Speaker Profile

Cinema can help you better your life, film stars can give you moral and spiritual messages that can uplift you. Sagai believes this. Sagai is a film buff and his idol is South Indian Superstar Rajnikanth. He grew up watching films in a semi legal video parlor in the Mumbai slums. In a charming, eloquent and often politically incorrect street speak, he shares the story of his video theatre alongside his trip with films.

Journalist-turned-filmmaker Jagannathan Krishnan likes to pack a hundred ‘theories’ a minute. His first feature length documentary, Videokaaran, has been screened at the River to River Film Festival at Florence, Italy, last December. He was a student at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, Kolkatta.
