Synopsis of the films to be screened today in the Chennai International Film Festival
The Chennai International Film Festival will take place from 12th December to 19th December. The synopsis of the films that are being screened today.
Theatre: Woodlands,Time: 2 P M,Film: No
No is a 2012 Chilean drama film directed by Pablo Larraín. The film is based on the unpublished play El Plebiscito, written by Antonio Skármeta. Mexican actor Gael García Bernal plays René, an in-demand advertising man working in Chile in the late 1980s. The historical moment the film captures is when advertising tactics came to be widely used in political campaigns. The campaign in question was the historic 1988 plebiscite of the Chilean citizenry over whether general Augusto Pinochet should have another 8-year term as President.At the 85th Academy Awards the film was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
Theatre: Woodlands Symphony,Time: 1.45 P M,Film: Hush.. Girls don`t Scream-Iran
This film rocked in the Goa Film Festival. “Hush!” begins like a noir crime thriller, perhaps a Cornell Woolrich-style tale of revenge, a la “The Bride Wore Black.” The stunned-looking bride in this case bride, Shirin Naeimi (Tannaz Tabatabayi), appears before her husband dressed in blinding white — except for the garish splatter of fresh blood across her chest. The film clears up the question of motivation almost immediately, when Shirin confesses to killing a man who abused her repeatedly as a child and had been lurking around the fringes of her life ever since.Writer-director Pouran Derakhshandeh (“Endless Dreams,” “A Candle in the Wind”) has made a film as tight as clenched fist.

A globetrotting, treasure hunting adventure
about a man (Jackie Chan) who searches the world for a set of mystic artifacts
- 12 bronze heads of the animals from the Chinese zodiac.
