ShareMumbai: Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos visited Whistling Woods film school in suburban Mumbai and interacted with the 350 students studying there.
Angelopoulos met John Lee, Dean of Whistling Woods, and the institute's founder, filmmaker Subhash Ghai, during his visit yesterday.
Angelopoulos is the director of several classics, including Traveling Players and To Each His Own Cinema, the latter he shot for the 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival.
To Each His Own Cinema is a collection of 34 short films - each three minutes in length - by 36 acclaimed directors representing five continents and 25 countries.
His latest film is The Dust of Time.
During his four-hour stay at Whistling Woods, the Greek director shared his views on cinema with faculty and students.
Angelopoulos said he was not very impressed by Hollywood cinema "which is in chaos most of the time".
About critics, he said, "the directors are not chosen by the critics or by the audience but by the time" and that for him all of his films are chapters of the same films.
