Shaunak Sen, jo Indian short film “Bittu” ke director hai, haal hi mein Oscars mein is film ki haar ke baad apni awaaz buland ki hai. Is film ko Best Live Action Short Film category mein shortlist kiya gaya tha, lekin “Two Distant Strangers” se haar gayi.
Press se baat karte hue, Sen ne kaha, “Haar ke baad hum thode udaas the, lekin humein apne kaam par garv hai. “Bittu” ne hum sab ke liye pyaar ki mehnat ka kaam kiya hai, aur yeh dekh kar bahut accha laga ki yeh film duniya bhar ke logon se jude hai.”
“Bittu” ek chhoti si gaon ki ladki ki kahaani hai, jise apne school mein ek haadse ke baad apni galtiyon ka saamna karna padta hai. Yeh film Uttarakhand ke Himalaya parvat par shot ki gayi hai aur ismein non-professional actors ka kaam hai.
Is film ko release hone ke baad bahut saare critics ne iski tareef ki hai, jismein complex social issues ko nuanced tareeke se dikhaya gaya hai. Yeh film duniya bhar ke film festivals mein bhi bahut saare awards jeeti hai, jaise ki 2020 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles mein Grand Jury Prize.
Oscars mein haar ke baad bhi, Sen aur unke team ne apne kaam mein important stories dikhane ka iraada nahi badla hai. Unhone kaha, “Hum cinema ke power mein vishwaas rakhte hain aur hum aage bhi stories batate rahenge jo mahatvapoorn hai.”
“Bittu” ki recognition Oscars mein, Indian cinema ke global stage mein badhte hue prabhav ki nishani hai. Jitni zyada Indian films ko international recognition milti hai, utni hi saaf hoti hai ki hamari desh ki rich cultural heritage aur diverse perspectives duniya bhar ke logon se connect karte hai.
Ant mein, “Bittu” Oscar nahi jeet paayi, lekin yeh cinema ki duniya par lasting impact chhod gayi hai. Iski success storytelling ke power aur arts mein diverse voices ko badhava dene ki zaroorat ka saboot hai.
