Programmes held in the 1st Asian Children's Film Festival' 2002 |
Indelible Impressions ! "Her father now discusses things with her! Sonali of Pune came to Hyderabad for vacationing. She participated in the Script-writing and Film-making workshops. She was chosen to play one of the leading roles in the film The Sit-ups made by the children. But her vacations ended and she had to go back to Pune. However, she returned to Hyderabad with her father for the 1st ACFF. Her father, a reserved person, was reluctant to come and watch the festival movies. Sonali almost forced him to. When the father saw a couple of films made in other countries he was impressed. He was taken up by the locales and the landscapes, which he loved. On the day, Sonali was still sleeping when her father came and woke her up. "Get ready fast, otherwise we’ll be late" he said. Sonali was stunned. Her father had got interested in the films. Not only this, she discovered he had begun to talk and discuss things with her. A thing he had never done before. ====()====

Theatre Workshops help while making children's film : Prema Karanth "Before making my film Nakkala Rajakumari I conducted a two-day theatre workshop for 30 to 35 children. Malavika, a participant of the workshop played the main role in the film. Today she is a well known actress," Mrs. Prema Karanth, a theatre person and children’s film maker said at the Open Forum on "Fine Arts, Performing Arts and Children’s Films" held at Hari hara Kala Bhavan on November 18 as a part of the ongoing 1 st ACFF. Along with her there were Ritesh Sinha director of The Triumph and Mr. Somarathne Dissanayake Sri Lankan Director of Saroja and Little Angels to answer questions posed by children.
Praneeth began
the question-answer session by asking what exactly is performing arts. Mrs. Prema
Karanth explained and said that the art of talking, singing must be brought
into schools. Text is only for the teachers, the teaching is to be done
through performing art, she said. Answering another question she told that
she has already done this in Delhi and Karnataka's Chaitanya Programme
teaches through songs. To a question why animated films are not as popular as cartoon network films, Ritesh said that treatment in a film was important. In cartoon network attractive colours and treatment is used. As for Disney being still popular, Radhakrishna from the audience pointed out its huge budgets. Ritesh informed that animators like Samant and Shah Ramana are quite popular in Indian circles. There were also posers on whether moral is a must in children’s films and whether fairy tales continue to be relevant for today’s children. To the former, Prema Karanth said that it wasn’t strictly necessary to have morals attached because the children learn as they grow up. And after all, the parents take care of teaching it to them.
