A chance to win free tickets for film's special screening in your city
A Potpourri of Vestiges Feature
We invite you all to be our PROUD VOLUNTEER for Social Media Promotion Campaign for the film Barefoot to Goa. Please find details of the film and our offer to you for your support as volunteer.
"Barefoot to Goa" which is an indie film and it has been to many film festivals across the world. Now 240 people have contributed fund through our Proud Funding campaign to make film's release possible in theaters and I believe this is the first time happening in India that a public is funding a feature film's release. Film will be released in India in theaters in April 2015.
Film has been receiving very good reviews in media ( Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Hardnews Magazine, TOI (Goa), Herald, etc, as well as from cinema critics) on the basis of its soulful subject. Many reputed world cinema critics are comparing it with well known films. Also it is being considered by critics in the league of Lunchbox, Ship of Theseus etc.
A UK based magazine listed "Barefoot to Goa" as one of the best indie films of 2014 from India along with Ugly, Qissa, Margarita with a Straw, Citylights, etc.

Synopsis : Barefoot to Goa is a tale of two siblings who travel alone from Mumbai to Goa to save their grandmother who is dying of cancer and abandoned and neglected by their parents. It is a parable of relationships getting left behind in our fast paced society. Its mourning of the death of values and beliefs without being mournful. Its a bright film about sadness.
At the end of the release, please see the list of film festivals and some of the media articles / critics reviews in leading newspapers.
