The fourth day of International
Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala is all set to hit the screens
with a total of 30 documentaries and short films. Out of the 30, a large part
is non-Indian ones which will provide a chance for the delegates to get
familiar with different styles of treatment along with some of the trademarked
styles of making in this arena. Vision Du Reel winner ‘Tea or Electricty’ by
Jerome Le Maire will be the first screening for today and the day will move on
with a wide range of screenings under various categories leaving the delegates
only with a puzzled face on ‘which to miss and which to go for?’ as each one is
best as same as the other.
The day will also screen the famous works of
unchallenged giants and all time legends of documentary films Noel Burch (Red
Hollywood) and Deepa Dhanraj (The Advocate) under their retro sections. ‘The
Genius of Ramanujan’ by Nandan Kudhyadi is a documentary that deals with the
life of Indian icon of mathematics Shrinivasa Ramanujan who always travelled
through his own ways in the arena of figures and calculations. This documentary
is a definite attention grabber of the day.
The short documentary, ‘Cancer
Katha’ by Vasudha Joshi is the story of the director’s fight with cancer which
will help cancer patients to understand and fight the disease. Cancer Kadha is
also the recipient of Special Jury Award in the 60th National Film
Awards 2013. ‘Ningal Aranaye kando’ by Sunanda Bhat narrates the change at fast
pace and lose to nature and human relations that occurs on the name of
development in the Wayanad regions. The documentary is under the competition
for the long documentaries and will grab many eyes for the screening.
The day will come to an end with the screening
of six of the most noted documentaries of all time under the ‘history of docs’
section thus providing the audience with a deep and un-forgetful insight into
the history of documentary films.
