My film, A Life Relived, co directed by two others, was screened at the 6th International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala in Trivandrum (7 - 11 June 2013). For me this was a learning experience. Seeing so many documentaries and shorts and meeting so many film makers, exchanging ideas --- all of this plays an essential part in the growth of a film maker especially a first time film maker like me.
What is saddening however, is that there is hardly any funding for documentary films whereas ridiculous films made in Mumbai have crores spent on them, which are gobbled by the public.
When will docus get their rightful place in theatres? Also there is no awareness among people about what a docu is all about. There is a lot to be done and I do hope like-minded people who wish to make a change in the world will help finance and distribute such films.
