There's a lot of social responsibility: Adoor on filmmaking

Veteran filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan said the process of filmmaking involves a lot of social responsibility as being a director one has to always take care of the feelings of audiences.
Gopalakrishnan, who was addressing a film critic forum at the ongoing South Asian International film festival here, was joined by contemporary filmmaker Girish Kasaravalli.
"When we make a film, we treat the audience with respect. Each member of the audience is an individual being and we have to address those intelligence.
"It is very important. There is a lot of social responsibility that we take on in making of the films," Gopalkrishnan said.

"We need to have the society engaged," Kasaravalli added.
Thirty-five South Asian films, 29 from India, are being screened at the festival, which will run till September 10.
The festival opened yesterday with "Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Ata Hai", a 2016 film from India.
