Hameedia will host the opening dinner of the International Film
Festival of Colombo on Tuesday.
The festival will be held from Tuesday to Sunday is the first of its
kind to be held in Sri Lanka. The opening event will bring together the
Film Directors' Guild, festival participants and audience members to
celebrate a new era of Sri Lankan and international cinema.
The International Film Festival of Colombo (IFFC), has been launched
with the Okinawa International Movie Festival of Japan to further
promote the development of the film and cinema industry in Sri Lanka.
Although Sri Lankan cinema has gained recognition at various
independent festivals, the country has not set up an effective film
festival of its own. The International Film Festival of Colombo was
launched to help take Sri Lanka's cinema to new heights. Managing
Director, Hameedia, Fouzul Hameed said, "It is a great honour to host
the opening dinner at the International Film Festival of Colombo." |
