There is no stopping for Full Plate, as the film is charging from one global festival to another. After the glorious world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival, actor Kirti Kulhari-starrer Full Plate- directed by Tannishtha Chatterjee- will be the opening feature of the Indian Film Festival of Sydney on October 9. Full Plate is billed as a moving, intimate exploration of food, faith, and everyday resilience. In the film, which debuted with massive acclaim last month at Busan, Kulhari plays a homemaker-turned-cook battling customs, patriarchy, and stereotypes with her food.
As a multi-faceted performer who has championed meaningful cinema and brought to life memorable female characters on screen, Kulhari will also be seen in a special ‘Women in Film’ panel discussion at the festival.
