Famed director Shyama Prasad
opened up that it’s more interesting to portray female emotions, while speaking
on the selection of subjects for his film. He was at ‘meet the director’
session held as a part of the sixth day of 18th IFFK. “I do not
choose just for the adventure of choosing, but choose the stories that I
believe to be true”, he expressed.
Speaking on his open style of
ending a story, Shayama Prasad said that is done for the audience to connect with
the film in their own way, even though many a times they happen by chance. “My
films basically deal with the life that never comes in neat package”, he added.
On answering about role of music in films, he said that it is a way of
promoting a film and considers them as are necessary evil.
Producer Serik Abhishev of Kazakhstan
film ‘Constructors’, told that the Kazakh films are generally a means to
connect the society and not to entertain the people. “Only 20 films a year can
be produced in the country”, he said. He reveled that the film is been banned
by his government as it portrays the real social issues in the country. He
sadly added that not even commercial films in Kazakhstan have an economic gain.
Brazilian filmmaker Sergio
Andrade said that his film, ‘Jonathan Forest’, deals with the exploitation of
forest. “Despite of having the film pin pointing the nature, no interventions
from the government have obstructed the film at any stage”, he said. Andrade
added that the film was produced by the government itself. “And for this, the
script was shortlisted, among other five, from 200”, he revealed. As concluding
note, the director said that the film is expected to be in Brazilian theaters
by January next year.
