Painter MF Husain's documentary Through The Eyes of the Painter, a film on his own journey through Rajasthan, will finally be screened at the 42nd International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa 2011.
The screening was scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 27 as a tribute to the painter who died recently. It was postponed by the organizers following threats of agitation by the Hindu Janajagran Samiti (HJS), Goa.
Husain, who earned both fame and controversy with his paintings, died in London in June 2011 at the age of 95.
Produced by the Film Division of India, the documentary was set in Rajasthan and records Husain's impression of the state and its people.
It won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
