No work of art directly or indirectly changes society or human beings. However, cinema has the power to influence the human mind.

Malayalam Cinema

Malayalam cinema is a force to reckon with in the domain of Indian cinema. Though our cinema industry caters to the population of a small geographical area, it produces an average of 70 films a year and boasts of internationally acclaimed directors, script writers, technicians as well as actors of superior calibre.

Over the years, outstanding directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, G. Aravindan, M. T. Vasudevan Nair and Shaji N. Karun won acclaim for their films at various international film festivals, taking Malayalam cinema to new heights. It has been among the frontrunners at the annual national film awards for many decades now.

Though the industry had to overcome a few challenges in the beginning, it has been a saga of success, right from the production of its first film, Vigathakumaran. In its history, the story of Malayalam cinema’s rise can be divided into four stages:

The Degrading Indian cinema

Cinema is a form of art and like any other form of art it should be able to move the audience heart. It should be able to artistically express the creator’s emotions or views through symbolic gestures or simplistic acting or even through other experimental methods. Everything and anything can be cinema whether it be politics or simple day to day conversations or even a plant pot at a window or a building that has been for ages.

So while we have such bizarre and beautiful medium for expressing our emotions Indian cinema over the past 20 years or so haven’t been able to convey this. Statistics says that the Indian film industry produces about over 1500 movies a year from all different languages, but a very few only hit the mark. Movies nowadays have boiled down to 5 dance sequences, 6 fights, series of random (supposedly funny) jokes placed into a mix without order, actors/actress (basically models) who do not know the basics of acting and spend more of the time doing ads than trying to improve their skills and a boring joke for a script/plot. Only a very selected few films show a genuine passion for the medium utilising every aspect possible to convey their intention.

Why is it so, we once had world renowned film makers like Satyajit Ray, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, G Aravindan, Padmarajan, Adoor Gopalakrishnan and now we have the most generic no-vision directors who makes movies which the audience will forget within the 2 weeks after viewing. And imo the major fault fall’s on us as an audience, no i do not mean that the filmmakers are innocent in this but if we as an audience haven’t promoted such movies in the first place this situation could have been avoided. And instead if we had asked for more creating and innovative content we could have held her our head up infront of international audience like the korean film industry. A solution i would suggest is for creative fimmakers to come forward and make good movies and show people that things doesn’t need to be this way.

A conversation that began in 2020 across three continents is finally nearing its conclusion. Malayalam master G Aravindan’s fourth feature Kummatty (1979) is in the final stages of restoration by the World Cinema Foundation in the US, India’s Film Heritage Foundation and the Italian archive Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna.

A team of 20 people at L’Immagine Ritrovata – the reputed restoration laboratory in Bologna, Italy – has been working on the project for the past four months. The completed film is scheduled to be premiered on July 25 at the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival, which showcases classics and restored titles.

“It all began because of my partnership with the World Cinema Project,” said Film Heritage Foundation founder Shivendra Singh Dungarpur. The World Cinema Project, instituted by Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Foundation, focuses on restoring and preserving forgotten or neglected classics. In 2012, Dungarpur and Scorsese had previously collaborated to restore Uday Shankar’s Kalpana, made in 1948.

“They asked me which film we would like to restore and partner on next,” Dungarpur told Scroll.in. “I mentioned Aravindan, since he is someone who hasn’t gotten his due.”

Dungarpur and Scorsese are also teaming up on Thampu, Aravindan’s black-and-white classic from 1978 about the workings of a circus.

“Aravindan was a visionary director and Kummatty is considered among his greatest work,” Scorsese said...
