MUMBAI: NDTV Lumi?re is set to showcase five “select” films to the Indian audiences that did well at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival 2008.
NDTV Lumi?re, the initiative of NDTV Imagine to bring world cinema to Indian audiences, will present these films in the coming months across multiple platforms ranging from theatrical releases to home video and television.
The films include The Class, Three Monkeys, Delta, and A Christmas Tale.
While Laurent Cantent‘s The Class won the Palme d’Or (Best Film) award at Cannes this year, Nuri Bilge Ceylan won the best director award for Three Monkeys.
Delta won the International Federation of Film Critics award. This award is given by independent entities to movies “that are beyond excellence.”
The critic’s award, which is given away to the best film in the International Critics Week Competition (a sidebar competition at Cannes), was bagged by Bosnian director Aida Begic’s Snow.
Catherine Deneuve, who stars in A Christmas Tale, won the special prize at festival.
