This Oscar-winning film claimed Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Actress for Mikey Madison. Anora will have its big-screen outing at the Red Lorry Film Festival, giving audiences the chance to experience its breathtaking visuals and storytelling in a theater setting.
Another notable film featured in the festival is Emilia Perez, which secured the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldana and Best Original Song for “El Mal.” Additionally, the festival will showcase I’m Still Here, a film that won Best International Feature Film, providing audiences with a diverse selection of films from around the world.
The festival will unfold at two top-tier venues in Mumbai: Maison INOX at Jio World Plaza and Maison PVR at Jio World Drive.
