Notes from MAMI: The List

Film festivals bring in with itself a lot of meticulous planning, erm, scheduling so that one does not miss out screenings while hopping from one location to the other, genteel jumping the queues as need be, and looking for alternative screening timings in case of clash. After much deliberations over the films that need, ought, must, should and not be viewed, I came up with the following. I am mainly sticking with films playing at two venues of PVR ECX and PVR ICON located at Citi Mall, Andheri West and Infinity Mall, Versova, separated by a distance of 500 meters. Lets hope to catch the most of the films.
