Children are best actors as they channelise their raw energy on screen: Rajdeep Paul

Children are best actors as they channelise their raw energy on screen: Rajdeep Paul

Panaji, Nov 24 (UNI) Rajdeep Paul, the director of the Odia non-feature film Malai, has said that children were the best actors as they are able to channelize their raw energy on the screen.
Addressing a press conference at the media centre here, he said,'Children were the best actors. They are able to channelize their raw energy on to the screen. Once they get involved in the story, they create their own dialogues. During the shoot itself, one doesn’t really have to direct them, as they keep learning and improvising on their own, which is incredible.'
The film Malai revolves around an impoverished little boy from a hinterland village in Odisha, who discovers the dark side of the Great Indian Wedding in his quest to get his favourite ice-cream.
Sarmistha Maiti, co-director of the film, commented on the persistence of insensitive practices in the Indian society.
She cited the example of people from the poor strata of the society having to carry heavy lamp-lights on their heads during wedding processions.
She said their aim was to bring to the audience the harsh reality via a more engaging medium of cinema.
Rajdeep Paul and Sarmistha Maiti are National Award Winning filmmakers. Their short films include The Woman...and the Man, 3 on a Bed etc.
Malai, a 14-minute-long film is being screened in the non-feature films section of Indian Panorama at the ongoing 49th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.
