Kolkata, Nov 19 (IBNS): The role of music in world cinema has not been explored as much as it ideally ought to have been. This comes across lucidly through some films screened as part of the 21st KIFF both in its negative and its powerful impacts. Let us take the powerful role music can play in a film. It can be the main protagonist of a film. It can be an agency, it can have curative and rehabilitative effects on disturbed and distraught minds. How aesthetically and socially music can be handled by a talented director is expressed in the Brazilian film The Violin Teacher directed by Sergio Machado screened in the Cinema International Section.
