The Federal Webinar: Thin line between reality and propaganda in movies
The medium of film, for years, has effectively been used to bring to life forgotten episodes in human history; some end up as masterpieces, and some as plain propaganda
An increasing number of movies are seeking to recapture history these days. However, for the sake of cinema, the plot is sometimes subjected to modifications, with some omissions and some commissions. While that might be alright in most cases, there is a difference when these plot modifications are rather subjectively biased towards or against certain sections of the population.
To discuss this more, The Federal brings you a webinar comprising panellists MK Raghavendra, film scholar and critic and Swarna Kamal awardee; Uma Vangal, Fulbright scholar, Kenyon College and adjunct faculty at ACJ; Maithili Rao, film critic and author; and Amit Behl, actor and honorary general secretary of CINTAA.
