Mangaluru: Winners of the National-level short film competition, Alva’s Cine Awards was declared at Kuvempu Auditorium on December 29.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Kurian, Principal, Alva’s College said, “We have to co-exist with nature instead of competing with it. Changing our mindset is the need of the hour,”.

He said the real heroes among common men should be recognized instead of glorifying the heroes on the screen. “We should not imitate what we see in the film. Cinema can be a part of life, it is not life,” he said while lamenting that farmers do not get people’s adulation and admiration in line with the actors who enact the farmers’ role on the screen.

He also said that life has been altered ever since the lockdown was declared in the month of March but we need to move forward with positivity.
