A RED carpet reception awaits filmmaker-actress Aparna Sen in Italy where her latest venture, Iti Mrinalini, will flag off the River to River film festival here on Friday.
Sen has made many women-oriented films, but says she doesn’t like to divide the world on the basis of gender. “I do not like to divide the world on the basis of gender. Both men and women have a place in this life of ours and together they complete it!” Sen, who will attend River to River, Italy’s only festival of Indian cinema, in Florence, told IANS in an e-mail interview.
Sen will be in Florence to discuss her work, including The Japanese Wife, which closes the festival on December 9. Mr and Mrs. Iyer is part of a special programme showcasing all the films that have won awards in the past at the same festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Pattinson, Stewart most stylish pair
London: Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been named the most stylish celebrity couple by fashion magazine InStyle. The young pair, who play onscreen lovers in the vampire franchise and are said to be dating in real life too, topped the poll due to Pattinson’s “public-school boy style” and Stewart’s “laid-back American approach to fashion”, Contactmusic reported.
The pair paved its way ahead of fashionable Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick, while Pirates Of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp with wife Vanessa Paradis clinched the third slot. —PTI
