The Story in Brief
Kerala Culture Minister P.C. Vishnunadh has said the activities of the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy will be popularised more. He visited the academy on Saturday and announced that a new exhibition hall on the second floor of its building would be named after director and former chairman Shaji N. Karun.
The minister said entries for the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala were being selected, and the International Film Festival of Kerala will be held in Thiruvananthapuram from December 11 to 18. A jury for the 2025 State Film Awards will be formed soon. The government is considering presenting the State Television Awards for 2024 and 2025 in a single function. Land acquisition for the J.C. Daniel Film City in Kochi is in its final phase, and work could begin before the government completes 100 days, the minister added.
The Indian Opinion
Minister Vishnunadh's visit counters any narrative of uncertainty at the Chalachitra Academy, which he praised as well-run. Yet talk of popularising activities is vague without concrete plans or budget. The real test will be whether the Film City land acquisition actually completes and construction starts within 100 days, as promised.
