Filmmaker, animator Gitanjali Rao's animated feature film 'Bombay Rose' is all set to premiere at Venice Film Festival. 'Bombay Rose' is the first Indian animation film ever to open Venice Critic’s Week.
Produced by Cinestaan Film Company and created, written and directed by Gitanjali Rao, 'Bombay Rose' will have its premiere on August 29. Later, the film will have its North American premiere in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 7.
The makers recently released the trailer of the film which is set to be a love story of two immigrants in Mumbai. Set on the streets of Mumbai, it moves from real life to fantasy, accompanied by much-loved Bollywood songs from the cinema halls. Painted frame by frame, for which Gitanjali is famed, 'Bombay Rose' is a chronicle of the people who migrate from small towns, seeking minimal life in the maximum city.
