Some day in the future
Description
Sri Lanka's veteran realist, Dharmasena Pathiraja, has always been interested in politics and in society's marginal people, and both are important parts of "Some Day in the Future," which had its world premiere at the Singapore International Film Festival, 2002 and was Sri Lanka's entry to the 4th Cinefan Festival, New Delhi, 2002. One of the actors in the film, Wasantha Moragoda, won "Best Upcoming Actor" at the 27th Sri Lankan Sarasavi awards. Says Pathiraja: "This film is based on incidents that took place in the country within the last 20 years and the impact they caused on the lives of people. It also focuses on the wide-ranging problems faced by the youth of this country." The youth he focuses on are two young hired assassins, Lionel and Dhammika, who are hiding out while their deed is on every television. The same television also shows them John Travolta's violence in Pulp Fiction--strictly amateur stuff! While they are hiding in Colombo, Bandarawela and Ahatuwewa drink, try on hip-hop clothes, befriend an upper class girl. It's only a matter of time until their acts catch up to them. Will they escape once again? Awards/Festivals: Nominated Silver Screen Award Best Asian Film Singapore International Film Festival 2002; Jeonju International Film Festival 2009.
