The room was elegant, with a view of the garden from large, curtained windows. As afternoon turned to dusk, people came in one by one and then in twos and threes. Tea, cookies and delicious little patty were served. The hall started filling and more and more chairs were added. The screening of the best ad films in the world 2015, a selection handpicked by Anvar Alikhan, film buff and critic and ad man, from the ones that won and the ones that didnt though they were almost as good, turned out to be a great experience for the audience who sat through spell bound, but also for us, the team at Kalaa Collective.Anvar was at his most relaxed, and delivered flawlessly. The films were cutting edge, packed with both emotional moments and cinematic excellence. The most rewarding moment comes when someone comes up and asks, when are you having the next event? Adding to the experience was wonderful ambience and service by the Taj Krishna hospitality team. We began on time and ended on time, another source of satisfaction. Here is a mail from someone who came, that says it all....Thank you to everyone who made the evening a success. Just as a film needs an audience, so does an event. The audience's appreciation makes the event.
Dear Parvati
Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity to view some of the best ads in the past year. Needless to say we had a wonderful evening and without this screening wouldn't have even known of some of these master pieces. It was yet again another flawless evening organized by Kalaa Collective and all your hardwork and enthusiasm is seen in every bit of the evening.. You folks continue to amaze me🙏
Truly enjoyed our evening.
Thanks again
Aparna
