The 53rd Kerala State Film Awards were announced by the Minister for Cultural Affairs Saji Cheriyan at the PR, Chamber Secretariat on Friday. As many as 30 films reached the final draw of the total 154 films that were long-listed for the state awards.
Two prominent jury members headed by Bengali filmmaker Goutam Ghose had picked 77 films out of the 154 that were submitted.
Though there were plans to announce the awards on July 19, it was postponed due to the demise of former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
