FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORONTO, ONTARIO – August 4, 2009 – Indictment Films is pleased to announce the world premier screening of ‘A HINDU’S INDICTMENT OF HEAVEN’ in the Short Cuts Canada program at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. A dramatic comedy at its core, ‘A HINDU’S INDICTMENT OF HEAVEN’ is a story of betrayal and lost love. Returning director Dev Khanna (Plums & Prunes TIFF’07) has created a stunning visual interpretation of a woman forced to choose between heaven and heart.

The film stars up-and-coming Canadian film starlet Georgina Reilly who was in last year’s TIFF smash ‘PONTY POOL’. Also starring is veteran theatre and television actor David Fox, best known for ROAD TO AVONLEA and his Dora award-winning performance in THE DRAWER BOY.

“The aim of this film is to question clichéd notions of ‘Soul Mate’ and ‘Eternal Happiness’,” said Khanna. “Are we able to truly love only one person in our lives? The film questions the idea of ‘Eternal Bliss’ and ‘Reunion with Loved Ones’. Being a Hindu, my faith does not have these ideas. I wanted to create a middle ground or a bridge between two cultures that can ultimately create a deeper understanding of the idea of love and happiness.”

With current producers Lenny Foreht and Andre Bharti, Khanna is in pre-production for his first feature film called Fondi ’91. Set against a background of lost innocence, youthful frivolity and dark moral themes, Fondi ’91 is a plot driven character story that follows the lustful adventures of a Jersey-based high school soccer team’s two week trip to Europe. Principal photography is set to begin in March 2010 in Rome, Italy. -30-
