Konkani Cinema is a treasure linked to our cultural heritage, art and lifestyle. Cinema is a reflection of the times we live in and consequently, cinema also impacts society. In the recent times Goa has seen a revival of Konkani cinema.
www.konkanicinema.com will take one through the literal, intellectually and nostalgic journey of Konkani Cinema. The website was launched at the hands of Fr. Bernardine Rector; Fr. Allwyn, Director, Don Bosco College of Agriculture; Rajesh, F&B Director at Radisson Blu; Mahesh Executive Chef at Radisson Blu and David de Souza, publisher of the website. A Coffee Table book on Konkani Cinema is to follow.
Thanks to the efforts of Isidore Dantas, author, translator and lexicographer, this website which is a treasure-trove of Konkani cinema, has been put together. Dantas has authored five books, translated two books and co-authored an English-to-Konkani dictionary.
Said David de Souza, owner and publisher, “Movies inspires us more than we think it can. Films are cultural artefacts created by specific cultures. They reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment, and a powerful medium for educating citizens. Film has the universal power to communicate. This website is an encyclopaedia on Konkani Cinema.”
Anyone who would like to share pictures or stories on Konkani cinema can contact the website.
