Indian producer-distributor Drishyam Films is in pre-production on its first Arabic-language project, Triangle, to be directed by Iranian filmmaker Shahram Alidi.
The project revolves around a Palestinian woman and the challenges she must overcome to ensure her poetry is published. Production is scheduled to start in February 2016, in Palestine and Turkey, where the protagonist travels. The script will also be partly Turkish language.
“The film depicts her physical and emotional journey as she attempts to achieve her dream,” said Drishyam Films founder Manish Mundra [pictured]. “At Drishyam we are focused on story-driven projects with a strong emotional connection to audiences.”
Alidi’s award-winning debut feature, Whisper With The Wind (2009), about an elderly radio-operator attempting to connect families in war-torn Kurdistan in the 1980s, premiered in Critics Week at Cannes.
Mundra is attending Diff with Anu Menon’s Waiting, which he co-produced with Mumbai-based Ishka Films. He is also producing Atanu Mukherjee’s Unknown Faces, which started...

Mosaïques Festival Of World Culture, London
World cinema festivals might be more common these days, but this one shows you the parts of the globe British festivals don't reach, ie: the French post-colonial landscape. There's quality cinema here from north and west Africa, south-east Asia and the Middle East, much of it produced with French support. Whisper With The Wind is set in Iraq, mind you, and deals with a clandestine radio messenger, while Brazil's The Famous And The Dead is a dreamy Bob Dylan-themed thriller. Closer to home there's London River, in which Brenda Blethyn and Malian actor Sotigui Kouyaté play parents brought together by the 7/7 bombings.
