Prasanna Jayakody
Sankara is Jayakody's (1968- ) directorial debut film. Visual allure has been his aesthetic trademark, but his ability to articulate the Sinhala Buddhist ethos is the hallmark of his remarkable career. He debuted at the age of 21 with "Seveneli saha Minissu" (Shadows and Men), a stage drama thematically woven around a thoughtful discussion on the reality of life, which was a major critical success.
