Biography
Born in India, Shaji Neelakantan Karun was the cinematographer on most of the films made by the legendary director Govindan Aravindan, which opened up new horizons within Indian cinema. His work as a cameraman won him the Eastman Kodak Award for Excellence in 1990.

His second feature, My Own (1994), returned to the subject of grieving and confirmed his talent as a filmmaker, being selected for competition at the Cannes Festival. This was followed by The Last Dance (1999, co-produced by the journalist Pierre Assouline) and Nishad (2002). Shaji Neelakantan Karun has also made several documentaries and is currently working on his next feature film.
