The ace filmmaker
Aribam Syam Sharma
from Manipur was provided with the Red Carpet Welcome in the recent Goa International Film Festival. He spoke at the Press Meet in Goa. He felt proud on the stage, for being honored. But, he asked a piercing question, “Are Indian films only the Films in Hindi or Bollywood?” He added, “When I attend some International film festivals, I was being called upon to the stage as the Indian Filmmaker; but, here in India, I am being called as a Regional filmmaker. It offends me, sometimes. Though we are small filmmakers, we make the movies honestly.” Hope, there is nothing wrong with his question.
