The Red Umbrella receives awards for Best Film and Best Actor at SRFA 2010



We are glad to inform all our friends and welwishers, that our film "The Red Umbrella" has received the award for the Best feature film portraying sexual minority characters and issues in SGFF 2010. Dipmoy (Imon, the protagonist) received the award for the Best feature film actor in the role of a sexual minority character.

I express my sincere thanks, unconditional debts and warm regards to all my cast, crew and friends who have been part of this project in some way or the other.

I express my sincere thanks to the organisers of the SGFF to have considered our entry eligible for this honor.

This news, although pleasantly shocking to all of us, reminds us of one big thing - that dedication pays! All our cast and crew members were so deeply involved in the project, and sacrificed so much of their time, energy and work, that the project seemed to be a child we were bringing up!

Now that the child has grown up and started getting affections from the outer world, we feel like proud parents!


Screening Schedule & Venue:

On September 3, 2010 (Friday), Jayadev Bhawan, Bhubaneswar: “Aarambha”, “Aasara Sakala” “Hari Nivas” “Being Positive” “Magic” and “Theme Song on HIV/AIDS” will be screened.

On September 4, 2010 (Saturday), Jayadev Bhawan, Bhubaneswar: “Rupantar”, “The Red Umbrella”, “XXWhy” will be screened

Tirthankar
