Lankan cinema looking up - Sumithra Peries
Film producer Sumithra Peries Saturday said Sri Lankan cinema is
looking up.
“Earlier, cinema halls were closed and people were scared to go to
the movies. Cinema has suffered a lot due to lack of opportunities
during the rebellion period,” said the 75- year-old director in Goa,
India. “However, things are changing for better now. Like other
countries, we too are going digital. We can make much more meaningful
movies now. In my opinion, we can talk across borders through this
medium,” Peries said.
She is in Goa to take part in the South Asian Film Festival which
began Thursday.
