Dear Sir
The Centre Ethique International (International Ethical Center) organised as one of several Inter-Cultural Events for Peace, a theme week-end on the discovery of India at Palavas-les-Flots (France) the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of May 2009. With the presence of many artists, the week-end gave a chance to discover, part of the richness, deepness and variety of Indian culture.
We are in the process of making a 15 minute film presenting the week-end, that will be visible on our web site www.centreethique.com so as to inform the visitors on the events we organise.
The video is mainly edited with material filmed during the week-end itself, however to illustrate a sequence on « Kathakali dances » we wish to include the photography reference « DuhSassaNa Vadham by Kathakali Sadanam » (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Kathaka li_of_kerala.jpg) and therefore ask for your pemission to do so.
Thankyou for replying as soon as it is possible for you.
Best regards
Sandrine Gillet, for the International Ethical Center, centre.ethique@orange.fr, www.centreethique.com
P.S. : Could you state the exact title of the image so that we may acknowledge it in the credits of the film
