Applause for acceptance
Staff Reporter
Joshi is now working on ‘Cycle,’ a Hindi film about a child obsessed with cycles
CHENNAI: As little Shree slipped his hand into his mother’s, the audience burst into applause.
The journey of a boy in coming to terms with his mother’s schizophrenic condition was traced in the short film ‘Sweekar’ (acceptance), directed by Pune-based filmmaker Mangesh Joshi.
This film won the first prize in the short film competition organised as part of ‘Frame of Mind,’ a film festival on mental health, organised by Schizophrenia Research Foundation (SCARF).
“I am a storyteller,” Mr. Joshi said, refusing the label of a documentary filmmaker or a commercial director. A chemical engineer, Mr. Joshi did a short stint at a biotechnology firm before becoming an assistant director for a Marathi serial.
He now freelances for various organisations in making documentaries and short films.
“‘Sweekar’ cost me Rs. 2,000,” he said.
All his films are self-financed. Currently, he is working on ‘Cycle,’ a Hindi film about a child obsessed with cycles.
