[Darshana]

So happy to have found out about this terrific conference, scheduled along with the London Film Festival, on the middle weekend, I am crazy about Rachel Dwyer and I have been seeing new Bengali movies here at festivals, and was dying to see Just Another Love Story as I saw only part of it when it was here in NY.  So - I am pretty sure I will be at this thing!!

Also Rosie Thomas, Anurag Kashyup, Rituparno Ghosh . . . .
