Mumbai Film Festival could be a great way to get some culture on holiday.
Travellers on cheap flights to Mumbai who love to watch the latest movies could get a head start by visiting the city’s forthcoming film festival.
Organised each year by the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image, the event takes place between October 13th and 20th 2011, with a wealth of home-grown and international movies to be showcased.
The event will once again have a distinctly French flavour to it, as for the fourth year running it is to play host to the Rendezvous with French Cinema.
As well as hosting a selection of movies, there will also be prizes given out to the best submissions, with a panel of international judges working in the industry selecting their favourite submissions.
The number of people attending could be up this year after recent figures from the city’s airport showed there had been a 10.6 per cent increase in the number of people on cheap flights to Mumbai during July.
