Mangalore, January 19: Noted cinematographer G S Bhaskar said that good films can bring sensitivity back into people, who lose the feelings in their day-to-day grind.
He was speaking after inaugurating the four-day film festival organised by Sahamatha Film Society and SDM College of Business Management on the premises of the latter on Thursday.
He pointed out that there are four kinds of cinemas such as entertainment made for sensory pleasure, documentaries for information, advertising and commercial films and art films which aim to enhance the mind.
“Cinema is an experiential medium and one will understand it better if he experiences it”, he said.
He also said that films sensitised people by holding a mirror to them and showing the path to be followed. “Films will not lead to a revolution, but just tell the ground reality,” he added.
Mangalore-based film maker Sadananda Suvarna said one of the rules with the Censor Board was that the one who committed crime had to be punished in a film. He also said that the society should encourage good films.
SDM College of Business Management Director Dr Devraj K was also present.
The inauguration was followed by the screening of Kannada film 'Kubi Mattu Iyala' which was directed by Sadananda Suvarna. The film had received the State award for Best Director, Best Story and Best Film in the year 1992.
