\u201cAs children, when we have so many questions in our mind, we are told that we are very small to get answers. And later when we grow up, we are asked why we don\u2019t know the answers, despite being an adult. This is how society defines who at what age is young and old, to suit its expectations of how we should behave.\u201d This irony of our society has been brought into sharp relief, by Himanshu Singh, Director of the IFFI 51 Indian Panorama Non Feature Film Pandhara Chivda.<\/em>\u00a0Singh was addressing a press conference at the 51st<\/sup> International Film Festival of India in Panaji today, January 23, 2021, after the screening of the film at the festival yesterday. Explaining the theme of the film, Singh said: \u201cThe film is about a seven-year-old child Vithu who wants to ask questions about death. In our society today, we can find that sex and death are two things about which we rarely speak in a candid manner.\u201d Hailing from a close-knit rural family, Vithu develops a liking for a particular taste, which comes to him as a surprise. The taste soon begins to occupy Vithu\u2019s world and becomes his sole point of curiosity. The film explores Vithu\u2019s search for the same mouth watering taste. His journey takes unexpected turns, leaving him with enduring lessons for the journey of life.Singh highlighted that children\u2019s innocence should be protected. \u201cThrough Pandhara Chivda, we want to put in front that we need to protect the innocence of our children. We hush them up when they are young, due to which they end up being not bold enough to seek and get answers when they grow up.\u201dResponding to a question on how the practice of respectful questioning can be encouraged and made more acceptable, Singh said: \u201cThere is a need to differentiate between respect and questioning. When a child poses questions, it asks them with all innocence and inquisitiveness.\u00a0 Whether the child questions with respect or not doesn\u2019t matter; the important thing is that the child\u2019s questions need to be answered.\u201dHimanshu, who is a graduate in TV Direction from the reputed Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, explained that the film took birth from his desire to do something together with his batchmates, after passing out from FTII. \u201cWe got this story from our mentor and HOD of Department of TV Direction, Prof. Milind Damle, who is also the producer of the film. Then, we realised it mirrored a lot of our own experiences. It is said that cinema is an extension of our own personal experiences, and we as a team, had this in mind when we made the film. It also enabled us to stay in Pune for a few more months.\u201d The film has been shot entirely in Pune and surrounding areas, with a crew mostly from the FTII.The film has won the prestigious Bronze Elephant Award at the Kid Cinema International Film Festival 2020.Singh thanked the festival organizers for holding the festival amidst the challenging time of COVID. \u201cI am glad that the film has been screened at IFFI and gotten a very good response. I thank the organizers for holding the festival, that too in physical mode; it is a great encouragement for budding artists like us.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
