November, replete with international movie festivals, DVD launches and theatrical releases promises to be a real treat for world cinema lovers in India.

The Kolkata Film Festival kicks off on 10th Nov with some really amazing films to watch out for- don’t miss the NDTV Lumiere Kim Ki duk retrospective with four of his gems playing at the festival - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.. and Spring, Time, Breath and The Coast Guard. Really expecting fireworks here!

The other award winning movies picked from the NDTV Lumiere catalogue include Three Monkeys, Samaritan Girl, Ulzhan, The Edge Of Heaven and Duska.

‘ Three Monkeys’ which won the 2008 Festival de Cannes for Best Director was also released in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Kolkata barely a few months after it won the award !

For those who can’t attend the festival, there is plenty more happening – Some of the best Jaques Tati titles like Playtime, Jour De Fete,Mon Oncle and Mr Hulot's Holiday will hit the DVD shelves all over India apart from Fatih Akin’s In July, Solino, Short Sharp Shock and other great titles like Caramel, Persepolis, Goodbye Bafana, Crossed Tracks, 8 ½, Tuya’s Marriage and La Dolce Vita !

If that’s not enough, wait for ‘ 2 days in Paris’ – releasing on 7th Nov in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore…. Starring Adam Goldberg and Julie Delpy , this one for a change is without any twisted plots/identities/ fatalities and the like… the movie was screened at the Berlin International Festival and bagged a host of accolades elsewhere as well.

Also releasing soon in theatres are The Secret of the Grain and Page Turner….
