9 short movies in 3 hours. All from different genre, language, country and culture. That is what constituted my Saturday today. Thanks to Sush, I finally got a chance to go to first Ahmedabad International Movie Festival. There are two nice things about this event:
1. It is happening in Wide Angle, one of the best multiplex theatre in Ahmedabad. The organizers have put quality effort in the first edition of the event.
2. Most of the shows are actually HOUSE FULL. Yes, they are running house full. Ahmedabad crowd rocks too. We never thought that we will have to worry about tickets but when we reached there we realized that we could not watch what seemed our first choice as they were all sold out. Good start for an event of this kind. It will really encourage the organizers and people associated.
Tonight there is a play in RJM Auditorium in IIMA as part of the same. Needless to say it is houseful too. We were lucky enough to get our passes. So looking forward for a fun filled evening as well.
The event ends tomorrow. There are plenty of movies tomorrow too. However getting tickets for them will be difficult seeing the current status of ticket sales. Give it a shot if you have some time and enthusiasm.
ps: Ahmedabd crowd rocks too. Never have I seen such beautiful faces around in Ahmedabad.
