The Chennai International Screenwriting Workshop, which is being hosted jointly by Kamal Haasan’s Raajkamal Films International and the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, will begin on May 28th. Several noted screenwriters will participate in this two-day seminar to exchange their ideas.
Noted among them are: French writer Jean Claude Carriere, Olivier Lorelle, Shekhar Kapur, K. Balachander, Balu Mahendra, Gulzar, Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Vishal Bharadwaj, Rituparno Ghosh, Shyamaprasad and Sriram Raghavan.
Kamal said, “All the people I have called are people I have learned from even if they are younger than me. Some of them are people I consider mentors. Mr. Balachander has written and produced 100 different films, Mr. Balu Mahendra and I wish Mani Ratnam could've come too but he has a film to complete.”
The workshop is only for selected delegates and the seminar is only by invitation.
