Panchkula: Looking at the 94 films which were screened till the second day of the fifth edition of Chitra Bharati Film Festival, it is quite apparent that there is no dearth of talent in the country.
Actors, who do not belong to tinsel town, may have less opportunities as compared to their conventional counterparts, but Indian Chitra Sadhana compensates for this.Due to the efforts of this charitable trust, they have got a platform to showcase their talent through big events such as the Chitra Bharati Film Festival, which is currently being organised at Panchkula.
The performances and direction of the films screened during the festival have garnered appreciation from the audience, which has infused the actors and directors with a new bout of confidence.
On the second day of the film festival on Saturday, 47 movies were screened. Many of these films were tear-jerkers, while others highlighted what could be done to become responsible citizens and what are their responsibility towards the nation.
Though these movies carried no “masala”, they were packed with powerful satire, humour and commentary on social evils with a determination to add new dimensions to the emerging India.
Regular rounds of applause by the audience boosted the morale of the film artistes. Of total 133 films slated to be screened during the three-day event, 94 have been shown, while the remaining ones are scheduled for Sunday between 10.30 am and 5.30 pm before the closing ceremony.
For other cinema lovers, a musical night by Himachal Police’s orchestra was the highlight of the event.
Also, nine shorts films were shown in auditorium I, 13 documentaries in auditorium II, two children films in auditorium III, and 12 campus professional (short films) in auditorium IV.
Along with these, in the film festival “master class”, experts Manmohan Vaidya and Adveta Kala shed light on “Indianness in Cinema”.
