ALEX Calling from Kerala

Namaskor.

Best film festival ever.

Tops. Adipowli !!!! Awesome. The Best.

Top Prize  film  Wajib, from Palestine, was Awesome

But overall best film and Audience prize favorite was 

"A mon age je me cache encore pour fumer " ... / At my age I still have to hide to smoke ...

The film is a smoking gun in the face of Islamic oppression of women and is as only to be expected, banned in all Arab countries ~~ wallapalooza smackeroo  -- Bravo!

You know it's gotta be good because it has been banned in all Arab countries.
