Dearth of good critics in art and culture field

Prasar Bharti chairman and renowned journalist M V Kamat on Saturday lamented the dearth of good critics in the field of art and culture.

In his welcome address at the inauguration of Manipal Film Study Centre by the Manipal Institute of Communication (MIC) here, the honorary director of MIC stressed the need to produce good film critics to show to the world the great Indian culture and tradition.

Compared to the old classic films, on Saturday’s films did not reflect the culture and traditions of the country, he added.

Stating that MIC was the only centre in the country providing film journalism course, Kamat asked the students to view more and more classic films and go deep into the subject to master the art of geography and the art of becoming excellent critics.
