Consider this: the Festival des 3 Continents, which is celebrating Shabana Azmi’s 50 years in movies this year, wasn’t around when she debuted in Hindi cinema in 1974. That itself can be a sign of how enduring Azmi’s career has been, as the actor went from strength to strength, leaving her mark not only in Indian cinema but also around the world. Not surprising then that the 46th edition of Festival des 3 Continents, which is underway in Nantes, France, is paying a tribute to the senior actor with a retrospective of her films. Beginning from November 19 to 22, the prestigious festival will screen Ankur (1974), Arth (1982), Mandi (1983), and Masoom (1983).

Arth and Ankur will be screened at the festival
