Director Ariq Anam Khan told the Business Standard brief details about the renowned festival.
Ariq Anam said, "It is the 3rd Oscar-qualifying festival for my film 'Transit' after it was showcased in Encounters festival in UK and Clermont-Ferrand festival in France."
"Screening of my film 'Transit' will take place in July at Los Angeles," added the director.
