Cinema is as much a form of expression as it is a reflection of our society. Themes, after all, are not woven out of thin air, and are rooted in the social milieu of mankind, as are stories. Luanda Fernandes, 36, is a film critic and researcher, and Deputy Consul of Argentina, Gabriel Hernan Rosa's wife. Fernandes, who has collaborated with the Consulate General of the Argentine Republic in Mumbai for their upcoming film festival, Argentine Film Exhibition, echoes this when she says, "Cinema is a powerful way of exchanging perspectives and the idea behind this festival, specifically this year, is to show a sample of the diversity of contemporary Argentine cinema."
