IFFI 2009 at Goa: Jahna Barua
Noted Assamese filmmaker Jahna Barua rues there is no mechanism to screen National award winning films in different parts of the country. "It is sad that there is no system in the country where people from different regions can see National award winning films," said Barua, who has won several National awards for films including Aparoopa and Bonani.
Barua opined that evolving such a system is the need of the hour. "People at the helm need to be pressurised so that they get tempted to see each other's best work."
The director is in Goa to attend the special segment '75 years of Assamese Cinema'.
