Outstation candidates are not expected to participate but are welcome to attend. We will be screening a few short films from 2.30 p.m and Mr. Kamal Haasan will announce the topic and elaborate on his vision for the group by 4 p.m. We will put up all details online for the benefit of those who could not make it.
Out-of-towners who desire to make it to Chennai are requested to make their own accommodation arrangements. The event would wrap up by 7 p.m. and you will be able to take the last bus or train or flight out.
The hotel closest to the venue is Maurya International, Vadapalani, about a kilometre away from the venue. But since none of us have stayed there, do check it out at your own risk.
Do take a look at the map below for the location of the hotel.
