Indian Film Festival at the High Museum
The Indian Film Festival kicked off today at the High Museum today evening at 1900 with The Making of the Mahatma. The screening was preceded by a number of rather banal speeches of thanks, peppered with some intentionally and unintentionally hilarious anecdotes. The film was rather disappointing and it was just as well Shyam Benegal was unable to make it today to introduce the film. Pretentious background music by Vanraj Bhatia.
