Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (NR)   
 
Bangalore, Mar 19: The Guinness world record holder for 'Care of Footpath' direction at the tender age of 11 years, Master Kishen has bagged three international awards at the 18th Cairo International Film Festival for children. Earlier the youngest film director and child prodigy had left for Cairo, the capital city of Egypt on a special invite from the Ministry of Culture, on behalf of the Cairo government.  

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday March 18 Shailaja, Kishen's mother informed "Our film got three awards. Two are from the international long and short film competition section selected by the children's international jury, and another from the special international jury. The third award is the prestigious Alexandria International Film Festival Award instituted by the Journalists Syndicate of Egypt, which we never expected."   

It may be recalled that 'Care of Footpath' has won numerous awards like Karnataka state government jury award, best child award etc.  It had the unique honour of being the opening film at the Cyprus international film festival in the non-competitive section. It has won the best film award at Children Oscar at Giffoni film festival while it was the closing film at the Bhutan international film festival. It won the Silver Elephant for best child actor at the Hyderabad Children Film festival.
