A touch of reality DHNS

WeMove Theatre in association with Yuga Creations organised Cinema Santhe, a special premiere of short films by a young bunch of artistes, at K H Kala Soudha, Hanumanthnagar recently.

The event, which was aimed at bridging the gap between film-makers and audience, succeeded in doing so.

Four films — Aaa Raatri, I’m, Kelade Nimageega and Bhagavanta Kai Kotta —were screened for the first time in front of a big audience.

All the movies had different themes and left a lasting impression on the minds of the audience. The best thing about the event was the interaction which made both the audience and film-makers take cinema seriously.

First came Aaa Raatri which turned out be an edge-of-the-seat entertainer for the spectators. Directed by Sujay, the story revolved around a set of mysterious events that happen in one night.

The peaceful life of Ram, the protagonist, gets affected by his neighbour’s murder. Excellent expressions by the actors and wonderful music were highlights of the film.

Next up was a six-minute film, I’m, which dealt with the psychology of a kid. This film was shot in just three days. Athena Clarke, the child artiste, got all the appreciation from the audience.

The next film, Kelade Nimageega, succeeded in touching the hearts of everyone present through the relevance of its subject.

The short movie focussed on the plight of the parents of NRIs, who long for their children to return. The film was rich in technical elements and all the artistes did a commendable job.

Bhagavanta Kai Kotta, directed by Abhijit Mahesh, was a pleasurable experience due to its comic elements. Using humour, the film heralded a subtle message that everyone should be content with whatever they get.

The story was about a greedy person who is always sad though he gets everything he wishes for.

The interactive sessions held after each show were quite lively as the audience gave its feedback instantly. Sampath, a professional, shared his wish to join the team in their upcoming ventures.

“I enjoyed all the movies and each one was different from the other. Aaa Raatri succeeded in creating a kind of fear among the audience while Kelade Nimageega was very touching. The efforts of these young artistes are appreciable. After watching their films, I want to work with them,” he expressed.
