The London Indian Film Festival launches from July 15- 20 in London with a range of cutting-edge movies from some of India's hottest independent talents, we aren't talking Bollywood here, but films that challenge, make you think and show a more realistic view of India today in all its colour and diversity. The Festival's selection of films are screened across London, opening in the city centre at Cineworld (Haymarket), then Barbican, Nehru Centre, Watermans and Genesis cinemas. The Festival covers a wide range of themes from family dramas, coming-of age tales to twisted urban romance. What pervades many of these movies is a new more assured Indian cool, experimenting with cinematic styles, new technology and influenced by themes both East and West, which has helped them win favour with the young in-crowd in super cities like Mumbai.
