Staff Reporter
New office-bearers take charge
Kochi: Vinayan and K.G. George, film directors, assumed office as chairman and general secretary, respectively, of the Malayalam Cine Technicians' Association (MACTA) here on Saturday.
They took charge at the general body meeting of MACTA.
Mr. Vinayan said the association was planning to start a film institute. The Government had promised to give 4 hectares of land for the project, identified near NAD on the Aluva-Pukkattupadi route. Minister for Revenue K.P. Rajendran had promised to complete the process of handing over of the land soon. MACTA was planning a housing scheme for medium-level film technicians, such as costumers. An apartment complex with small flats would be constructed for them.
A scheme for production of a mega-serial was in the offing for helping old-time technicians left high and dry by technological revolutions sweeping the cinema field. The scheme would also help to raise funds for MACTA.
Mr. Vinayan is also the general secretary of MACTA Federation, a trade union, the chairman of which is Hariharan.
Kamal and Thampi Kannanthanam were elected president and general secretary, respectively, of the Director's Union of MACTA at the general body meeting of the union here on Friday.
The other office-bearers are Mohan and Harikumar, vice-presidents; Viji Thambi and Blessy, joint secretaries
