The December incident of Gangrape in Delhi caused a thought stirring revolt in the country. A short film titled ‘Maya’ has been based on the incident and this film has now made it to the short film category of the Cannes festival.
The people who have made the film are three media professionals who are also friends. Anmol Karnik has directed the film and the other two professionals are Saloni Choujar and Sanjeev Mallik. They have made their film by themselves, including arrangement of equipment, editing and even acting in the film. The incident touched them in such a way that they decided they should make a movie on the subject.
Karnik told the Times of India about making the film. “Everyone here in Mumbai was talking about the incident, discussing it and questioning the happenings. People were debating as to whether the victim was responsible for what happened, or how to perceive the situation.

When it comes to the coverage of the 66th Cannes Film Festival starting today, mainstream media outlets’ obsession with celebrities seems to be getting the better of them. Playboy Girl Sherlyn Chopra and Ameesha Patel and the likes are being written about with equal enthusiasm (quite often even higher) than the films and people who will actually represent India at Cannes 2013.
Cannes coverage of the Indian press is as ill-informed and misleading as it’s bizarre. Quite often the most talked about titles are those which don’t even feature in the selection while some have market screenings. It’s obvious that the festival coverage by the Indian mainstream media is driven by ignorance and publicists.
Here are some Cannes headlines from mainstream media:-
Rajinikanth takes Kochadaiyaan to Cannes Film Festival – Hindustran Times
