Revisiting Indian Cinema of 10's (A Sunday Digest) - When it comes to New Age
What has New Age filmmaking brought to Indian Cinema?
2020 is a landmark year when it comes to movies, with the last decade witnessing a great transformation in Auteurism, Story-telling and of-course, audience. Talk of Content Heroism or Technical brilliance in a movie, the ‘10s flicks peaked the curb over them. The trends which prevailed over the decade influenced both the Veteran, aspiring and on the rise filmmakers along with tailoring the expectations of we as the audience to a high and rich standard.
The decade of 10s has seen a tremendous rise in young Filmmakers given a chance to prove their worth for the sense of cinema just through Short Films. Earlier, the case was to join as an AD or Writer under Senior Technician and slowly climb up the ladder to become the Film-Maker that one wished for years ago. This Smartphone generation created and earned chances out of their pockets, both literally and figuratively, with their Phone Cameras and a Short story to express.
This new wave of Short Film to Feature Film Makers cleared the stagnation of Squealing Ideas in the Indian Cinema to give a more Verbose, Nuanced and Artistic Storytelling.
Pizza is one among the many Debut films from Short Film Makers like Sudheer Varma’s Crime-Con-Comedy Swamy Ra Ra(2013), Lijo Jose Pellisery’s Nayakan(2010) and the recent Adithya Dhar’s Uri: The Surgical Strike(2019). A Short Film Director who has also won the “National Award for Best Picture” for his very first feature Rom-com Pellichoopulu(2016) by Tharun Bhasker was both Critically and Commercially acclaimed. These Short filmmakers were clean of their sense of Cinema or more precisely Auteurism and wanted to tell their stories the way they wanted to. This big change led to a Dominoes effect in the Design of this beautiful Art form which will be discussed next Sunday.
