Aamir Khan’s film festival trip reflects cross-cultural exchange: Australian High Commissioner

Bengaluru: The Australian Consulate-General in Bengaluru hosted a screening of the film Sweet As at Sabha Bengaluru on Monday.

The event featured a conversation between Australian High Commissioner Philip Green and museum management expert Kamini Sawhney on the cultural ties between India and Australia.

“I met Bollywood actor Aamir Khan while he was heading to Melbourne for the Indian Film Festival, the biggest Indian film festival held outside India. That speaks volumes about the exchange of culture,” Green said.

He expressed hope for a deeper cultural engagement between the two countries.

'Sweet As' is a coming-of-age drama centred on a 15-year-old Indigenous Australian girl from a troubled home. The film highlights the importance of inclusion for marginalised communities.
