ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
S.N.S. Sastry was an Indian director born in 1930 in Bombay. He joined Films Division India as a newsreel cameraman in the early 1950s and went on to become a director. Sastry''s films are marked by his self-reflexive experimentation with cinematic form, as well as the sometimes subtle and at other times manifest subversion of the agenda of state propaganda. He is best known for his short non-fiction documentary \"I Am Twenty,\" which was produced by the Films Division of India and directed by him in 1967. The film was awarded the Best Film on Social Documentation at the 15th National Film Awards held in November 1968. The Films Division of India holds more than 8000 titles on documentaries, short films, and animation films.
