Kumar Shahani stresses on preservation of films

I want to see you all. Can you turn some lights on?” said Kumar Shahani as he took the centre stage of Sisir Mancha, along with actor Dhritiman Chatterjee. The filmmaker was attending KIFF 2019 to deliver the Satyajit Ray Memorial Lecture on ‘The Future of the Individual’. After Dhritiman introduced the speaker, Kumar Shahani spoke about his belief that every frame in each and every film needs to be preserved.“I was in China just a couple of weeks ago. I found that the youngsters and teenagers are the most sensitive bunch of people there,” he said.
