A Bollywood Trip To Promote Asean Film Fest
KUCHING (Sarawak, Malaysia), Sept 7 (Bernama) -- The organiser of the Asean
International Film Festival and Awards (AIFFA2013) here next year, intends to
give a touch of Bollywood to the inaugural event.
Plans are underway by the World Communications Network Resources (M) Sdn Bhd
to hold a roadshow at the Mumbai Film Festival in India, as part of its
promotion of the event.
World Communications secretariat coordinator Livan Tajang said Friday, the
six-day, Indian film festival, beginning Oct 24, would be an apt avenue in
preparation for the AIFFA2013.
"We hope to bring in some (actors and actresses) from Bollywood (to attend
the AIFFA2013)...we also want to see how they run their film festival so that
we will know how to run ours, in a more international and professional manner,"
she told a press conference here.
She said the roadshow would also cover all South East Asian countries to get
them committed to submit their films for the festival, as well as their movie
stars, to attend the events.
Kuching will host the four-day AIFFA2013, beginning March 28, next year.
The event is endorsed by the Sarawak Tourism Ministry and Asean Secretariat,
with support from the information communication and culture and foreign
ministries, and National Film Development Corporation. Kuching is the capital
city of east Malaysian state of Sarawak.
