On the roads of the golden age of Sri Lankan cinema

The Festival explores Sri Lankan cinema with an exceptional programme of rare works, some of which have been restored, from one of South Asia’s least known film industries. This retrospective is the result of a collaboration initiated in April with the National Film Corporation (NFC) and the Sri Lanka National Archives (SLNA) as an extension of the France – India – Sri Lanka Cine Heritage (FISCH) project on the occasion of the restoration of Sumitra Peries’ masterpiece Les Filles by the Film Heritage Foundation.
Retrospective supported by the French Embassy in Sri Lanka.
