Mangaluru, July 7: ‘Konkani Filmotsav’ at Bharath Big Cinemas will be organized by the Mandd Sobhann in association with Tiatr Academy of Goa, from July 10th to July 16th.

Eric Ozario, Gurkar of Mandd Sobhann, announced this at a press meet here on Tuesday July 7th.

Seven Konkani films will be screened each day during this festival.

Prince Jacob, president of the Tiatr Academy of Goa, an eminent theatre artiste and Konakani movie star will inaugurate the festival on the first day of the screening. Roy Castelino, Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy president will be the chief guest, said Eric Ozario.

Except the ones produced in Karnataka, many Konkani movies are produced and released in Goa but they are not screened in Mangaluru. So the general opinion is that there is meagre number of Konkani movies. In an attempt to clear this wrong notion and also to promote Konkani cinema, this film festival is being organized, he added.
Seven Konkani movies to be screened during the Filmotsav are listed below:

Friday,          July 10 – 6:30 pm – MMS
Saturday,      July 11 – 6:30 pm – ‘ Home Sweet Home’
Sunday,        July 12 – 3:30 pm- ‘ Mortoo’
Monday,       July 13 – 6:30 pm – ‘Digant’
Tuesday,      July 14 – 6:30 pm – ‘Po’Ito’ddcho Monis
Wednesday, July 15 – 6:30 pm – ‘Baga Beach’
Thursday,     July 16 – 6:30 pm- ‘Uzwad’
Mandd Sobhann president Louis Pinto, co-ordinator Stany Alvares, PRO Arun Raj Rodrigues, and Joy Fernandes (Goa), executive committee member were present in the press meet.
