Carlos Eichelmann Kaiser, director of the Mexican film ‘Red Shoes’, said on Saturday that his movie tries to open up the conversation of masculine energy and how to use it in a positive way, but the principle theme is violence against women.
‘Red Shoes’ is one of the 15 films competing in the international competition section for the coveted Golden Peacock prize at the 53rd International Film Festival of India (Iffi) here.
Kaiser, along with producers Alejandro De Icaza and Gabriela Maldonado and lead actress Natalia Solian, interacted with the audience in the ‘Table Talks’ programme here on Saturday.
He said that the main idea for the film originated from the relationship he had with his father.
