Noted lyricist and Oscar Winner Gulzar today said there was an urgent need to redefine Indian cinema rather than just ‘ children’s films ‘.
He said there the film industry has to re-orient itself reflect the aspirations and needs of the children of the contemporary period rather than ‘ sermonizing or preaching about value systems that have been fast eroding in the present society .
Gulzar was speaking at the Open Forum on the theme of ‘Is it time to re-define Children’s cinema? ‘ got up at the 16th International Children’s Film Festival at Hyderabad .
He said the Indian film industry has still not realized the huge potential of the children’s films market. “One could say that most of the films made in Bollywood are just childish even when they were made for Adults , due to their lack of social perspective and insensitive to aspirations of children “.
He said it was difficult to make children films as ‘children films need original ideas and can not be produced on borrowed thoughts and themes”.
Eminent director of award winning children’s films Vishal Bharadwaj lamented that the Indian children films were insensitive to childrens feelings and sentiments.
He said it was time all film makers said ‘ Yes to Kids ‘ and produced films which reflected the issues that affected them in their daily chores- like travel in buses, school , home and at play ground . “ Don’t look down on children “ he said indicating that children are more mature than adults and they knew what was best suited for them .
Bharadwaj said it was a misnomer that children’s films did not attract adult crowds.
“Good children’s films, particularly the animation films had large adult following. The films of Walt Disney, which had both emotions and humor, are an example “, he said.
Virendra Saini , director of the film ‘ kabhi pass kabhi fail ‘ said children’s film makers should take note of the demands of child audience . “Children look up for some action, comedy and entertainment in every film and unless the films provide it they will not patronize it “.
Saini said child psychology also paid a great role in making films to the taste of children.
“Like children will not eat food unless it appealed to them, they will also not see the unpalatable films “, he said.
The German film maker and a member of the jury international jury of the 16th ICFF Ms. Uta Hartmann said the Indian children’s films should also respond to the aspirations of people from lower income strata . “Children’s Films should be seamless and also cross the income and social barriers “, she said.
Shushovan Bannerji, CEO of Children’s Film Society of India who moderated the debate in the Open forum kept the pace of the discussions in which film critics, film makers and activists of the Children’s film movements participated
The focus of the children’s films responding to burning issues of rural children also came under discussion. To a question as to whether the children script writers help to improve the content and quality of Indian children’s films? , Gulzar said the children should learn the art of story telling and script writing.
“Only then they can put their feelings effectively on paper for the benefit of other children “.
