But few realise that it also has a flourishing non-fiction film movement which has been steadily growing since 1940 when the Information Films of India was set up the Government of India. But sadly, while fiction filmmakers are wined and dined, documentary filmmakers have to fend for themselves and, even the best of them, live quiet anonymous lives. I believe that the time has now come to not only recognise the non-fiction genre for the contribution it has made towards the development of the nation but also give it the space it deserves in cinema halls and television. True, documentary films do get shown on current affairs channels and also in cinema halls, though the edict of compulsory screening in cinema halls is gone. But that is really not enough for the movement to take off like it has done in many countries of the world. The gratifying thing about MIFF is that, over the years, it has grown not only in size and stature but also in prestige and honour. It has become the much-needed platform for documentary films in an era of shrinking space for the non-fiction genre – at least in this part of the world. But again this is not enough because the MIFF is a biennial festival and by the time the next festival is held, the enthusiasm generated by the previous one has ebbed. We, therefore, need to create a mechanism which would not only harness this enthusiasm generated by one festival but crank it to another higher level by the time of the next festival. The Films Division is in the process of creating such a documentary hub around the Museum which is in the process of being built. More such ideas need to be generated in order to give the movement a much-needed fillip. In conclusion, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 14th Mumbai International Film Festival of Documentary, Short and Animation Films. We have spared no efforts to make this edition as successful as the previous ones have been. Enjoy the films and join the debates!! Mukesh Sharma Festival Director,MIFF2016 Director General,Films Division PRESIDENT REPUBLIC OF INDIA M E S S A G E I am happy to learn that the Films Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, is organizing the l4th Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary, Short and Animation Films (MIFF 2016) from 28th January to 3rd February, 2016 at Mumbai. Documentaries are an art form and a vehicle of communication, which have immense potential and persuasive power. It can be used to celebrate the successes in our nation and to highlight role models who can inspire. They can also serve as an important channel for in-depth investigative reporting into social issues. Over the decades, MIFF has become an important event in the global calendar of film festivals. I am sure that the MIFF will continue to inspire Indian documentary filmmakers to create meaningful and momentous documentaries. I congratulate the Films Division for hosting this prestigious festival for the 14th time in a row and wish it many more successful editions in the years to come. (Pranab Mukherjee) New Delhi January 6, 2016 VICE-PRESIDENT OF INDIA M E S S A G E I am happy to know that the 14th Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary, Short & Animation Films (MIFF 2016) is being organized between January 28 and February 3, 2016 at Films Division Complex, Pedder Road, Mumbai. The Mumbai Film Festival is always eagerly awaited by the members of the film fraternity as well as cinema lovers. Over the years the MIFF has not only become a meeting ground for filmmakers where they can exchange ideas about documentary filmmaking but also a space where discerning audiences can watch documentary and short films from all over the world on diverse subjects. I extend my greetings and good wishes to organisers and participants and wish the event all success. (M. HAMID ANSARI) New Delhi 7th January ,2016 RAJ BHAVAN Mumbai - 400 035 CH.Vidyasagar Rao GOVERNOR OF MAHARASHTRA 12 January 2016 M E S S A G E I am pleased to know that 14th Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary, Short & Animation Films (MIFF 2016) is being held in Mumbai from 28th January to 3rd February 2016. It is heartening to note that MIFF has grown in stature as one of the premier international events of documentary film genre. Thanks to the revolution in the skies accompanied by internet revolution, the reach of documentaries, short & animation films has increased manifolds. The simplification of technology has, on the other hand, made it easier for any creative individual to make a short film or a documentary. This has created a win-win situation for the filmmakers and the audience. I am glad that this important genre of films has found a permanent space in Mumbai in the form of MIFF, where the works of new as well as veteran filmmakers can be shown, discussed and appreciated. I congratulate the organisers and convey my best wishes for the success of the Festival. (CH. Vidyasagar Rao) CHIEF MINISTER MAHARASHTRA 11 January,2016 M E S S A G E I am happy to learn that the Films Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, is organising the l4th Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary, Short and Animation Films (MIFF 2016) from 28th January to 3rd February, 2016 at Mumbai. It is heartening to note that over the years MIFF has not only grown in prestige & stature but has also succeeded in unspooling a diverse kind of non- fiction fare. Indian filmmakers and audiences have also benefitted from their exposure to such diverse styles in filmmaking. I am sure that this festival will attract more filmmakers and will showcase different documentary, short films & animation films. I personally welcome the delegates of this festival to Mumbai and wish the festival a grand success. (Devendra Fadnavis) Minister of Finance, Corporate Affairs and Information & Broadcasting Government of India Arun Jaitley M E S S A G E The recent democratization and demystification of the film-making process has brought documentary film-making within the grasp of the common citizen. As the noted documentary film-maker Lucy Walker said, “With portable cameras and affordable data and non-linear digital editing, I think this is a golden age of documentary film-making. These new technologies mean we can make complicated, beautifully crafted and cinematic films about real-life stories”. In such an age where more and more people take to film-making, a festival like MIFF has a greater significance. It can not only provide a space to show the products of this golden age of documentary but also create a meeting place for such film-makers to exchange ideas about content and technology. I hope that the 14th edition of MIFF will act as a catalyst to usher in the brave new age of the new Indian documentary. ( Arun Jaitley ) MINISTER OF STATE FOR INFORMATION & BROADCASTING Col Rajyavardhan Rathore GOVERNMENT OF INDIA M E S S A G E Over the last two-and-a-half decades, the Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary, Short and Animation Films has played an important role in elevating documentaries that might otherwise have escaped our notice. It has brought together some of the best documentaries of the world under one roof – not to speak of the filmmakers who have congregated to this biennial event. I am, therefore, pleased to know that the Films Division will be hosting the 14th edition of this prestigious festival this year. I am sure that this week-long festival of the finest films from the world over will leave an indelible mark on audiences while inspiring some of our new filmmakers to adopt new styles of documentary story-telling. Here is wishing the event success and a very long life. (Col Rajyavardhan Rathore) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF INFORMATION & BROADCASTING NEW DELHI Sunil Arora Secretary M E S S A G E It is indeed heartening to know that the Films Division is organizing 14th edition of the biennial Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) for Documentary, Short and Animation films from 28th January to 3rd February 2016 in Mumbai in collaboration with Government of Maharashtra.

  • Baghawad Gita, Class 184: Chapter 14, Verses 19 to 14
    Baghawad Gita, Class 184: Chapter 14, Verses 19 to 14 Shloka # 14. 9: 14.9 O scion of the Bharata dynasty, sattva attaches one to happiness, rajas to action, while tamas, covering up knowledge, leads to inadvertence als Continuing his teachings Swamiji said today, in the last few classes, we saw that our higher nature known as the sakshi svarupam is ever nirgunam and therefore is free from the influence of the three gunas; but our vyavaharika nature, our lower nature, which is called ahamkara is a mixture of the body-mind complex, as well as the reflected consciousness. And till the ahamkara consists of the body-mind complex and till the body-mind complex is born out of prakrti, the ahamkara can never escape from the three gunas. And therefore, our body-mind complex is made up of three gunas and the ahamkara which consists of this body-mind complex is the necessarily made up of these three gunas, and therefore, we can never escape from them. We have to live with this saguna ahamkara. And once we are forced to live with this ahamkara, it is better that we understand the ahamkara well, so that we know how to handle it properly. Science is able to handle the nature more and more only because science has been able to know nature more and more. Knowledge gives the capacity for better handling. And therefore Sri Krishna says: you have to understand your own ahamkara very well. For that, you must know what type of ahamkara you have; which guna is dominant, which guna is in middle; the second place, and which guna is the lowest; better you understand and you also know how these gunas influence your vyavaharika life; both material life, as well as the spiritual life.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.
