Dimapur, Oct. 28 (EMN): Sensino Yhoshü, a jury member for the 67th National Film Awards in the ‘non-feature films’ category, shared that storytelling helps to start meaningful conversations and enables the people to empathise with others.

The 67th National Film Awards ceremony was held in New Delhi on October 25.

“Whatever our stories may be — stories of struggles and failures, of best practices and positivity, of survival and purpose, of living through situations — stories reveal that we are not alone,” Yhoshü told Eastern Mirror.

Sharing about her love for films, she said: “It started when Doordarshan DD1 reached our homes and it only grew with more channels arriving on cable TV.”

She was fascinated with the visual medium and wanted to be a part of the ‘magic’ that was being created on television.

“The unconditional support of my parents only strengthened my pursuit and I studied mass communication, electronic cinematography and later documentary films,” she shared.

“Since then, my 17-year-old journey in this field has been extraordinary; from the non-existent film market, to more recently, an upsurge demand for film and video production” she added.

“Getting a first row view to witnessing this transition along with the other Arts sprouting and growing simultaneously has been an incredible experience,” she continued. I believe that God has handpicked me to serve Him in this field and finding my purpose in life has made a huge difference, she said.

Speaking about her experience as a jury member for the recently held national awards, she said that she was “absolutely humbled and grateful for the opportunity”. “It was a learning experience getting to watch over 200 films from all over India,” she said.

Sharing that the jurors physically sat together and watched the films the whole day, she said “the interactions and deliberation process with my fellow jurors have been priceless”.
