To procure and preserve the filmic material on Gandhi for prosperity and to produce Films on Gandhi, Gandhian ideals and teachings and to propagate them throughout the world the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi started the Gandhi Films Foundation in the year 1982 as one of its activities having its main office at Bombay, functioning with a paid staff consisting of technical and Administrative personnel. One of the main objects of the Gandhi Films Foundation was to collect the filmic material on Gandhi from the different parts of the world and produce a biographical documentary from that material. Gandhi Films Foundation has successfully produced an epic film Mahatma on the life and works of Gandhiji during the Gandhi birth centenary year: 1968-69. The film since then has been shown throughout the length and breadth of the country and to some extent abroad also. Besides the film Mahatma the Gandhi Films Foundation has produced a few other films on Gandhian teachings and efforts are being made to screen them. This is not an end in itself. In order to convey the thoughts and the philosophy of Gandhi to the last Indian, the Gandhi Films Foundation intends to keep on producing and exhibiting small documentaries and educational films of 10 to 12 minutes duration regularly according to the changing times. We are happy to present the English, Hindustani, Tamil, Telgu, Malayalam, Kannada and the Bengali versions of the film. Great attention had been paid to those books read by Gandhi which influenced his thought and some of his important writings. The remaining thirty-three years of his life from 1915 to January 30, 1948 have been covered in the remaining twenty-seven reels which also depict important facets of the history of India’s freedom struggle. Thus the film is perhaps one of the longest biographical documentaries of the world. |
