A total of 10
films will be screened as part of the festival days. This includes Never Sorry

Film Festival, and Rembrandt Fecit 1669 by director Jos Stelling, which recreates
the end of a genius with authenticity.
The line-up on
the first day includes BBC documentaries on artists such as Antony Gormley,
best known for his monumental sculpture Angel
of the North; Chris Ofili, who installed a paradise-like garden with a
glass dome for the Venice Biennale in 2003; Anthony Caro, who is known to have
led a revolution in sculpture in Britain in the early 1960s; and Anish Kapoor,
one of Britain’s most accomplished and popular sculptors. Apart from the
documentaries, they will also screen a bio-pic on the Greek painter of the
Spanish Renaissance, El Greco.
On the second
day, the line-up includes documentaries on David Batchelor and his experiments
with everyday materials such as plastics, chandeliers, lightboxes, and more, on
Richard Serra’s first retrospective exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, and The Art of Enlightenment by Frank Barbian.
The festival will
be held at Cholamandal Artists' Village, ECR, Injambakkam, between 2.30 p.m.
