The Sandalwood Industry witnessed the rise of a saga with the launch of a Karnataka Chalanachitra Patrakartara Sangha (Karnataka Film Journalists Association) which represents the voice of Kannada film critics. Plans about the formation of this association were on cards for a long time and due to few legal and technical issues it was stalled for a few months. Official inauguration of the body which is keen in serving the betterment of kannada film journalists held today in a beautiful program organised by the committee.
Logo of the newly formed film journalist association was unveiled by Dr Vijayamma, renowned senior film journalist, Dr Girish Kasaravalli – popular Kannada film director and presidents of various film associations of Kannada film industry.
Speaking on this occasion Dr Vijayamma recalled the days of her involvement with Karnataka Patakartara Parishath, a united front of film journalists of late 70’s and 80’s. She added, there were days where film journalists were not considered mainstream media. We worked hard for the upliftment of film journalists with any personal benefit, where members used to raise funds for the colleagues when they are in a needy situation.
Dr Girish Kasaravalli, renowned film director conveying the best wishes for the new gen film media on forming their new home. He added “Good films like Samskara, School Master, Pinki Yelli didn’t come to limelight due to lack of publicity, while blood shedding film rowdyism got much popularity misinterpreting about our kannada film industry in front of other states. Critics are the key reasons for the growth of kannada film industry”
It was a pleasure to watch veteran film journalists also gracing the occasion during the event. Film PROs, Film correspondents from Channel and online media were also present on this occasion.
Karnataka Chalanachitra Patrakartarasangha is headed under the presidency of senior journalist Ba Na Subrahmanya and SUnayana Suresh as vice president. Chethan Nadiger, Arun Kumar, K H Vasu, Jagadish Kumar and Harish Seenappa are among the board. Executive committee consists of film journalists from print and channel media as well film press photographers.
Chitraranga.com wishes all the members behind the formation of this association a heartly congratulations and best wishes.
