The Tamil film industry got together
today to announce their support
for the World Classical Tamil Meet
that is scheduled to be held in
Coimbatore in July next year. A
special meeting was convened today
in Chennai which was attended by
representatives from all the film
organizations of the Tamil film
industry including the Nadigar Sangam,
Producers’ Council, Directors’
Association etc. It was unanimously
decided at the meeting to extend
full support, cooperation and participation
to the event. The role of the film
industry in the scheme of things
for the event has not yet been disclosed.
Meanwhile the preparations for the
event have begun in earnest. Tamil
scholars from around the world are
getting ready for Classical Tamil
Meet. Yesterday, the official logo
of the event was unveiled. It consists
of the gigantic Thiruvalluvar statue
in Kanyakumari. The logo shows the
statue as it is about to be lashed
by waves from the tsunami of 2004.
The picture at the centre is surrounded
by seven icons from the Indus Valley
Civilization. The logo gives a message
to mankind, calling for a world
free from race, creed and caste.
With the Tamil film industry too
getting involved, the World Classical
Tamil Meet 2010 has indeed become
a huge event to watch out for next
year. |
