Short Films Can Leave a Big Impact: Deepak Dua

– Prem Sagar

A short film screening and discussion program was organized by Motilal Nehru College of Delhi University’s Film Screening Committee. Talking about the technique, subject and impact of short films, Deepak Dua, National Award winner for Best Film Critic, said that short films are small in their length but not in their impact. He said that whether you make a small film or a big film, what the film says should not be lost from your hands.

Writer Maneka Tripathi said that there is a need to make films on culture. The things that are being lost today can be preserved through film. On this occasion, many short films were screened and among them ‘Nanhi’ and ‘Maryada 1.0’ received awards. Committee convener Anirudh Sudhanshu said that good films refine the society because cinema has the power to change the world. During this, a film based competition was also organized and prizes were given to the winners.
