Nihalsinghe Purogami Theveni Esa to launch at BMICH

Cinema has always been close to his heart. This is no surprise considering his background. As the son of seasoned journalist and former Sarasaviya Editor A D Ranjith Kumara and renowned songstress Damayanthi Jayasuriya, Nuwan Nayanajith has been familiar with the local and global arts scene from his tender years.

Treading along familiar territories once again Nayanajith has taken steps to bring forth his ninth book Nihalsinghe Purogami Theveni Esa (Nihalsinghe: Pioneer of the Third Eye), a biography and critical study of the seasoned director and film industry pioneer. The book launch will take place at the BMICH on February 12 at 3 pm. Though he launched several books between 2010 and 2013, Nayanajith has spent three years scripting his ninth work.

“Film has yet to be recognised as a subject for the university degree. It is mostly taught as part of Mass Communication though it is a globally recognized topic in the world. One of the reasons for this is that there is no research done on film in Sri Lanka. I felt that it is part of my duty to probe into the matter, fill the gaps and make way for the subject to be brought to university education,” he explained.
