Freida Pinto will also be attending the Australian premiere of her film Love Sonia and Ali Fazal has been elected as a jury member for the Short Film Awards category at the festival.
Fazal shared his views on being the jury member and said, “It’s always interesting to talk to people of different countries and background. It gives you great perspective. This, in fact, is my first time to Australia and to get a chance to interact with film lovers and film students on a topic about crossing over is exciting and there’s so much to speak about. I remember during the promotions and post-release of Victoria And Abdul, when I spoke to people such varied background, everyone had such interesting ideas about cinema and it’s role. So I’m looking forward to doing this talk and discussion alongside someone talented like Freida.”
The panel discussion will also have director Tabrez Noorani, whose film Love Sonia is also the opening night film of the fest.
