Water will be shown at a Finnish film festival
fivil just informed me that Deepa Mehta's Water will be shown at this year's Woman or Artichoke Film Festival in late February.
From the comments I've seen on the web, the film sounds very interesting. It centers around the treatment of widows in 1930s India through the story of eight-year-old Chuiya who is sent to live in a house for widows.
