Noida: The first ever IFFI- Irish Film Festival of India was inaugurated at Marwah Studios. The hustle and bustle at the studios gave lots of energy to the festival. People specially flown from Ireland and different parts of the country were eager to enter the main hall of inauguration, not to miss the main part of festival.
Another major attraction was a colorful exhibition of paintings of Tanisha Bakshi at the new complex of Marwah Studios, where she was anxiously waiting for the formal inauguration of this great event.
The painting exhibition was inaugurated by H.E. Brendan Ward Ambassador of Ireland to India, Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios, Film Maker from Ireland Siraj Zaidi, Actor & Writer Atul Tiwari, Actor & Producer Nilesh Malhotra, former Ambassador of India to Ireland Sandeep Kumar, former Secretary Government of India & Chancellor of University Stuti Kacker.
“We have always believed that cinema and other fine arts & performing arts go together. With every festival we must have an exhibition of paintings. This time we have brought the concept of Mother and Child by Tanisha Bakshi. Indian films are also popular because of the importance of mother we have been depicting on big screen. This exhibition is the representation of the same,” expressed Dr. Sandeep Marwah introducing the artist.
“Through my artworks I want to show the real and unimaginable life of the people where all they have is a fragile economic condition but a very powerful blessing and that is an ounce of love. They do not have the luxuries, but they chose to be happy with what they have. “A mother’s love is Universal. And for me, her love is my biggest Inspiration! “ added Tanisha.
The exhibition will remain open for three days of the festival. The event was supported by Indo Ireland Film and Cultural Forum, International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry and World Peace Development and Research Foundation.
