India's 'An Old Dog's Diary' wins award at London Film Fest

LONDON: Indian short film "An Old Dog's Diary", directed by Shai Heredia and Shumona Goel, has won the best short film award at the 2015 London Film Festival (LFF).

The 11-minute-long film assembles, in puzzle-piece evocations, a portrait of Indian avant-garde painter Francis Newton Souza, revealing the cultural conditions for his work and its eventual eventual institutionalisation.

“An Old Dog’s Diary is as poetic and soulful as its subject” – Jury president Daisy Jacob on #LFF Best Short Film Award-winner
