India's 'An Old Dog's Diary' wins award at London Film Fest

Indian short film "An Old Dog's Diary", directed by Shai Heredia and Shumona Goel, has won the best short film award at the 2015 London Film Festival (LFF).

The 11-minute-long film assembles, in puzzle-piece evocations, a portrait of Indian avant-garde painter Francis Newton Souza, revealing the cultural conditions for his work and its eventual eventual institutionalisation.

"Shai Heredia & Shumona Goel's portrait of Francis Newton Souza, An Old Dog's Diary, wins #LFF Best Short Film Award," read a post on BFI London Film Festival official twitter account.

The film was earlier showcased in the Wavelengths category at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.
