Masters of Sri Lanka Cinema in the 23th Vesoul International Film Festival

If Sri Lanka movies had for many years been mistaken with Bollywood movies because of the huge reign of imported Indian movies and the many (unofficial) local remakes, the industry has finally built its own identity and shaped one of world’s most poetic cinematographies – as proved by two Golden Cyclos in 2012 and 2013 for August Drizzle by Aruna Jayawardanaand With Your Without You by Prasanna Vithanage.

Lester James Peries (97 years), the « Father of Sri Lanka Cinema », has not only contributed to the founding of local industry after popular success of his Rekava (Line of Destiny) in 1956, but he also proved there could be a more realistic and personal approach other than the ever-repeating musical formula movies made in Bollywood.

The success of his Gamperaliya (The Changing Village) in 1963 has paved the way for a whole new generation of young and talented directors such as Sumitra Peries, Siri Gunasinghe, Mahagama Sekera, Dharmasena Pathiraja, Dharmasiri Bandaranayakeor, more recently, Prasanna Vithanage, Vasantha Obeyesekera, Asoka Handagama, Prasanna Jayakody or Vimukthi Jayasundara. They all took huge inspiration from their country’s troubled history to sign some worldwide successes such as Walls Within (1997) or The Forsaken Land(2005).

Sri Lanka has a very rich cultural cinematographic heritage, maybe lesser-known as other countries, but not less in quality. In order to honor its mission to discover and re-discover forgotten or long-lost masterpieces, Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema is proud to introduce its audiences to Sri Lanka Cinema.

ග්‍රැෆයිට් සෑදී ඇත්තේ ග්‍රැෆින් නමින් නම් කෙරෙන ඒක පරමාණුක ස්ථර ගනනාවකිනි. මේ ග්‍රැෆින් යනු ලෝකයේ අනාගතය වෙනස් කල හැකි උපාය මාර්ගික ඛනිජයක් ( strategic mineral ) ලෙස හැඳින්…
