The Waiter and the Cutter...

The spoon that gets wiped on dirty pants, serves the dish.
The hand that cleans the nose, winds the negative.
Thus goes the story of the waiter and the cutter.

A few months back I had approached Mr. T.A. Srinivas of Chitrabharathi, to distribute my Tulu digital film SUDDHA (The Cleansing Rites) in Mangalore. Tulu films have a history of just over thirty five years. On an average, one Tulu film is being made every year. In the two districts in which Tulu language is spoken, Mangalore is the biggest center for such films – followed by Udupi and Putthur. A four weeks run in each of these center is enough for a Tulu film to be considered as successful. If the production costs of the movie is kept to the minimum and if it is intelligently publicized, Tulu films do recover their money. Some producers even swear that profits can be made. Srinivas is from Mangalore. He has made a career out of distributing the Kannada films of Dr. Rajkumar in Coastal Karnataka. His love for his native Tulu language and his fascination for the film production bug, has seen him venture into the making of a couple of Tulu movies which, by his own confessions, were ju...

The content is remarkable, weaving a powerful narrative that resonates deeply. Thoughtfully composed shots and a complementary sound design make it stand out. I found myself captivated by the beauty and depth of the storytelling. Shrikanth Prabhu Filmmaker Bengaluru, Karnataka (26-09-2024) The A I tools you have chosen are perfect and appropriate for our times. The crumbling bent, distorted lines, especially the verticals are true mirroring of the decay and rot that has set in the society. At times the graphics in the background came close to reminding us of the Swastika !! No other country/society can understand this filth you have stirred to touch our conscience. You have used a surgical blade to highlight the plight of the humans crushed in the crossfire of caste, class and the dirty acts of the rogues calling themselves pol...

A grab from the film ''Pamphlet' The success of anything would probably be reflected on how consistent it has been. Judging by this standard, The National Short Film Festival (NSFF), an event organized by the Department of Media and Communication Studies (DMCS) of the Savitribai Phule University in Pune is a highly flourishing film festival, as they have been holding it for nearly eight consecutive years now. The film festival showcases films that are below thirty minutes in length - fiction and nonfiction & student or otherwise - and awards nominal cash prizes in about ten categories. Although the department head Dr Madhavi Reddy is the inspiring force behind the festival, all the planning and execution work is done by her students to whom she has delegated responsibilities. Going by the films that were screened in the film festival, it seems that the film festival over the years has given a much needed fillip to the ever thriving short film making scene in...
