“Lucky” Bafta Nominee 2006

Nominated for a Bafta, and screened in full within issue #16, “Lucky” is a South African Aids orphan who learns about life through an unlikely bond with an Indian neighbour.

In his own words, director Avie Luthra felt that the subject was so immense that it would be difficult to contain to a short film. “No one was behind the film at all to begin with, but for me it was something that I knew was going to be difficult only for the reason that I had to contain it to a short”. Avie is currently in the process of a feature length version of “Lucky” The film is tremendous, beautifully shot, a subject that is so sorrowful and yet emotionally all together charming.

Full length film included within issue #16 of Specialten.
