It’s been 25 years since I have been traveling In the Universe of World Cinema. Today is one of the happiest days in my life, It’s the day, all my dreams come true. Chennai International Film Festival is beginning its first step today. My goal is to take Tamil cinema to the world cinema audience. Apparently, through this festival, I wanted to bring the best films selected across reputed International festivals to the filmmakers in here. Using this, our people can learn and raise the quality of the films they are about to make in the future. I have got many more objectives and with all your help, I hope this becomes a reality.
Thank you!
