November 20, Kathmandu. The 2015 edition of Film South Asia has officially begun with veteran filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s masterclass. During the three-hour-long workshop on Thursday, Gopalakrishnan talked about the state of regional cinema in South Asia, mirroring his own experience as a Malayalam filmmaker based in Kerala for nearly half a decade.
“Cinema is the only medium where meditation is possible,” Gopalakrishnan said during the workshop. “Every detail in a movie—be it lighting, the acting and every other aspect of its production design is there for the viewers to contemplate on.”
On being asked whether regional films will match the popularity of those films produced by Bollywood someday, Gopalakrishnan said, “Bollywood films are made for no particular audience and have to appeal to everybody, and regional cinemas come from a certain milieu and are made for a specific audience. With some filmmakers making specialised films in Bollywood for a certain audience, I think Bollywood is going ‘regional.’”
The opening day of the festival hosted the screening of eight documentaries from student filmmakers across the region. The opening films of the festival were I can’t be mad at Allah by Muhammed Faisal K from India/Myanmar andAuntie Ganga by Asmita Srish of Nepal.
Several other documentaries will be screened during the four day long festival.
