Remembering B Kannan Sir, Cinematographer




Humble, kind and a sweet human being.  

Lenses were his friends, no spectacles/glasses were needed for his spectacular eyes. His eyesight was impeccable. 

He will be remembered forever for - 

- His significant contribution to Tamil films especially along with Director Bharathiraja. The beauty of South Indian villages were lively and full of nature in his cinematography. 

- His down to earth personality, simplicity and straight-forwardness. 

- Unconditional caring for students. We, BOFTA students, were truly fortunate to have him with us. He used to sit with all of us, watch his films, and share his humongous working experience. This is a treasure for all of us. We also watched iconic films such as Lawrence of Arabia with Kannan Sir.

- Child at heart - He was full of exuberance and confidence. So easily he used to mingle with us, share a joke and make us all smile. His unique and captivating laughter will be dearly missed.

It's hard to interpret and digest his absence. Yes, absence and not death. Because he is so alive fresh and energetic in our memories. I shall keep it this way, I hope all will too.

Thank you B Kannan Sir for a wonderful time at BOFTA.
