Desai,
whose
animation
film
'Manpasad'
(Perfect
Match
Maker)
had
been
nominated
for
nine
International
film
festivals,
including
Hollywood,
has
said
there
was
a
great
future
for
animation
films
in
the
country.
Ms Desai, whose film, based on 'Pachantantra' tale and animated in an ancient and dying-out folkart ''sajhi'', was screened in the ongoing International Children's Film Festival here, told newspersons that the technique had a great future in the country as animation got into feature films with the production of 'Hanuman'.
''I deem it a great recognition the short film getting nominated in the International Film Festival for Children and Youth in Czech Republic, where the animation technique is well advanced,'' she said, lauding the Children Film Socieity of India for supporting her venture.
The film was based on the 17th Century practice in Uttar Pradesh, that encouraged unmarried girls to do ''Sanjhi paintings'' to get a suitable groom. It was considered a ritual worship and was originally practiced as one of the traditional methods of creative visualization to fulfil one's wishes.
