their distance from this staged
spectacle of democracy and put up resistance with a cunning game of hide-and-
seek. When a foreign election monitor arrives, the tide turns in his favour – but
only temporarily.

SYNOPSIS
A group of German workers sets off to a construction site in the border region
between Bulgaria and Greece. This foreign land and its breath-taking landscape
awaken the men’s sense of adventure, but they are also confronted with their
own prejudice and mistrust due to the language barrier and cultural differences.
The stage is quickly set for a showdown when the men begin to compete for
recognition and favour from the local villagers.

NOTE
Five decades ago, the summer of 1970, 13 May, to be precise, turned out to be one of the
momentous day in the annals of Kannada Cinema history. On that day, akin to the time and
day Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali, gave a new meaning and idiom to Indian cinema, and
the worl too noti e similarl a film that lit u s reens in the tate han e the ire tion
and course of Kannada cinema.

hat film was ams ara itual t turne to e a rite of assa e for those that followe in
later years providing a whole new syntax and dimension to the appreciation and under-
standing of the history of Kannada cinema.

Samskara, based on a story by eminent litterateur and Jnapith award winner, U R Anan-
thamurth t was rou ht on to s reen an enter risin an foresi htful filmma er an
producer Pattabhi Ramareddy, turned out to be the pathbreaker.

became the pivot around which other peers followed suit. In fact, it was during that very
time that there was a churning in Kannada literary scene as well, which had just given birth
to a new realist literary tradition called Navya Movement, with which a team of young writ-

Emboldened by the boldness of social themes that these literatures tackled exposing the
so ial hierar hies with s e ifi fo us on women s issues en er i entit e ualit an so ial
justice, saw Pattabhi Ramareddy taking that decisive path with Samskara.

MEMORIAL LECTURE

V K MURTHY (1923 -2013)


V K Murthy’s singular contribution as a cinematographer is to bring into
play a new aesthetic, as if it were, in the mainstream of Indian Cinema.
While it is arguably easier to break fresh ground in the parallel Cinema,
it is nothing less than a heroic act to do so in the mainstream which has
firml entren he itself in re esta lishe notions n et are li e

images with an everlasting glory.
