An Evening of Light and Shadows
By Swetha Antony
The opening ceremony of the 13th International Film Festival of Kerala was nothing short of a visual extravaganza. Holding on to the very essence of the festival, the ceremony showcased an array of visuals ingenious to Kerala and at the same time screening a film from another corner of the world. From the very primitive method of expressing to the very modern it was a spectacle merging the frontiers of both time and place! The theme of the visuals was worked out from Lankalakshmi, the logo of the Festival and the ceremony opened with Tholpaavakoothu, a ritual art form of Kerala. The ceremony closed with the screening of the Israeli film Laila's Birthday. In a way the evolution of visuals was what the ceremony expressed.
