Paweł Pawlikowski’s “Fatherland,” which earned him the best director prize at Cannes this year, will open the 57th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), set for Nov. 20-28 in Goa.

Nitesh Tiwari’s “Ramayana: Rise of a Legend” will open the festival’s BRICS showcase, and Aditya Dhar’s Bollywood feature “Dhurandhar” will open the Indian Panorama.

Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant unveiled the program at a curtain-raiser press conference in the state, joined by festival director Ashutosh Gowariker, the filmmaker behind “Lagaan.” Organizers received more than 1,900 submissions from 137 countries for this edition, and the lineup spans more than 150 international films from 86 countries.
