In the moment you are weak… When you are not trying to sit on a high horse, the heart is immediately concerned with all classes, privileges and sandy trifles… “
There is an ongoing debate around the late, if it is unpopular, it is believed that the cinema, like the rest of the world, has dominated male eyes. A large majority of pictures and species are designed in such a way that the masculine view stabilizes. How women think, how they treat, how they react, how they love or hate, are often seen by male lenses. Due to the lack of diversity, the cinema takes it to guide the binary approach: the hero or the villain. Most characters have been shown in an absolute theory, deprived of organic layers, heights and lower parts, good or bad, turning and turning, losing the capabilities of strength and weaknesses and propagating or population pieces Pigeons are performed in inhumane characters. It is also permanent for colonial South Asia.
Despite sharing a historical links in cultural, ethnic and literary spheres, countries born in the Indian subcontinent now rarely see the eyes of each other. Or is the same thing made to believe us, thanks to non -stop statements, from the top acillone offered by the same male eyes from the mainstream talk shows. In 1947, the region separated from its heritage. However, it cannot decide its collective thinking to a great extent. Thus, while listening to a famous Indian filmmaker, speaking at a Pakistani Arts College, referring to Bengali cinema to a great extent, explaining the basic importance of women’s eyes – despite half the population, despite women. Most storytelling – Valentine’s Day becomes an opportunity.
A few moments before the annual Faiz Festival, Nandita Das, a self -identified accidental actor and director of Nawazuddin Star Monato, addressed a special gathering at the National College of Arts Auditorium.
The title of the special session was the eyes of women.
On a diverse point of view
“Look, there is always a complicated thing … I can just see my way … and if I have many approaches, I can tell the only way to look better. If I have to face different things. , DAS has established that it is as important to make films with women’s eyes and to see men as much as it is to do justice to women’s stories. I live at a loss.
He said, “As I grew up, I saw about women -based problems, with women’s eyes, the Bengali male directors came from directors,” he added. There were stories, which were the ideas of the novel at the time.
“Even today, Satyajit Ray’s films do not feel history. In contrast, the mainstream films seem archaeological. He added that Bengali cinema plays a major role in Indian Azad Cinema Ethos.
“It is true that only women bring living in women’s eyes. However, we have also forced men to create strong female roles. Removing the binary, he added that men who allowed themselves to be sensitive and prepared their dignity showed this in their everlasting work.
“We say that we have a focus about something, but this is not a divine gift. This is the one we expose our minds and feed it that trains our instincts.
on the nuance
“We lack the nuances in our stories … through our art, we need to move towards more sense of need.”
Das noted that now many sub -stories are coming out not only in art but also in science and literature.
We are learning about some cases in which, for example, a male Nobel laureate in physics was significantly helped by his wife.
So the women who worked on the back stage are slowly but are slowly revealing. Similarly, we are adding sophistication to our stories. What they used to do as indeed and anonymous are now doing it with their property.
Sharinging his views about decolunizing, he said that the sector also needs to be removed from the barriers of binary. To better train one’s eyes, he said that someone needs a reflection. “So when I think it is so, is it my truth … Can I increase my truth? Can I really see it in a significant way?
On conversations and differences
Initially, Das was a bit cautious, saying that she did not want to “release many wings and come as an explosive.” Talking about articles like the first film fire in 1996, in which he was dealt with challenging homosexuality, proximity and dominance, he said he believed that some sensitents here were also here. As it happened in India. The film’s release was delayed by two years and some right -wing people were attacked. The way he received support in India because many people showed to see and supported the idea of the debate whether they agree with the rhetoric or not, the audience’s response encouraged him to reduce his guard. Give
“That’s what universities have to do, whether to create a conducive environment for debate, whether it has not been widely agreed or liked, everyone has been liked.”
To do what feels right
Talking about breaking the industry, Das said that his first notable exhibition on the arts was through a street theater in which he participated as a 12th grade student. A classmate introduced it to the Street Theater Group Jana Natia Manch [birth] Safdar was run by Hashmi, who said, “He really impressed him.” He will also affect the future path of a postgraduate social scientist who has always been knocked out to do something in reality after learning the ideas in his academic work. Das joined the group and started theater with Hashmi. “I don’t know if you know it. I was brutally killed by presenting a drama that I did 50 shows… “
She said that she was in education and professional promises, but for that her urgent need is a matter of maintaining this task. Since then, Das has made close to 50 films as an actor in Bollywood cinema and gave about half a dozen directions.
Mainstream and populism
“If you are very famous, you should think about what you are doing wrong.”
On the famous cinema vs Good cinema suspicious, Das said that to briefly understand the mainstream cinema, someone had to understand that he wants to please many people at the same time. “In the minute you have to please many people, you have to reduce your standards.”
“We say that we have a focus about something, but this is not a divine gift. This is the one we expose our minds and feed it that trains our instincts.
He said that not everything would appeal for everyone, nor would everyone have to understand everything, so someone had to go for a “lowest difference” to become popular.
“He is a good man, he is a bad man. The good man has to be hanged. This is a famous cinema. There is nothing to understand here, there is no dispute, it is the easiest to do.”
He said that when someone added layers to a story, it became complicated and therefore, it is difficult for everyone to disperse. “It is difficult for the public to understand and be associated with stories if we add layers to why the ‘bad guy’ is so bad. Did the events make him a special role? Does any guilt by him? There was no contradictory ideas; did he re -inspired, trusted or deceived… Likewise with good character: Is he absolutely good or selected as good… “
On the Building Blocks
“I have always thought that I would have a baby baby that I teach to be a story and confidence. But then my son was born, and I didn’t know how I would pick him up to take him sensitive and careful. “It seemed that this was a great challenge.”
Spreading this thinking, he noted that it is natural for women to nurture. The reason for this is that all children have both feminine and male energy. “As a society, we sow the seeds of a male child over the development years when we blame them for ‘crying like girls’.
“For men, we decide where they should win, to defeat ‘evil’, and use violence to defeat evil. We confirm violence for them , And our story and cinema reflect it.
“So all kinds of stereotypes for men and women are pushed into our heads at such a young age that it becomes the responsibility of both parents and other people to play their parts.”
“My son is taking care of, and he can easily cry,” he said.
O Love for Lahore
“The Lahore Nahn Vikhaya A. Jemia E. Nine … Lahore is an amazing place. It is regrettable that enough people from India cannot come and see it.
For Das, Lahore is a city that it has been visiting since 1996. “This is a beautiful city and for me the definition of beautiful is something that is really spiritual.” Das said that she for the first time came with Kuldeep Nair to attend the South Asian for Human Rights event where she met Asma Jahangir among other amazing people from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Das said that she has maintained her soul, adding that she loves Lahore food, culture, songs and many festivals in which she participated here. Most importantly, he said, the city has maintained its spirit through incredible people with strict confidence in human rights and democracy.
In India, the filmmaker said that democracy was often considered. “But here you had to fight a lot of battles and so long.
“In some ways, I think you believe, and I keep going back towards belief because, to me, it’s a basic thing, and it’s strong [than the Indians].
In India, Pakistani culture, poetry, dialogue, art and drama are greatly respected. Thanks to the absence of a Bollywood -like film industry in Pakistan individuality and nuances.
