‘Little Jaffna,’ ‘Mahabharata’ Lead London Indian Film Festival Lineup (EXCLUSIVE)
The London Indian Film Festival will open its 16th edition with the U.K. premiere of 'Little Jaffna.'
Directed by Lawrence Valin, the film, which he also co-wrote and stars in, explores the Tamil diaspora experience in France through the prism of gang culture in the area of central Paris known informally as Little Jaffna, named after the capital city of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. The program also features Lakshmipriya Devi’s “Boong,” which tells the story of a disobedient schoolboy in Manipur who naively risks his safety crossing into Myanmar to search for his missing father in an attempt to mend his broken family. Set against the Himalayas, Vinod Kapri’s “Pyre” offers a sumptuously photographed narrative about an elderly couple deeply in love but struggling to survive in a changing mountain society.
