How far would a doting father sacrifice his ethics just for his daughter’s happiness?
Speaking to Filmy Town, Kishor Jawade, the founder of ICFS said, “This is the first time ever that a Chinese feature film has been selected under World Panorma Section (the Non-competitive section) at 52nd IFFI in Goa.”
Nitin Sharma, International film head (ICFS) revealed that Patio of Illusion is a touching story of an ordinary man living in modern Macau. When he loses his courage to face his true self, he risks losing what he treasured the most – his family. Feeling abandoned by his parents since his childhood, the protagonist wows to earn big money and provide for his wife and children. But in the midst of achieving it, he faces the same dilemma of the mistakes of his parents being repeated again.
The International film festival of India is the foremost and renowned Film festival that is being held at Goa since over 5 decades where young filmmakers, producers and film fraternity exchange views and creative ideas, learn and interact at this platform.
