‘Shades of Ash’ in fifth week
Sudath Mahaadivulwewa's maiden film 'Sudu Kalu Saha Alu' (Shades of Ash) is in its successful fifth week at the CEL circuit cinemas including Regal Colombo.
Set in a post war period, the film revolves around a community of survivors who return to their village, which they abandoned many months ago following a brutal massacre of their kith and kin and the destruction of the total infrastructure of their village by a ruthless terrorist attack.

They return with nothing but their souls to a place where only memories remain. 'Sudu Kalu Saha Alu' narrates how they adapt to rebuilding their lives and homes while striking a compromise with the newly emerging socio-economic culture that had been nurtured within the 'business' of war and peace.

The film had its international release at the 27th Goteborg Film Festival in Sweden which followed several other festivals around the world.
The cast who play equally important roles are Irangani Serasinghe, Sriyantha Mendis, Sanath Gunathilake, Mahendra Perera, Dilhani Ekanayake, Jayalath Manoratne, Rangana Premaratne, Tyronne Michael, Wasantha Kotuwella, Kumudu Nishantha and Dasun Madhushanka Mendis, Koshila Jayawardena and Gunadasa Madurasinghe were introduced to the silver screen.

In the technical team experienced editor Elmo Haliday used digital technology to edit a film for the first time with music maestro Premasiri Khemadasa's latest Dolby digital sound system in this film. Ruwan Costa handled the camera.
The film is the first cinema production of 'Cine Shilpa'.
