*A Seminar on future of Assamese Films*
**
What is water to a plant is like culture & Art in the development of a
society. In the year 1935, Jyoti Prasad Agarwalla gave birth to the first
Assamese film "Joymoti",was the step taken by him to incorporate Culture,Art
& Music in the form of film.At that time Jyoti Prasad Agarwalla had limited
scopes in making the film.The technical professional were hired from outside
of Assam because no one was aware about film making. But now, all have
changed and now film makers have their own staffs. But the question arise
here that why the Assamese films facing its downfall ?
To discuss about the current problems of the Assamese
language films, a seminar " Asomiya Cinemar Bhavishyat" was held at Nowgong
Girls college Auditorium which was organised by a leading educational
institute of the town,Renaissance Jr. College on sunday noon.The seminar was
attended by reknown film actor & director Kulada Kumar Bhattacharya.The
seminar was also graced by noted film maker Arup Manna and film researcher
Pulak Talukdar.In the seminar the invited guest placed their opinions
infront of the audiences regarding Assamese films.Kulada Kumar Bhattacharya
on his speech said that there are numerous demerits in Assamese films for
which the film industry is facing its downfall.According to him,film making
is an art,so every film makers should act professionally while making a
film.Now a days,the film makers pay attention to make cheap movies.A good
film should have a strong script so that it can hold its audiences from the
beginning to the end.
According to Arup Manna & Pulak Talukdar, the Assamese film
makers are using same patterns and treatments in making films from long
decades which should be immidiately change to make the films tateful for the
cinegoers.Moreover,Manna also highlighted the insecure conditions of most of
our cinema halls which has also resulted the decreasing rate of cine
viewers.Another important point which he brought into light is that still
there is not even a single distributor of Assamese films in the state for
which the film makers faces lots of trouble in releasing the regional
language films.He also pointed out that the state government should take
necessary initiative and to frame certain rules and regulations.Manna also
said that most of the cinema halls in Assam doesnot want to release or run
an Assamese movie.In that case, state government must take steps against
those halls which cause hindrance in projecting an Assamese film. He further
added that like abroad,our educational institutes should have subject on
film making,so that the young generation can find interested in this
art.All of the three urged the students and audiences to watch good movies
of any language. At the end of the seminar,the students and present
audiences were asked to interact with the invited guest.
