In this episode of Photosynthesis, we had the pleasure of speaking with Keertan H Patel, a talented filmmaker from the Gujarati film industry. Keertan has directed two critically acclaimed films, "Bas Ek Chance" and "Back Bencher," both of which have garnered numerous awards and accolades. He has also directed short films, advertisements, film promos, and music videos. Currently, he is working on the post-production phase of his third film, "Rang Jo Lagyo."
Keertan shared insights into the size, challenges, and government support the Gujarati film industry receives. He discussed the differences between the Gujarati film industry and other regional film industries, highlighting audience reach and the role of producers and investors. Despite the industry's slow recognition, there is a need for greater acknowledgment. The government provides subsidies to good filmmakers, but Keertan has pointed out the lack of vision and business acumen among many investors and producers in making and distributing quality films. Some producers work smartly within a reasonable budget, leveraging good crews, technology, and government support.
Ahmedabad serves as the main hub for the Gujarati film industry, with Mumbai being the second highest collection area for films. The conversation also covered the transformation of the Gujarati film industry, the impact of OTT platforms, the role of investors, production values, and the creative challenges filmmakers face. Keertan shared his thoughts on the growth of Gujarati cinema and the need for quality content within a limited budget.

We're back with another fantastic episode of Photosynthesis!
In today's episode, we sat with a seasoned photographer, Arpan Banerjee. He primarily has been doing some remarkable works within the vibrant Bengali movie industry. He specializes in behind-the-scenes (BTS) videography and photography. He is also into film poster photography and capturing the still and candid cinematic shots. But that's not all – outside of movies, he also enjoys snapping fashion pictures as a hobby.
The conversation started on why winter is a busy season for the Bengali film industry due to the more favourable shooting conditions. He takes us through the intricate process of BTS photography, discussing his role as a silent observer capturing the raw essence of film sets.
Arpan reveals how BTS photography is important in documenting the entire production process, capturing the raw emotions of actors and crew members between shots. He emphasizes the pivotal role it plays in future reference, promotional material, and preserving the essence of filmmaking.
Arpan even explains how the scale of production influences the BTS unit's scope. Larger productions may require multiple photographers covering various locations. And don't overlook continuity photography – a crucial aspect in behind-the-scenes photography of a film.
Finally, he describes the impact of colour science in film and photography. He elaborates on how the manipulation of colours contributes to creating diverse moods and aesthetics in both film and photography.
