'Symphony of Lights' reminds me of the purpose of the very gracious screening of the SIFF non-finalists - to give creators of the moving image a platform to showcase their works, whatever the motivation of creating that image. 'Symphony of Lights', in a totally biased sweeping statement, is a STB tourism video, shot in Little India during Deepavali. The shots, though conventional, are pleasingly framed and coloured. And the editing kind-of 'boxes' the images up in a very 'social-studies' kind if way. Almost like a video made for educating purposes.
