    Much Ado About Nothing
    The 11th M.A.M.I Film Festival is over now. I remember how I was excited when I heard that this time the living legendary Greek film maker Theodorous Angelopoulos has been invited for receiving life time award. For me who used to watch his movies again and again on lap top it was a dream to see him and talk to him and watch some of his movies on the screen this time. It...
