Kolkata/IBNS: The International Institute of Photography and Arts, Kolkata (IIPK) held a panel discussion on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on films and filmmaking as a part of its Foundation Month Celebrations, and in remembering its founder, eminent photographer and mentor, the late Sanat Ghosh.

The panelists included eminent actress Rituparna Sengupta, a patron of the IIPK, well-known cinematographer and director Premendu Bikash Chaki and renowned look planner Aniruddha Chakladar, both of whom are members of the IIPK’s faculty.

Rituparna stated that the “pandemic has certainly impacted the film industry adversely, but I am very hopeful that soon we shall be able to resume normalcy.”

While talking of whether OTT platforms can ever lure away the cinema-goers from cinema halls, Premendra Bikash Chaki said, “The experience of watching a film on a large screen is so exhilarating that no other format can ever wean them away from the movie halls.”
