THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The documentary section at the Chitranjali studio complex under the Kerala State Film Development Corporation (KSFDC) is humming with action after years of inactivity. While noted director K.K. Chandran is making a film titled ‘Pasu Gramam’ for the Dairy department, Satish Venganoor is working on an advertisement film for Consumerfed. Another documentary in the works is Ramesh Kumar’s ‘On the lap of harbour’ for the Harbour Engineering department. Deepak Narayanan is another director who is using the infrastructure at Chitranjali. The studio is also setting up a film archives museum as part of its modernisation programme. Eminent art director Premachandran is designing the interior of the museum. Chitranjali lab chief P. Sudhir is the museum coordinator. Art directors Sabu Cyril, Nemom Pushparaj, and Mottamood Vijayan have been roped in to design the cottages, water bodies, fountains, railway station, temples, and village to be set up in the premises for outdoor shooting. Meanwhile, Janamaithri telefilms’ shoot for the police training college entered the second phase at the studio last week. The films on beat police, police station, and traffic accidents have been completed while the shooting of films on murder, burglary and traffic laws is apace.
