festivals

Life is truly lived only when we discover other faiths, festivals, languages and cultures.

In India, there is a psychological problem that movies going to film festivals are boring. It is a problem with exhibitors.

My parents used to do these little film festivals in our house where we'd watch all the Marx Brothers movies, or Chaplin movies, and a lot of westerns.

Other people pull off amazing festivals and events and things like that. I think ours is a little bit different, and that's what makes us distinct.

It's hard to get that real good feeling about festivals sometimes.

I discovered after going to music festivals that I am a rock fan. I love the guitars, the phrasing, and the abandon of rock fans.

I listen to all types of different music. I go to different festivals. I'm around music.

There are those who argue that the public celebration of festivals such as Christmas should be discouraged, in the questionable belief that it might somehow offend those of other religions or none.

To get noticed, I had to take my films in a space which was much more democratic in terms of cinema - the international film festivals.

I love the crowds at festivals because they're so chilled out.

I am an Indian and we celebrate all festivals in every region of every religion. That is why it is called Incredible India!

In a world where seasons of planting harvests and inundation ruled life and death, it was imperative to bring the gods into daily life to help things along. The more a king invested in festivals of cyclical renewal, the more prosperity the gods bestowed. But if the gods were ignored, bad floods would result, and that meant meager planting and poor harvest, which led in turn to drought, pestilence, disease and death.
