Print Documentaries need to capture reality as it really is and realism is an aesthetic treatment of reality, said award winning-film maker P N Ramachandra here yesterday. Interacting with the students and others after screening his significant documentary “Unbearable being of lightness…” under the auspices of Gandhian Centre for Philosophical Arts and Sciences (GCPAS), MAHE, film maker Ramachandra said while documentaries deal with ‘raw reality’, a film maker turns that raw reality into aesthetics of realism. However, in documentaries ‘substance assumes more significance than the aesthetics’, he felt.
Mr. Ramachandra, who is originally from Udupi, studied film making in Pune Film Institute and later settled in Mumbai. His films include ‘Heart Troubles of Ramachand Yavathmal Tirchuinapalli Azamghar’, ‘Suddha’, ‘Putaani Party’, ‘Rice and Rasam’, which have also won the national and international award. Currently he is heading a film school in Karnavati University, Gujarat.
His much discussed film ‘Unbearable being of lightness’ focuses on events which followed research student Rohit Vemula’s suicide at Hyderabad University campus, in 2016. Mr Ramachandra was incidentally present on campus during this episode primarily to conduct a workshop for media students there. Hence, the documentary assumes a lot of significance.
Responding to the queries, film-maker said he has tried to capture immense sadness which prevailed following the students suicide drawing from newspaper reports, student’s suicide note and live footages. He explained the narrative structure of the film with its beginning, middle and end. The students discussed social discrimination, visual metaphors, music and Faiz Ahmad Faiz poem which define the film.
The GCPAS Head Prof. Varadesh Hiregange, Prof. Nemiraj Shetty, Dr. Janardhan Havanje, Dr. Bhramari Shivaprakash and others participated in the discussion. The title of the film reminds one of the novel by famous French writer Milan Kundera.
