Even as filmmakers who think beyond the formula for box office success continue to lament a lack of patronage, a group of filmmakers has ventured out to make a difference. With Nammura Chitrotsava, this group is taking quality cinema to the taluks and rural pockets of Karnataka.
“Chitrasamooha, a group headed by eminent filmmaker Girish Kasaravalli, is screening these films in hired theatres,” filmmaker B S Lingadevaru said on Sunday. ‘Nammura Chitrotsava’ was kicked off in Chikkanayakanahalli and has already travelled to many areas including Moodbidri and Gubbi. The group is screening films including ‘Thaayi’, ‘Naayi Neralu’, ‘Cyanide’, ‘Daatu’ and ‘Moggina Jade’.
