Documentary Film Festival Showcases Myriad Human Lives

by The Daily Eye Team February 14 2017, 1:01 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 28 secs

With themes ranging from caste and culture, the cries of disgruntled Maruti workers to the lives of literary giants, the fifth Chennai Short Film and Documentary festival promises to showcase films that get straight to the point and hit straight at the heart. While the documentary 'Iyakkunar Sigaram K Balachander' on the late filmmaker by Manohar Singh Bisht was screened on Friday as the curtain raiser for the festival, it is Malayali editor-director Renjit Kuzhur's 77-minute documentary '18 Feet' that will play as the inaugural film on February 13.
