CINEMA ARCHITETCURE

Itallbeganwithmydeep-rootedpassionforcinemaandmykeenobservationsofcinemaculturein my hometown. However, when I shared my interest with my mentor, Professor Sarmistha Chatterjee, her encouragement propelled me to delve deeper into this field. A pivotal moment came during a workshop organized by the 'Aga Khan Trust for Culture' and the Manipal School of Architecture and Planning, where I had the privilege to present my ideas to esteemed architects such as Ar.AGK Menon and Late Ar. Ashish Ganju. Their feedback and support led me to focus my research on the topic of "Seeking the Lost Layers: A Case of Single Screen Cinema Talkies, Kalpana Talkie, Udupi," for my dissertation.During the final session of the workshop, I received heartfelt appreciation from all jury members, which further fueled my enthusiasm. Inspired by their encouragement, I went on to write an article titled "Movie Theatres of Bygone Eras," which was publishedinbothEnglishandKannadaintheKannadaDailyUdayavani.

Currently, I am passionately working on a book dedicated to exploring the architecture of old movie talkies in North Kerala. Through this endeavor, I aim to unearth the significance of these structuresandtheirprofoundimpactonourculturallandscape.
