Kangra A two-day Him Film Festival was organized in Dharamshala of the district, in which Hindi and Bengali film director Sudipto Sen arrived as the chief guest. Here he said that a leftist ideology is working systematically in the field of film production in the country, which believes that whatever is told to the general public will be accepted. Sudipto Sen, director of “The Kerala Story” said that this is why Indian cinema is known as Bollywood, Hollywood, and Tollywood, and not as Indian cinema.
need for change in thinking
Sudipto Sen often said that Dharamshala is named as Switzerland, but no one ever said that Switzerland is like Dharamshala. This shows our slavery. We have to change this thinking. Sudipto Sen said at the inauguration of Him Film Festival organized by Him Cine Society that after “The Kerala Story” I understood that films are really an effective medium of social change. After making “Kerala Story”, when many legal and financial problems came up, there was a fear whether the film would even be released or not. But the response from the society within two months of its release made me believe that a big change is coming in the country.
Relationship between cinema and common man
In the year 2016, a documentary film festival named Bharatiya Chitra Sadhna was started in Indore. Sudipto Sen, director of the films “Kerala Story” and “Bastar”, while giving information to the cinema lovers about the changing nature of cinema, said that the common man and the problems related to him have disappeared from the cinema screen. Cinema has gone away from the common man and the common man has also distanced himself from cinema.
Background of Sudipto Sen
Let us tell you, Sudipto Sen was born in a Sen family in Siliguri, West Bengal. The national level film festival has been organized on the joint initiative of Him Cine Society and Central University. For the first time, a two-day Him Film Festival has been organized at the national level, in which about 40 films and short films will be presented.
inspiration for youth
Regarding the film “Malana” shown in the festival, MP Bhardwaj appealed to Sudipto Sen to make such films which force the youth to sit for about 50 minutes, because undisciplined youth can never take the country towards progress. . On the first day of the film festival, the film “Malana” directed by National Award winner Vivek Mohan was shown, which was highly appreciated by the youth as well as the audience present in the hall.
