Asoka Handagama’s latest movie, Ini Avan, will begin local screening from today at EAP Cinemas countrywide.

The film had its international premiere at the 13th Jeonju International Film Festival 2012, South Korea, and was picked for the ACID Cannes 2012 Program in Cannes in May as well.

It had been screened in many independent international festivals around the world including the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The film will also be released to theatres in France, by Heleoprophe Films.

Juxtaposing serene landscapes with strangely beautiful renderings of urban decay, Handagama’s elegiac allegory neither wallows in grief nor mourns for a lost past, but rather explores the unsettling realities of post-war Jaffna. “And yet, there is hope within this desperate, lyrical portrait — hope of an ‘after’ for those who have lived through the traumas of war,” said Cameron Bailey, Programmer TIFF.

Directed by Handagama, Ini Avan cast includes Darshan Dharmaraj, Niranjani Shanmugaraja, Subashini Balasubramaniun, Raja Ganeshan, Malcolm Machado and King Rathnam. Cinematography is by veteran Channa Deshapriya, music by Kapila Poogala Arachchi, art direction by Sunil Wijerathne. For E-Culture Productions, Ini Avan is co-produced by Jagath Wellawatte and Anura Fernando.
