Screen
The screen heats up with NDTV Lumière, a new channel launched showcasing international cinema. It is the best of critically acclaimed films and international film festivals. Sink your teeth into the cinema of Pedro Almodóvar, Wong-Kar Wai, Fellini and Truffaut, amongst others. Step into Max Mueller Bhavan, Mumbai for German films that pick up on the motherhood theme with Mother Beast – Mother Human on May 10 and In the Midst of the Malestream on May 17. If that is too highbrow for your palate, check out HBO’s blockbusters Shooter (May 17), Happy Feet (May 29) and Blood Diamond (May 31).
