Date: 17-27 May 2018
Venue: India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road
We are just back from Jim Corbett and after the rejuvenating holiday it is now time for another kind of celebration at visual and cerebral level. The Habitat Film Festival (HFF) has just started. It is happening during 17th to 27th May 2018 at multiple audis in India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road.
This festival has been happening since many years now and we look forward to this event for a reason. HFF aims to bring the best of cinema from Pan Indian film industries for Delhi audience. It is only at this festival that we get to see awarded or award worthy regional films that we would have missed otherwise.
For example, last night we watched Ajji. This fine film by Devashish Makhija may not have moved the box office perhaps given its offbeat story and we had missed its release. But we got to watch it at the HFF and are so happy about that. Likewise we have an Assamese film Village Rockstars as this evening’s lineup. We plan to watch a host of other films like Mayurakshi (Bengali), Alifa (Bengali), Sonata (English) etc. in the next week. The recent Varun Dhawan hit October is also listed and we will attempt to watch that as well. Additionally, HFF is holding a retrospective of Shashi Kapoor’s films this year and his classics Shakespearewallah and Heat and Dust being screened during the festival.
The festival is free for all and you can get entry passes from the Habitat program desk during work hours. Alternatively you can register online. No matter what, the sheer variety of Indian cinema is on display for folks in Delhi NCR. To that end, movie buff or not, the Habitat Film Festival is definitely worth a dekko.
