17th Bangalore International Film Festival – Press Release! – Btv Kannada

Films should not be limited to entertainment but should work to mend the vicissitudes of society. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah called for films to be made on inequality, poverty, poverty, Dalits, backward people, farmers, labourers, minorities and women in the society.

Speaking at the inauguration of the 17th Bangalore International Film Festival, which was held today on the grand steps of Vidhana Soudha in the city, he said that movies should show the real state of society. As far as Kannada is concerned, Dr. Rajkumar said that it was possible to see all these in movies.

Through these film festivals one can understand the life, politics and society of the people of other countries. It is necessary to understand inequality and equality. Chirotsava provides a golden opportunity for that. It should be usefully used to bring change in the society. If there is no change, cinema will be limited to entertainment.

We are human beings, we need to live as human beings. Every person should be treated with love and friendship. Only then it is possible to build an egalitarian society. The work of removing discrimination, sentiment and inequality should be done through cinema. Our government cooperates and supports film development. He wished good luck for the film festival so that motion pictures can do the work of improving life.
