International premiere - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on International premiere at Lokmat Times

IFFI closed its curtains with the International Premiere of veteran Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi's enigmatic film, Perfect Number, which searches for philosophical answers in the mathematical theories of quantum physics and calculus to push the limits of physics, where Science meets Transcendence. The film is about a young Mathematician who meets his long-lost cousin who is wealthy and this meeting changes their lives in various ways.Talking about the inspiration behind making the movie, Krzysztof Zanussi said, "It is inspired by a real person. There is a mathematician in St Petersburg, Russian-Jewish who got an award of 1mn dollars. He sends back the check, saying it is distracting and he doesn't want to be distracted.""So, I think, it is quite remarkable nowadays that after centuries of running after money, maybe now, humanity is getting mature, to understand that possessing money is not essential, and we have other problems which are probably more important and interesting.", he said.Responding to a question about the contradiction between faith and science, which is the main theme of Perfect Number, Krzysztof Zanussi said, "This question is open. We will never know for sure until we die if there is something after or not. I hope there is. That's on the hope that is faith."Speaking about progress and constant changes in its definition, Krzysztof Zanussi, said that progress what was meant as progress 20 years ago is not progressing anymore. "We have to find a new definition of progress or new goals of humanity at least to survive because our existence on this planet is challenged because of ecological catastrophe that we are provoking and because of the weapons that we have created. And these weapons may be the tools of self-destruction," he said.Krzysztof Zanussi observed, "Human being is self-destructive, unlike other animals. So, this is something that bothers me a lot. And probably this is what I tried to put in the film. My concern about the future of the world, about what to do to be sure that humanity will grow."Talking about the film, the story revolves around Joachim, a fulfilled man approaching the end of his life, and a young mathematical genius, David. In 'The Perfect Number', Zanussi returns to the central themes of his work, explored in such classics as 'Crystal Structure' and 'Illumination'. The answers he gives this time are not obvious. A young mathematician-physicist is immersed in his scientific research and in teaching his subjects. Joachim, an elderly Jewish-Polish cousin, would like to donate to David, the wealth accumulated during his lifetime. David rejects this offer since he wants to remain poor but happy. In the city, as word spreads, many believe that David has become very rich, and the young researcher finds himself kidnapped!( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
