- Cinemaa focuses on the process involved in creating a film, from the first draft to post-production. It emphasizes the hardship and devotion a team puts into bringing their baby into the world.
- All across the globe cinema plays a very vital role in people's lives.
Through the 70mm screen(traditionally speaking) a story can reach a worldwide audience and make them laugh, weep or think.
Cinema connects the audience with a wide spectrum of human emotions.
The short film 'Cinemaa' on the other hand explores the emotions of the filmmaker and the writer- the people responsible for making the film a reality.
It draws parallels between the process of pregnancy/ child birth and the process of a film's theatrical release.
The male sperm is equated with the writer's concept which after union with the director's vision (fertilisation) leads to the film director getting pregnant with the screenplay (gestation period).
Just like a baby grows and develops in the womb of the mother, a film is conceived and developed in the director before it is delivered to the world.
The director nurtures the script with his blood and soul and endures all the pains in the process of the making like a mother endures the aches and pains of pregnancy.
Like each pregnancy is unique and comes with its own set of challenges, so does film making.
Just as the mother prepares to give birth and feels a sense of achievement with child birth, the film director who is now heavily pregnant delivers the film successfully to the world and takes a bow.
Fatherhood is just as challenging as motherhood.
The father (writer) feels protective, overwhelming love for the child (the film).
But this process would be incomplete without an obstetrician (the producer)
The obstetrician provides antenatal care ( pre- production) and post natal care( post- production) to the mother.
Similarly the producer plays a significant role in smooth and effortless delivery of the film.
'Cinemaa' uses humour to convey the most dramatic and emotional experience for any film maker.
An Award Winning Silent Short Film Cinemaa- A Film about...a Film. Cinemaa is the story of a film maker's journey presented in a unique metaphorical way.
