タミル国際映画祭 in 大阪へようこそ

インド映画は、ボリウッドだけじゃない!

インドと一言で言ってもその国土は広大で、北と南では話す言葉も違います。

日本でインド映画といえば確かに北インドのボリウッドが有名ですが、南インド・タミルナードゥの映画や出演する俳優さんたちもとても素晴らしいんです!

タミル国際映画祭in大阪は、DAINA PICTURES主催で2020年秋から毎年開催し、タミルと日本の架け橋となることを目指しています。

この映画祭は、日本のDAINA PICTURESが、インド・タミルナードゥの有名映画制作会社であるBigprint Pictures、日本のタミル映画ファンの皆様のご協力のもとに開催いたします。

We will have 5 Japanese personalities as Jury to select the films in respective categories.

We are looking forward the GRAND event of Tamil Film Festival at heart city OSAKA in Japan.

審査員には5名の日本人を起用し、各部門の審査を行います。

日本の中心地、大阪で開催されるタミル映画祭のグランドイベントを楽しみにしています。
