Children’s Film
Society, India shines out at the 61st National Award
Children’s Film Society, India, an autonomous body under the aegis of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, aimed at providing wholesome entertainment to the child audience of India has won the prestigious Swarna Kamal for Best Children’s Film for its film “Kaphal – Wild Berries” in the category of Best Children’s film.
“Kaphal – Wild Berries”
directed by Batul Mukhtiar is a heart-warming film. Kaphal, the story of
four young kids who break all barriers and superstitions to save the life of an
old lady, much to the surprise of their parents is a trek up the hills in
Garhwal region in Uttarakhand which throws up plenty of surprises, but nothing
is more obvious than innocence of the kids that inhabit the region. Without
being overly sentimental or loud, the film draws attention to so many issues
which kids deal with.
CFSI is
dedicated to furthering ‘A CHILD’S RIGHT TO ENTERTAINMENT’ has taken giant
strides in this direction and it gives me immense pleasure to say that it has
succeeded to a large extent in translating this motto into reality. The
activities at CFSI are multiplying and our organization is effectively trying
to reach out to the children of the country in various innovative and
imaginative ways.
CFSI’s
value based films will indeed prove to be strong guiding force for the Children
of India.
Cheers !
