Red letter Day

Waiting for December 11? Is this a Red Letter Day? It is certainly not for September 11 commemoration of the terror strikes on WTO. Yes, this is a celebrating occasion wherein veteran actress Sharmila Tagore is being welcomed as the guest of honour at the International Film festival of Kerala.What is interesting about the fest is the felicitation of three great artistes of Slumdog Millionaire fame – Music director A.R Rehman, lyricist Gulzar and sound designers and mixer Resul Pookutty.

The coveted event will be earmarked by the screening of retrospectives of Mexican director Arturo Ripsten, Japanese director Mikio Naruse, French film-maker Jacques Tati and Malayalam director Lohitadas. Plus nine Cuban movies are planned to be exhibited as part of the `Country Focus’ segment. Anyway, it’s a Red hot event!
