REVISITED

Director: Krzysztof Zanussi.
Revisited is a documentary film. This film is about film maker Krzysztof zanussi interviewed with his last film actors. I don't like this film. He enquired what happened with their life last years throughout. I didn't says nothing more about this film.
13 SQUARE METER

Director : Barthelemy Grossmann
This film is not up to the mark of viewers. This is an usual story, there is no message and unusual things. The story is basically about three youngsters and their robbery, all are have justification through the robbery, life is getting hard day by day this will leads to crime. One day they attack state owned van full of cash, and they stayed 13 square meter bunker by dreaming a better life. Finally caught by the police. this is a common movie.


THE ABSCENCE


Director :Mama Keita
The abscence is a contemporary movie of Senegal. This film gives a message to the viewers that"we should never avoid our sibilings for any reasons, we can't get them back. we had completely lost that person". These theme is depicted in adama and his sister aichas life. This film touches on the social issues of drug, prostitution, corruption, brain drain etc. Adamas abandoned his family especially his deaf and dumpb sister aicha. This will lead to aicha in the sex racket. He didn't care aicha. He is a successful scientist, he had reached home through an anonimous letter saying grandmother was ill. but he is not interested to stay in Senegal and he wants to return to France. Adama's teacher got angry because he return to France. His teacher says you are born and raised in Senegal, so that you should work for our country . This is the best eg of brain drain. This film touched me and viewers also.
24 CITY

Director :Jia Zhang-Ke
This film gave an exciting oral history of China over the last fifty years. This is a documentary film tells the story of china's economic, social and physical changes trasforming the country. Interviewers and interviewees are not a real workers, they were really a professional actors acting like a factory workers. Iam expected much about this film, but it is not up to the mark.The state owned military complex being demolished through, to construct a new luxury apartment 24 city. Factory workers shared their experience, while their parents are also factoryworkers. They can't meet their expenditure, because they get low salary, standard of living high in China. Zhao tao's intervews was touching, as she was crying during interview, she says my parents were factory workers, this gave her to face the new globalised environment. Zhao tao will buy one apartment of 24 city new luxury villa for her parents, this was her dream.I liked the quotation of this movie "people have something to do there age more slowly".Chines people recollect the communist govt- it's dawn and dusk, this documentaries include Chinas industrial and cultural revolution a, forced migration and major wars etc. Anyway this film will also be in the mind of viewers



IFFK was really a wonderful experience. I am inspired through this kind of cultural activities . All movies including competative sessions were upto the mark. All the movies were differed from story,cultural and technology. Every cinema gives us something to think and inspired our thoughts. I am really proud of kerala government and chalachitra acadamy to organize this wonderful event.This event ot be happen on next year.Some of the film which i liked the most are the following "The Abscence,The Search of Famine, True Noon etc. I could be also become a part of the discussions of the great artrist and technicians from almost all part of the world.It could create a festive mood to whole city. I feel it is really my luck to become to become a part of this great event which i used to know only through medias till last year.
