Mani Ratnam at CineFan Film Festival 2000, with Aruna Vasudev

Mani Ratnam says "I think there is something very very important happening to have a festival for ages and I think it is rightly named Cinefan." Mani Ratnam, originally Gopala Ratnam Subramaniam, Indian filmmaker noted for his popular films in both Tamil and Hindi cinema. He made his first movie Pallavi Anu Pallavi in 1983. The success of Mouna ragam (1986; “A Silent Symphony”) established him as a talented director in Tamil-language cinema. His work within the conventional parameters of commercially oriented cinema is characterized by experimentation in imagery, use of colour and lighting, and camera movement. Despite an almost surreal style characterized by soft-focus shots, flare filters, and backlit sequences, Ratnam’s art shows the heavy influence of Hollywood conventions and music videos.
