Agartala, Feb 23 (PTI) The Tripura government would establish a film institute in the state in collaboration with Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, Kolkata, said State’s Information and Cultural Affairs Minister Sushanta Chowdhury on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The process to establish a film institute has gained pace as a budgetary provision of Rs 5.75 crore would be made this year, he said.<\/p>\n
Chowdhury, who was speaking at the inaugural function of the second Bangladesh Film Festival here, said a team of the department would visit Kolkata to move forward the much awaited plan.<\/p>\n
“We want a team of Satyajit Ray Film Institute also to visit the state in order to expedite the plan of having a film institute”, he said.<\/p>\n
Chowdhury said film industry creates a lot of job opportunities for the professionals as well as young talents. “It is not the fact only actors and actresses make money. A film industry requires a lot of professionals – directors, singers, musicians, light and sound artistes, photographers, lyricists and script writers. Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb himself is interested in the project. We will make it possible at the earliest”, he said.<\/p>\n
“We want expertise from all film institutes and also help from the Bangladesh side in this venture,” the minister said.<\/p>\n
Chowdhury further said the state plans to organize the Bangladesh Film Festival in all the districts and sub-divisions of the state to cement the cultural bond between the people of both sides.<\/p>\n
“We don’t want to confine the film festival in a room. It must be staged in an open sky and I hope this will be possible next time”, he said.<\/p>\n
