The Red Lorry Film Festival is back for its second edition. This time, the festival is expanding beyond Mumbai and will also take place in Hyderabad.
The event is set to showcase globally acclaimed films, including Emilia Perez, The Girl with the Needle, and Queer. One of the highlights of the festival is Emilia Perez, which made history by receiving 13 Oscar nominations, the highest ever for a non-English-language film. The movie features a powerful cast, including Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofia Gascon, and Adriana Paz. Gascon also made history by becoming the first transgender woman nominated for an Oscar for acting. The film won the Jury Prize and a joint Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. Another highly anticipated film is ‘The Girl with the Needle’, a haunting period drama set in 1919 Copenhagen. The Girl With the Needle had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by its North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. The film received strong reviews, with critics praising its intense storyline and powerful climax. (PTI)
