FFLA's
special
event
includes
the
opening
night
gala
with

Last
Film

year

As

many
well-known
industry
folks
have
confirmed
their
attendance.
Last
Film
Show
is
a
narrative
about
a
doe-eyed
boy,
Samay,
who
is
introduced
to
the
world
of
movies
by
his
father,
a
mere
tea
seller
in
1990s
Gujarat.
This
opened
a
new
chapter
in
his
life
as
his
obsession
with
movies
grew
to
the
extent
of
striking
a
deal
with
the
movie
theatre's
owner.
Samay
simply
had
to
bring
home-cooked
meals
in
return
for
free
access
to
the
movies.
The
film
proceeds
to
unravel
an
endearing
long-lasting
friendship
that
is
forced
to
withstand
certain
heart-breaking
decisions
as
an
era
of
changes
sweeps
through
the
country
that
alters
their
dreams
for
a
lifetime
to
come.
Present
at
the
screening
and
opening
of
IFFLA
will
be
Pan
Nalin,
the
Director
of
LFS,
who
will
be
speaking
about
his
film
and
what
conspired
behind
the
camera
to
bring
to
screen
the
innocence
and
beauty
of
the
story.
Pan
Nalin,
the
imaginative
mind
behind
the
sublime
storytelling
of
movies
like
Samsara,
Angry
Indian
Goddesses
and
Valley
of
Flowers
says,
"The
simplest
answer
to
why
we're
intrigued
by
a
film
is
because
the
film
is
made
with
so
much
honesty,
love,
and
simplicity.
And
once
the
story
was
simple
and
honest
enough
for
the
theme
to
go
universal,
the
top-notch
execution
aided
in
translating
its
honesty
and
richness
on
the
big
screen."
He
adds,
"IFFLA
is
a
very
important
festival
as
it
has
interesting
participation,
panel
discussions
and
has
great
opportunities
for
networking
and
collaborations."
Dheer
Momaya,
Producer
Jugaad
Motion
Pictures,
thrilled
with
the
response
the
film
is
garnering
at
the
International
Festivals
and
the
global
circuit
says,
"While
this
is
a
hyper-local
story
told
from
an
indigenous
Indian
point
of
view,
the
themes
explored
through
the
story
are
quite
universal.
At
its
essence,
the
father-son
story
really
spoke
to
me,
and
I
felt
that
the
emotions
that
Nalin
was
able
to
highlight
in
the
script
would
translate
quite
well
onto
the
screen.
The
most
attractive
thing
about
the
story
though
was
the
depiction
of
the
relentless
human
spirit.
Our
protagonist
gives
so
much
sense
and
meaning
to
his
life,
and
to
the
lives
of
the
people
around
him,
without
having
anything
to
start
from.
So
many
people
who
live
comfortably
within
the
means
of
their
privilege
or
without,
find
it
difficult
to
cope
with
the
struggles
and
banality
of
modern
living,
and
sometimes
watching
films
like
this
is
a
reminder
that
a
lot
can
be
done
and
overcome
even
if
you
have
very
little."
