International film festival ends today in Jaffna

‘Picturing Reconcilliation: An International Film Festival’ organised by the International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES) in collaboration with the Organisation for Visual Progression (OVP) is on today (November 25) from 2-6 p.m. at the Media Resource and Training Centre, University of Jaffna.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion headed by Prof. Sivachandran. The 11 international and local films showing at the festival explore what peace and reconcilliation means while celebrating the power of individual stories, collective efforts and dialogue to bridge differences. While each film in the programme emphasises a different but equally important aspect of reconcilliation, some highlights include: ‘Iraq in fragments’; ‘The Redemption of General Butt-Naked’; and ‘Kerosene’.

‘Kerosene’ is a critically-acclaimed portrait of resilience and human ingenuity in North and East of Sri Lanka in the mid-1990s, a time of acute austerity for those affected by the government’s embargoes on medicine, food and fuel.
