Best Editing in A Regional Film
So unlike previous
years I'm not going to go in depth into things about the award at hand since
each award gets a post of its own, unless there is certain things to add at the
beginning.
Anyways let's move
on.
So as previously
mentioned; the first awards section is for Regional Cinema.
The first award is
as titled above for Best Editing in a Regional Film, no nominees.
So the winner for Best Editing in A Regional Film is…
Aditya Vikram
Sengupta for Asha Jaoar Majhe [Labour of Love]
The bengali language
romantic drama is very much in the hands of Sengupta, who not only edits but
also shoots, writes, directs and produces this 84 minute silent masterpiece.
Though the film does
not win on the mere basis that it is simply so short but rather it does
something that normally wouldn't count for strong editing. With its silent and
gradually building moments it actually makes you feel every second of the film,
of this simple genius narrative.
Not in a bad way
that bores you, while most good films are meant to make you feel where did time
pass by; this makes you believe that time is a constant there and it works in
building and interesting world and atmosphere for the characters and then eventually
bringing the separated by circumstances couple together.
It helps that
Sengupta himself is the editor, understanding the value of each frame in the
film that echoes a certain sentiment when seamlessly pieced together.
Unlike most
directors he doesn't need to be indulgent on the edit table as the film is
already so meticulously and precisely worked out that the flow in the edit
comes together on its own, of course not denying his efforts.
So there you have
it, the first winner of the 2016 edition of the HIndie Awards.
Up Next: A mythical
and mystical Punjab, the simmering beauty of the countryside captured in the
eyes of young boys with big adventures, the painstaking beauty of a world where
loneliness threatens to creep in, the tranquility in the lands shared by a boy
with big dreams and his grandfather and the simplicity of the Indian courtroom…
...The HIndie Award
for Best Cinematography in a Regional Film.
