Who said Tamils don't appreciate artistic movies?

	I'm writing to inform you that the National Award winning Tamil movie, Sringaram, was screened in Sydney today. Who said Tamil audiences appreciation towards artistic movies is very low? The movie was supposed to run only for a single screening in Sydney, but the audience demanded additional screenings. And due to houseful shows, Sringaram was screened several times at the prestigious Adelaide Festival this year. The Adealide festival is a major Australian Arts festival Sringaram is directed by Sharada Ramanathan, and tells the story of a Devadasi temple dancer in search of her identity, and her discovery of emancipation. This elegant and contemporary presentation of a tradition-bound India of the 1920s is a glorious mélange of stunning visuals and magnificent music. "Sringaram is a gentle exploration of love in all its hues - physical, emotional and spiritual".
	After the screening, there was a Q&A with the director. I'm not trying to boast about the success of this movie but I'm trying to point out that there is also a demand for artistic Tamil films with an international audience.
