Mangaluru, Feb 10: “Dreams always lead us to achieve something special in our lives. But even when dreaming, we should think in terms of being creative and innovative. When the dream turns into reality it will be the most memorable moment in one's life,” said Manvita Kamath, Sandalwood actress.
She was addressing the gathering at ‘Shooting Stars’ a national-level film-making seminar, panel discussion, workshop and screening organized by the department of Journalism at St Aloysius College (SAC) here on Monday, February 10.
“Intellectualism and humour are the two basic raw materials for making film or working behind the camera. Intellectuals always closely monitor the society. At the same time, people who have humour inside always evaluate the society. When a person having both intellectualism and humour qualities captures the film, it gets filmed in a better way on camera. It gets success in reflecting society in his works. So film makers should always closely monitor society and incidents happening there,” she said.
Fr Praveen Martis who presided over the inaugural ceremony said, “There is no meaning in simply filming the society. Young film makers should make a replica of society by their works. They cannot make this by sitting inside the rooms or studios. They should go out and learn and study the society. Secondly it cannot be by force of time pass. Profession always comes secondary for a film maker or a journalist. Passion leads him to film making or related jobs of journalism industry.”
Dr Alwyn D’Sa, who graced the occasion as chief guest of the event said, “Journalists should always be the instruments and source of truth. They can change society through any mode to new mode. They can alone set guidelines for the society by their positive thinking. “
Manvita Kamath, who also is an alumna of SAC, was felicitated during the inaugural event by dignitaries. Fr Melwyn Pinto HOD, Journalism department welcomed the dignitaries and gathering. Angel, student coordinator, rendered the vote of thanks.
Bhavya Shetty, staff coordinator, Jain, student coordinator, Arun K R, filmmaker, and Febin, associate director were present.
