Prof. Shanti Thakur wins the Grand Remi Award (Best of the Fest) at Worldfest-Houston

Red Tulips, A Story About Forgetting won the Grand Remi Award (Best of the Fest Category), for Experimental Film at Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival.
Red Tulips (2012, 14 min.) competed against 104 short films programmed, and over 1400 short film entries.

Red Tulips will screen with other selected works by Prof. Thakur tomorrow night, Tuesday, April 23 at 6pm in the Lang auditorium, Rm 424. Q and A moderated by Prof. Andrew Lund.

Synopsis: This is a magical world where memory lasts only a few hours. While millions dig for their identity in their own “Book of Human Memory”, James instead, returns home to learn who his wife and daughter are. Liberated from the filters of memory, this is a fable about discovering trust and human connection in the present moment.
