Synopsis

This film portrays the life of Lightmen in cinema. Lightmen are an Integral part and prominent among the 24 crafts in film industry but they stay isolated among the other technicians in the Industry.

Our take

Kumar G. Venkatesh’s sophomore film offers an insightful behind-the-scenes look at the perilous lives of technicians on a film set. Merging documentary and fiction modes, Light Man is a thought-provoking feature that earnestly urges the film industry to reflect on its labor policies.
