Indo-German team made films in
the pre independence era still have universal significance and relevance, remarked
Meenakshi Shedde, curator of expressionism- the Indo German connection while
delivering a lecture at Nila Theater. Shedde was explaining about the
importance of ‘Expressionism, The Indo German Connection’ category, prior to
the screening of ‘Blue Angle’ the first film screened as part of the package.
She noted that the change in
taste of NRI’s as the potential reason for the degeneration of such venture in
this time of globalization. Shedde also point out that Himansu Rai’s ‘Light of
Asia’ directed by German directed Franz Osten was the first Indo German co-production
film and was a milestone in this venture.
The role of foreign film makers
such as France Austin who directed 14 films in India including ‘Achuth Kanya’
ought to be analyzed in a deeper manner, she said while concluding her talk. A memento
was presented to Meenakshi Shedde by film maker Dr. Biju on the behalf of the
academy.
