He is a major influence on other film makers all over the world and this fest is a nice way to celebrate his birth centenary," Hiren Gada, director of Shemaroo Entertainment, said.<br /><br />Kurosawa, born in March 1910, directed 30 films in his career and won the Academy award for Lifetime Achievement.
