27th September 2020, Book A Workshop face-to-face
A brief workshop that focused on appreciation of two iconic feature films and a short film- 1960 Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, the French classic thriller, 1955 ‘Les Diaboliques’ and Short Film Maya by Vikas Chandra.
The workshop threw light on how to read two films of similar genre that has different treatments. The similarities were listed and the major differences were analyzed in depth that made both the films unique for the time it was shot.
Namratha shared her movie watching experiences at the Film institute Pune, and listed few other must watch films. Her approach on bringing in Vikas Chandra, the director of Maya to the workshop was very noble. It gave an insight of the maker’s mind and his vision behind making a novel film like Maya.
An exceptional workshop, that provided me with a template to decipher films from the maker’s point of view.
