NEW DELHI: The short film ‘Red Building where the sun sets‘ in English directed by Revathy and the feature ‘Deool‘ in Marathi directed by Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni will be screened at the opening tomorrow of the public screenings of the recipients of the 59th National Film Awards for 2011.

While Revathy‘s film has won the award for family values, the Marathi film has won three awards: best film, best actor and best dialogues. Both directors will be present.

Veteran filmmaker and author Vijaya Mulay and Information and Broadcasting Ministry Joint Secretary (Films) Khurshid Ahmed Ganai will be present at the inauguration.

The screenings of the other films will be held from 2 to 10 June at Sirifort Auditorium II in the capital.

The screenings will include the showing of ‘The Dirty Picture‘, which became controversial because of its proposed telecast despite the fact that it had an ‘Adult only‘ certificate. The film will be screened on 8 June at 2 pm.

There will be three shows every day at 10.30 am, 2 pm and 5.30 pm and most screenings will be one short film followed by a feature, except in cases where the short film is of full length.
