It’s a fun watching movies.. but it becomes more interesting when a lot of film buffs gather and speak out their views & opinions about the screened films, & we get to envisage a collaborative image of the movie.. This was what exactly happened at the RTFF- ROOF TOP FILM FESTIVAL on saturday the 24th of march. This event was organized collaboratively. Ganesh and T.U.Dinesh were the brain behind this event. It all started like this: ganesh wanted to screen the world cup matches for some commercial profit. But it didn’t turn well. So ganesh decided to host a film fest. A wiki was created for this event where all the requesites ,terms,contributors,campers & the list of movies proposed were put.. The event started at 8pm in the evening ant went non-stop till 7.30 am next morning. This was not an event for just coming and watching a movie but you have to either help with organising, or bring something to bite and also put forward your views about the movies screened(which is the interesting aspect of this event). The final list of movies screened were,
- Hard Candy
- blood simple
- Annie Hall
- That Four Letter Word
along with some short movies,
- Call Centre
- America America
- Hi Dad
We also had Sudhish Kamath with us, the one who directed The Four Letter Word. It was interesting to hear a lot from him i.e., his views, directions to local film makers and a lot of other issues w.r.t movies. The whole night we had fun watching,munching & boozing(hey, not me). The fest ended somewhere around 7 am next morning. I had watched all the movies without even taking a short nap.. after the event i had to walk from ICICI towers upto Adyar River bridge bus stop & i was so much tired. I took a bus to T.Nagar. On the way the last thing i remembered seeing was ‘Dolars & Pounds’ in adyar and the next moment i remember was a passingby bus driver waking me up at the T.Nagar bus depot. He said to me that the bus had reached there 15 mins earlier and abused me of not yet leaving the bus.. I got down and reached my place by 8.45 am. Anyway the previous night was AMAZING…….
