First victim
The Cochin Film Society is moving out. It is the first victim of the privatisation drive on at the Ernakulam Public Library.
The Library auditorium, in which a private television channel would soon set up its auxiliary studio, used to be the main venue for the Film Society to hold its official meetings and screen films.
Other than screenings at cinema theatres and the Fine Arts Society, which were organised in association with the Society, the rest of the screenings were done at the library hall.
For the first time, it will be holding its annual general body meeting and film screening at the KSEB hall, near the Library on July 16.
KSEB hall is presently used by a theatre group to stage their plays on all Saturdays and how far this small hall is going to be suitable for a film screening is something that remains to be seen.
As some members of the Society say, this is only a temporary arrangement and if it does not succeed, they will have to look for other options. The saddest part of it all is that, with a shoe-string budget that the Society is operating on, there may not be many solutions.
