‘Road, Movie’ – a film which has an original screenplay written by Dev Benegal and is co-produced by Susan Landau and Ross Katz – will open this years ‘Generation 14plus’ Berlinale.
‘Road, Movie’ is a colourful film about the trials and tribulations of the young Vishnu, played by Abhay Deol. He, a restless young man rejects his parent’s middle-class existence and starts a journey to search for meaning and freedom. He ends up thinking more deeply about life and in turn comes to appreciate his own culture more profoundly along with the complimentary virtues of friendship and of love.
This will be the 60th anniversary of the ‘Berlinale’, otherwise known as the ‘Berlin International Film Festival’ – and runs from 11th till 21st February, this year.
Since 1978, the ‘Berlinale’ has had a specially dedicated section for young adults called ‘Generation’ – this includes short and feature-length films which are presented in two separate competitions ‘Kplus’ and ‘14Plus’.
The best films from this genre are awarded the festivals ‘Crystal Bears’.
