Screening Students’ Documentary Films

As part of the ‘Irullenpathu Kuraintha Oli’ event, the nine documentary films produced by the media studies students in different themes for the last two years as a part of their academic activities also were screened at Kailasapathy Auditorium on 18th of June 2018.

The documentaries talked about various unspoken issues and the stories usually sidelined by the main stream media such as the post war challenges in resettlement, the spread of poisonous plant Parthenium in Jaffna Peninsula, difficulties faced by third genders among local community and the life of beggars. The international award winning documentary ‘Munai’ made by Mr. T. Thivakar, a fourth year student in 2017 and who is recently completed the graduation gathered a standing ovation at the screening.
