The Hindu
The 19th Chennai International Film Festival is here, promising a treat of 121 films from 53 countries
“The feeling of watching a film on the large screen is something else,” says E Thangaraj, general secretary, Indo Film Appreciation Foundation. “Sound effects and visuals can be experienced to the fullest only in a cinema theatre,” he points out. The Foundation’s 19th Chennai International Film Festival seeks to offer cinema lovers exactly this.
With the last couple of years seeing more films releasing on OTT platforms than on the big screen, Thangaraj hopes that the festival will provide fodder for film buffs. “This is an opportunity for them to watch our pick of award-winning films from around the world,” he adds.
