Swaminarayan Sanstha Mystic India: an Incredible Journey of
Inspiration is the world's first giant screen epic on India
and was recently released at IMAX and giant screen theaters worldwide.
It tells the true story of Nilkanth Varni's incredible 7-year,
8,000 mile, barefoot pilgrimage of India and captures the many
mysteries and fascinations of India and its rich culture.
At the 10th International Large Format Film Festival at La Geode
in Paris, France, Mystic India won 'The Audience's Choice
Prize'.
During the 20-day festival from 12 to 31 January 2005, nine giant
screen films were selected by the organizers for screening. These
were 'Forces of Nature', 'Nascar', 'Roar -Lions of Kalahari',
'Mystic India', 'Sacred Planet', 'Santa Vs Snowman', 'Top Speed',
'Vikings', '3D Mania'. Each film was screened at different times
everyday enabling the public to plan their viewing schedule.
After each show, the audience were requested to fill in a questionnaire.
Throughout the festival period over 30,000 people viewed the films
and voted for the prizes. Based on this, 'The Audience's Choice
Prize' was awarded to Mystic India. It was by far the
most popular of the films screened.
