Argentinean director Fernando Solanas describes struggle of producing films

Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 11 (UNI) Veteran Argentinean director Fernando Solanas opened up about art and the difficulties he faced during the initial stages of career at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) here on Wednesday.
Solanas described the struggle of producing his first two films. Censorship imposed by the Argentinian government in the late 60s prevented film makers from showcasing the art of cinema.
Directors did not have enough freedom to make films true to their own vision. It was extremely hard to book screens for projecting movies. To overcome this, directors would show films at labour party offices and in the privacy of their homes. Solanas mentioned that he tried to depict the life of common people through his films. Audience were so keen to watch films that they even travelled 400-500 km to watch films.
