MUMBAI: Filmmaker Onir‘s I Am and Virgin Goat, a co-production between India and France, directed by Murali Nair are to be screened at Kandy International Film Festival (KIFF) from 22 to 26 June in Sri Lanka.

Two Indian documentaries - Marathon Boy (directed by Gemma Atwal) and Gandhi‘s Children (directed by Vishnu Vasu) - would also be screened.

 
Marathon Boy follows Budhia, the four-year-old prodigy plucked from the slums of India and trained for marathon which ultimately leads to a story of greed, envy and broken dreams. Gandhi‘s Children, on the other hand, is a personal documentary capturing the lives of dalits and tribals in India.

A Bangladeshi film Meherjaan, starring Jaya Bachchan, Victor Banerjee and Omar Rahim and directed by Rubaiyyat Hossain, will also be screened. The film is a story set in the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war.
