The fourth day of the festival was lots of fun as it was a Sunday and many local children had the opportunity to catch up with films. One got to see huge crowds of kids accompanied by parents trying to figure out which films they should show to their children.
Film actor Nazir came down to watch a Chinese film as he was in town for a shoot. He took time out to squeeze in a children's film.
One of the favourites of the day was Khan Khulay. A Thai animation film, it is a wonderful film shot in the jungles of Thailand and Bangkok of yore. It is about a little elephant and its journey of discovery of his father and the values that his father a great warrior elephant had stood for.
Though it starts off on a lighter note, it progresses into a proper action drama, complete with a battle sequence and the victory of good over evil.
Then, there was a workshop conducted for the children on animation, web to help them understand the basics of animation and to introduce them to the world of moving images.
The children found it rather interesting as it is in tune with what they get to see on TV and Net these days.
Last, but not the least, it was the day of Donkey Ollie, the cute li'l donkey from Isreal. It is a huge hit with kids and grown-ups.
