Santosh Babusenan

Overview

Santosh Babusenan is a PhD in Film Studies. Since the early 90s he has been working as a director of photography, writer and producer. He has worked extensively in the music industry for MTV and the STAR network. He is Managing Partner in Fifth Element, a production house in India. His 1997 short film 'Twilight Dream', co-directed with his brother Satish Babusenan (aka The Babusenan Brothers) was selected to the Mumbai International Film Festival and the Split Film Festival, Croatia. Chaayam Poosiya Veedu is the first feature by the Babusenan Brothers. Here is what the brothers, who work on their films together, have to say about what inspires them to make films: "Although film as art has changed drastically over the years, its fundamental concerns have remained rather unchanged. War, poverty, internal and external conflicts, love, disease, death. In our films we try to grapple with some of the existential and ethical issues that we think are central to human life. We like to focus on thoughts, attitudes, ideologies, etc, because we believe the world around us is really a reflection of our inner lives. It is one's ability to understand the murky happenings inside that can make life easier outside." Santosh lives in laid-back Trivandrum in the south of India with his wife Jamuna and daughter Maitreyi (who is also his Associate Director).
