Hey NL team, it’s दिवगुन्न btw. I thought it best to type out in Hindi. My suggestion to the NL team is if they can start film discussions, critique and roundtables with sound designers, cinematographers and writers. As somebody who works in the film industry, it is sad to not see good film journalism as most of the space is taken by elite media, and their discussions are very light and lame. I don’t care about celeb fashion and diet routines and would like to know more about the art and craft of the artists. The media at present, such as Film Companion, just invites mainstream directors and actors and have nothing new to ask. I lost my trust when they didn’t have filmmakers like Neeraj Ghaywan, Chaitanya Tamhane and Kanu Behl on their episode on best films of the decade, whilst having celebrated much mediocre films.
