Melbourne film fest boasts of a strong Bengali cinema lineup
Bengali cinema is set for a spotlight moment at the 17th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), with a line-up that spans contemporary drama, restored classics and short films. The selection, organisers say, reflects the region’s literary depth and its enduring pull on Indian storytelling.
Leading the roster is Adamya, alongside Biye Fiye Niye, Maya Satya Bhram (Illusion of Truth and Delusion), Pinjar (The Cage) and Porshi (Neighbours) – five films that move between identity, relationships and social realities. Rounding off the slate is the short film Jasmine That Blooms in Autumn . The newly restored version of Saptapadi (1961) is also set to be screened at the festival.
