The 11th Mumbai Film Festival (MFF) organized by Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) is back and scheduled to take place from October 29 to November 5, 2009 in Mumbai. A Reliance Big Entertainment initiative, MFF has the distinction of being the only international film festival in India to be organized by an independent body of practicing film professionals.
This year MMF will honour two extremely talented filmmakers from India and abroad. Indian actor-director Shashi Kapoor will receive the Indian lifetime achievement award at the inaugural function of the Festival on October 29, 2009. A selection of his films will be screened on this occasion. Considered as one of the world's greatest living directors, Greek film-maker Angelopoulos will be presented the international lifetime achievement award in the closing ceremony of the Festival on November 5, 2009. A retrospective of his films will be organized to salute the maestro.
Divided into five sections viz. International Competition for the First Feature Films of Directors, World Cinema, Indian Showcase, Dimensions Mumbai and Retrospectives, the festival offers something to every film buff. A five member international jury will include celebrated Hollywood scriptwriter, director and Martin Scorsese's long term collaborator Paul Schrader (script writer for the cult film Taxi Driver & co-writer of Raging Bull amongst others) and eminent Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi (who has been awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for his work)
"The 11th MFF will showcase the best in contemporary Indian cinema even while it takes a look back at cinema down the ages," notes renowned filmmaker Shyam Benegal, the chair-person of MAMI. "We also want to encourage young film talent and have a forum for that. Further, our audience will be treated to the works of Shashi Kapoor and Angelopoulos, two filmmakers to be honoured with life-time achievement awards. Both have traversed a long path and made a distinctive niche for themselves in world cinema."
The 11th MFF will also organize an exhibition to commemorate and celebrate 60 years of Dev Anand's Navketan Films. A retrospective from Navketan will be screened to mark the occasion.
MFF carries some of the biggest cash awards in the world for its International Competition of First Feature Films of Directors category. These debut features will compete for the cash award of about USD 100,000 (Rs, 50, 00,000) and Golden Gateway India trophy for the best film and the Silver Gateway India and cash prize of about USD 50,000 (25, 00, 000) for the Jury Grand Prize. The best talent from these films will be given Silver Gateway India. This year MAMI is introducing a USD 20,000 Audience Choice Award (about Rs. 10, 00, 000). Films from all sections except retrospective and tributes will compete for this award.
Also on the anvil is 'Mumbai Young Critics', a brand new initiative from MAMI to encourage young film enthusiasts. 32 college students from various Mumbai colleges will be selected to form a first of its kind jury. These young jury members will vote for the film which will receive the Mumbai Young Critics Award and the Silver Gateway of India.
Finding a place at MFF is 'Dimensions Mumbai', an immensely popular short film competition organized by MAMI. The competition invites short films of up to five minutes duration from young film-makers on the theme of 'Mumbai, The Metropolis'. The films on any aspect of life in the metropolis made in any format will vie for cash awards worth Rs. 1.5 Lakh.
Fun Republic- the 4 screens multiplex at Andheri will be the central venue of the 11th MFF. Festival films will also be screened at Metro BIG Cinema and other theatres.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 29 Aug 2009 | 6:52 am Shobana to stage musical in Malaysia

Mika Singh is miffed with director Deepak Tijori. The singer's song was deleted off from the movie Fox without informing him or even having a word with him.
Mika had shot for a song called 'Sexy Kudiye' for the movie. The song was solely shot with Mika, which was a part of the movie. A source reveals, "During the editing stage, the song was taken out, without updating Mika for the same. He learnt of the same after he didn't see his song airing with the promos. It is quite a peppy number which was decided to be used as one of the song promos."
It is learnt that Mika's song was replaced with another song called 'Jashn Jashn' sung by singer Aakriti Kakkar
Mika says, "Everyone knows that to which ever movie I have given my songs, they have turned out to be super hits. Right from Jab We Met, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Singh Is Kinng. People who have removed my song will be unlucky. It is bad luck for them that they don't have my song in the movie."
He continues, "I was aware that the song is removed but you reminded me now. They didn't ask me before removing it. As my duty I sent them the song, now it was up to them if they wanted to use it or not. We didn't have an agreement that I should be upset. The producer called me and told me that they are removing the song."
"The release is less than one week away and there is no buzz about the movie. By deleting my song, they have added bad luck to the movie. I am not affected; on the other hand I have gained confidence," adds Mika.
Director Deepak Tijori says, "Yes, we have removed Mika's song. Once we all sat down to watch the movie, we realized the song wasn't fitting in. It was breaking the story plot of the film. The production house and I jointly decided to delete the song."
Did you inform Mika about it? He says, "This is handled by the production department. They will have to inform him. He is a dear friend of ours."
Fox is produced by Zee Motion Pictures and is due to release on September 4. The movie stars Sunny Deol, Arjun Rampal, Udita Goswami and Sagarika Ghatge.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 29 Aug 2009 | 5:27 am Akshay shoots for his long pending film titled Hello India in London
A 12-year old film finally got completed this week, thanks to its leading man Akshay Kumar's determination to not have a single film of his in the cans.
This week after completing a schedule of Sajid Khan's Housefull, Akshay Kumar sent Deepika Padukone packing and called producer-director Shabnam Kapoor to London to complete the long-pending Purab Ki Laila Paschim Ka Chaila, now called Hello India.
Shabnam Kapoor flew to London and shot with Akshay Kumar for almost a week before he flew out to Italy on Thursday for the next schedule of Housefull.
With the completion of Purab Ki Laila⦠which also stars Namrata Shirodkar and Suniel Shetty, Akshay prides himself on being the only leading man in Bollywood who has no films in the cans.
Interestingly, this would be only the second film in Akshay's career directed by a female. Sangharsh directed by Tanuja Chandra was the first.
He now has the enviable record of being the only Bollywood superstar with no incomplete films to his discredit.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 29 Aug 2009 | 4:57 am Himesh launches music of Radio at Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati Mandal

Reports that Shilpa's dad has been applying to retrieve his passport from Surat (where the document is kept because of a pending court case) so he can be in London for his daughter's wedding has Shilpa in splits.
"The passport is certainly not meant for my wedding, please! It's not happening in October, November, December or any of the dates that have been fixed for my wedding in the media. Raj and I will announce the date from rooftops and invite the entire press corps to be part of the baraati when it happens. In the meanwhile, please leave my father alone."
Papa Shetty's passport needed retrieval not for Shilpa's wedding but for another family gathering altogether. "It's Raj Kundra's birthday on September 9. Our entire collective family will be bringing in the occasion at the Maldives. That's what my dad needed his passport for."
On a more sober note, Shilpa says, "We all respect the judiciary. But it's very humiliating for any daughter to have her father rushing to another town for his passport. It's even more humiliating to have erroneous media reports being put out about one's father .He had applied for his passport a few months ago."
As for the wedding, "There's no reason on earth why Raj I wouldn't want to get married at the earliest. At the moment we've our hands full with many new exciting ventures. We need get the space in our lives to plan and enjoy this wonderful event. Haath peele karne ke liye haath khali to hone chahiye."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 29 Aug 2009 | 4:08 am Has Bollywood shut its eyes to movies on farmers?Emaciated farmers ploughing the fields, parched fields, scheming land sharks, broken down huts - these may reflect the reality of many Indian villages, but seldom get captured in Bollywood films.Source: Entertainment News | 29 Aug 2009 | 3:49 am Michael Jackson death ruled as homicideThe Los Angeles County Coroner on Friday ruled the June 25 death of Michael Jackson a homicide and said that the pop star died of "acute intoxication" by the anaesthetic propofol.Source: Entertainment News | 29 Aug 2009 | 3:24 am
