Writer, director and actor Renjith’s Kerala Café an amalgamation of 10 short films is getting ready for release on October 2.
The film has been censored on August 31, making it eligible for the Indian Panorama at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) Goa.
Says Renjit: “The theme of the film is unique. On a common theme of journeys, each filmmaker presents their cinematic impression of contemporary times in Kerala. The independent narratives integrate when, during these journeys, their characters pass through Kerala Cafe - a quaint railway cafeteria; thereby creating a joint mosaic of issues and impressions; in a symbiotic space and time”
A team of 10 directors - Lal Jose, Shaji Kailas, Anwar Rasheed, Shyamaprasad, B.Unnikrishnan, Revathy, Anjali Menon, M.Padmakumar, Shankar Ramakrishnan and Uday Ananthan have made 10 short films featuring Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram, Prithviraj, Rahman, Kalabhavan Mani, Jagathy and Jayasurya.
