Anurag Kashyap, a prominent Indian filmmaker known for his films showcased at the Cannes Film Festival, attended this year's festival not with a film but to explore the changing dynamics of cinema. In a candid conversation, he expressed his frustration, stating, 'I am fed up with making films,' highlighting the impact of artificial intelligence and confusion about current filmmaking trends. Kashyap noted that the obsession with the red carpet at Cannes overshadows the festival's core purpose, which is to celebrate cinema. He remarked that many attendees seem more interested in the spectacle than in watching films, as he observed few people attending screenings. Kashyap is also preparing for the release of his upcoming film, 'Bandar,' which has stirred controversy due to its themes related to false rape accusations. He emphasized that the film does not address #MeToo issues, clarifying that it focuses on different aspects of power dynamics. Kashyap's visit to Cannes serves as a way to reconnect with the essence of filmmaking and understand the innovative approaches of new filmmakers.
