Red carpet show does no good for Indian cinema, says Shaji
The major talking point among members of the Indian contingent attending the 72nd Cannes Film Festival over the last ten days was the nation's absence from the official selection. This is the first time since 2010 that India does not have a film in Cannes. Shaji N Karun, whose "Swaham" (1994) is the last Indian film to make it to the main Competition of the world's premier film festival exactly 25 years ago, is hardly surprised. Shaji's maiden film, "Piravi", was in the festival's Un Certain Regard section in 1989 and won a Camera d'Or Mention Speciale. His third directorial outing, "Vanaprastham" (1999), also premiered in Un certain Regard, completing a rare Cannes hattrick for an Indian director. "The juries that are set up to select films for the Indian Panorama or the national and state awards have been picking the wrong kind of films," said Shaji, who is Cannes this year as part of an official delegation from India. As a result, we make little headway in international festivals
