Prasanna Jayakody (In Sinhalese: ???????? ??????) is a prominent Sri Lankan film director and screenwriter, internationally well-recognized for his distinctive cinematic accomplishments in contemporary Sri Lankan cinema.
Philosophy and silver screen harmonize at their finest with Jayakody in his movies, which primarily explore the human state of mind.
His movies stand out as fusions of human emotions, senses and thoughts contrastingly set against the fractured socio-economic-cultural and religious canvas of Sri Lanka.
At a global context, Jayakody’s cinema resonates the psychological-biological realities of mankind and arbitraries of human cognition against the concept of civilization.
Jayakody’s eccentric cinematic world, in the absence of a flowing story, capitalizes on subtle but detailed images and intense characters.
