Sampradaya Dance Creations Partners With FILMI To Create Children’s Film Festival
Lifestyle May 26, 2013
Today at 4 pm Sampradaya Dance Creations showcases their newest initiative, the Children’s Film Festival at the Sampradaya Theatre in Mississauga Ont. Sampradaya Dance Creations is thrilled about the new partnership with FILMI (Toronto’s South Asian Film Festival) and can’t wait for the reveal.
The Children’s film festival will feature a variety of family friendly short films by South Asian filmmakers. It is a great event for the whole family to take part in and be exposed to some great short films from a collection of talented directors & artists.
“Our children and youth need opportunities to experience various art forms across all genres. Having our own theatre space allows us to program such events and offer it at no charge for families to enjoy an afternoon of watching great films together. It is a proud moment for us to see our family programming come to fruition in this way” voiced Artistic Director for Sampradaya Dance Creations, Lata Pada.
Some notable works that will be shown at this Sunday’s Festival are Raju by Max Zahle which was a 2012 Oscar Nominated Film in the category of Best Live Action Short Film and Honeybee Mine – a powerful documentary by Saskia Laufer, which has been submitted for the 2013 Jump Cuts TIFF Kids International Film Festival while also being shortlisted for a TVO Kids Choice Award 2013.
Other films that have been selected for the festival include Aimee, where a young girl struggles to fit in with her new, unfamiliar surroundings; Affection, an Oscar nominated short film in 2012 which is based upon a little boys struggle of finding balance in life; An Oscar Nominated Best Live Action Short Film, Raju, which is about a German Couple adopting a young Indian Orphan and the realization that they are part of the problem once he runs away. All these films are not only extremely well done and deserving of the accolades they have received but the message and scenarios played out in each film are eye opening and should be taken very seriously.
Not only will this festival be engaging through ones eye’s and heart, but it will also offer the opportunity to meet some of the local filmmakers with a Q and A portion following the screenings. This is an added treat to those who have questions after watching the short films. Some artists that will be in attendance are Ash Varma and Saskia Laufer who happens to be a remarkable 8 years old herself!
Come join us this Sunday for a day full of great works of art and promised family fun!
