Two Indian co-productions to screen at Tribeca Film Fest

MUMBAI: Two Indian co-productions - Patang (India/USA) and Marathon Boy (UK/USA/India) - are set to feature at the 10th Tribeca Film Festival (TFF).

Patang, written and directed by Prashant Bhargava will be screened in the World ‘Narrative‘ section. The family drama, set in the backdrop of India‘s largest kite festival in Ahmedabad, was recently screened in Berlinale forum.

Marathon Boy, directed by Gemma Atwal, will participate in the ‘Documentary‘ competition of the festival. The film follows Budhia, the four-year-old prodigy plucked from the slums of India and trained for marathon by Biranchi Das, a judo coach who runs an orphanage in the eastern state of Orissa. The film had received support from the Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund.

Among the lineup of films announced, TFF 2011 will include feature films from 32 countries including 43 world premieres and 10 international premieres.

The festival will run from 20 April to 1 May in Lower Manhattan.
