New Delhi, Aug 27 (PTI) He has given some of the finest
work to the Indian cinema but noted film director Adoor
Gopalakrishnan believes that movies today fail to make an
impact on the audience.
"If you want to be mature as a filmmaker, you have to be
ruthless with your film only then will it make an impact on
the audience. The film should always keep you on the edge and
curious about what is going to happen next. Todays films have
become repetitive," Adoor said.
The 70-year-old director was in the capital to attend
Jeevika Film Festival, an organisation that showcases socially
relevant documentaries by professional and amateur filmmakers.
Known for his films like 'Swayamvaram', 'Kodiyettam',
'Elippathayam' and documentaries, Adoor says that irrespective
of enthusiasm and creativity one has to think about the
logistics.
"I am really happy that Jeevika is giving a platform to
aspiring filmmakers to show their talent and not just that
they also are funding some of the films. One has to think
about the logistics no matter how much talent you have," said
Gopalakrishnan.
Director of the film festival Manoj Mathew said, "The
purpose of the films shown here is to spread the message
across masses about the social issues prevailing in the
society and how to tackle them. Its the eighth year of the
festival and we hope that it continues to makes a difference
in some lives." PTI
