Adoor Gopalakrishnan



Adoor Gopalakrishnan is a familiar face on international film circuit.The director was in the city recently for the screening of his movie "Mathilukal" at the second international convention of SPIC MACAY  at IIT-Madras and he interacted with the audience after screening.Last year, the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee established "The Adoor Gopalakrishnan Archive and Research Fund" to study the director's works.Adoor is the recipient of the Padma Shri,Padma Vibhushan and Dada Saheb Phalke Award.Adoor has scripted and directed 11 feature films and more than 30 short films and documentaries.Adoor's debut film,the national award winning Swayamvaram(1972) was a milestone in malayalam film history.I was impressed by the works of the film maker and made a portrait in watercolour which was presented here.
