PANAJI: Indian Panorama section showcasing country's best feature and non-feature films was inaugurated on Saturday by Union information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunsi during the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat and Chief Secretary of Goa J P Singh were also present for the inauguration held at Kala Academy venue on Saturday.
The section will have 21 feature and 15 non-feature films.
Malayalam feature film Ore Kadal (the sea within) directed by Shyama Prasad was the inaugural film in the feature film section while Bagher Bachcha (the tiger cub), a Bengali film directed by Bishnu Deb Halder was in the non-feature film section.
"I am honoured and privileged that my movie leads the other feature films" director Shyama Prasad said expressing happiness that his movie got the place as an opening feature film in the Indian Panorama section.
Ore Kadal is a 123 minutes coloured drama-cum-family movie casting Mammootty playing the pilot role opposite actress Meera Jasmine. The film is a blend of values and diverse experiences of life with some hidden aspects of romance.
The 24 minutes Bengali movie is a story about a 10-year young boy who struggles to survive and finding own way at a metro station in Humdrum, Kolkata.
The director while addressing the crowd at the screening centre said, "I was given just four tapes with a 40 minute capacity for this movie. It was a tough job. But I managed to make it a successful one and the result is that it is being screened as a opening non-feature film in the Indian Panorama," he said.
