The 28th Kolkata International Film Festival is all set to be held from December 15-22. The city’s skylines are now decked up with catchy hoardings celebrating the best of cinema. The promotional posters of the festival have already gone viral on social media. In tune with the KIFF’s theme Bishwa Meley Chhobir Melay (Meet the World at the World of Cinema), the posters depict iconic movie characters from international films sharing space with memorable characters from Bengali and Hindi films.
One of the posters shows Charlie Chaplin from The Kid (1921) sitting with Apu from Pather Panchali (1955).
In another one Soumitra Chatterjee as Feluda shares a bench with Tom Hanks from Forrest Gump (1994).
Another hoarding shows Uttam Kumar from Nayak (1966) with Jean Seberg from Breathless (1960).
Ralph Fiennes from The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) is seen in another poster with Rabi Ghosh from Galpa Holeo Satyi (1966).
