All my artists in Kenjira are tribals and Tribals’ way of life inspired me to make this film; said Manoj Kana, Director of movie Kenjira. Filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan said
, “Cinema is not a consumer product but a creative art” and big
budget films are favoured at the cost of small budget films as they are expected
to earn big returns casting popular actors.The audience for small budget films are there, but the distributors and exhibitors are not willing to help.. We take
the festival route but when we want to sell the films we have to prove that
these films are commercial.”
He was speaking
along with actresses Suhasini Mulay , Usha Jadhav and cinematographer Alphonse Roy about his film Mai Ghat..The movie is about
protracted struggle of a mother to get justice for her son who was wrongly
branded a thief and tortured to death in police custody.
Talking about the
film, Suhasini Mulay said, “We are used to very quick pace, but this film that
is beautifully paced, makes you aware of the fact that the protagonist woman has
been fighting for 13 years. Ananth has used silence so beautifully.” Anant added that. “The film speaks cinematic language.
Speaking about his
film Kenjira director Manoj Kana said. “I am into theatre in Malayalam. I have
worked with tribal a lot and their way of life touched my heart. All my
artists in Kenjira are tribal, this is my third movie after Chayilyam and
Amoeba”. Kana narrated the hurdles faced by him in collecting finance for
this film. He went on to speak about an incident in which a school which was
closed down was ultimately re-started by first attracting students to theatre
being run in the school premises.
