Screening of 5 Gujarati films is on at this year's 19th Third Eye Asian Film Festival.The 19th Third Eye Asian Film Festival annually selects the best quality films from different states and languages of India for the audience to watch. This year 5 Gujarati films have been included. These include the National Award winner 'Hellaro' directed by Abhishek Shah. Also films 'Dhad' (Director - Paresh Naik), 'Rewa' (Director - Rahul Bhole & Vineet Kanojia), 21 MU Tiffin (Director - Vijaygiri Bawa) and 'Aa Che Maru Gaam' (Director - Gopi Desai) A short film has also been included._

The movie 'Hellaro' tells the story of social, political, economic and cultural backwardness of women. The Gujarati word 'hellaro' means 'big wave'. This is the story of a village called Samarpura in the Kutch region of 1975. The reason behind the internal strife of women in this small settlement in the desert is, of course, the patriarchal mentality. The so-called masculinity of men who worship women as goddesses in this era, however, takes pleasure in oppressing women.
