“THE MOST HONEST FORM OF FILMMAKING IS TO MAKE A FILM FOR YOURSELF.” - Peter Jackson
The best kind of expressiveness a person can learn is through movies. It exerts a significant impact on society and the ability to profoundly influence how individuals perceive everything. By affecting the beliefs, views, and behaviours of those who see them, movies also have a cultural impact. It engages the audience and simultaneously instructs, informs, and amuses. The celebration of National Cinema Day in 2022 honours moviegoers and commemorates the successful reopening of theatres as it was challenging for viewers to enjoy the theatrical experience and to retreat to their houses’ four corners during the pandemic.
