Expert Committee on Upgradation of IFFI meets By : INVC Team Published On : 24 Dec, 2009 09:50 AM IST INVC,, The first meeting of the Expert Committee for up gradation of International Film Festival of India (IFFI) was held in New Delhi. Sh Kamal Haasan was chosen to convene the next meeting of the experts to be able to give recommendations regarding up gradation of IFFI on lines of other reputed International Festivals and the resultant changes to be made in the Regulations thereto as also its organizational structure. The committee is expected to submit its recommendations latest by 15th March 2010 to be able to make qualitative changes for IFFI 2010. Welcoming the eminent members of the Committee present for the meeting today, the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Smt Ambika Soni said that the Ministry wishes to be benefitted by the recommendations of the Committee so that the revamped IFFI measures up to the expectations of the film sector stakeholders as well as cinemagoers. The Minister desired that IFFI should be profiled such that it ‘becomes a date on world calendar’. Contributing to the discussions, the Members suggested that IFFI should acquire a definite identity and character as associated with other known Film Festivals. Whether IFFI should have more of Asia focus or be trade oriented festival or a forum for film discussions or target film audience, would largely define the organizational and structural logistics, it was pointed out. Goa as a permanent venue could be infrastructurally up graded also accordingly. It was also emphasized that Branding of the Festival, with clear sense of ownership, keeping in view the present day trends, is another aspect that needs to be examined. Among those who attended the meeting today included S/Sh. A.K.Bir, C.S.Sapra, Govind Nihalani, Kamal Haasan, Laxmikant Shetgaonkar, Prasoon Joshi, Pritish Nandy along with Ms. Kishwar Desai, Maithili Rao, Pooja Shetty Deora, Shabana Azmi and Chief Secretary, Government of Goa, Sh Sanjay Shrivastava. Ms Shahnaz Hussain joined the meeting as an observer. Senior officials of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and Directorate of Film Festivals were also present. The Committee can also make recommendations regarding the changes to be made in the selection of Indian Panorama films both feature and non-feature categories and resultant changes to be made in the Indian Panorama Regulations. The Committee would also be free to suggest if a Special Purpose Vehicle or an autonomous organizational body, funded largely by the Government, should eventually be hosting IFFI in any radically different manner in the long run.

However, one element has changed every aspect of this mix and that is "visual effects" which is now a source of inspiration from the "pre- production" stage itself. This session will look at making cutting-edge visual effects come alive with an energizing dialogue with experts from Hollywood and India.

Indian cinema is a subject about which conceptions are still muddy, even within prominent academic circles. The majority of the recent critical work on the subject endeavors to correct misconceptions, analyze cinematic norms and lay down the theoretical foundations for Indian cinema.

Indian Cinema, Postcolonialism, and Social Justice: an Interview with Nandita Das1
Postcolonial Text, Vol 13, No 3 (2018) Indian Cinema, Postcolonialism, and Social Justice: An Interview with Nandita Das1 Manav Ratti Salisbury University, Maryland, USA Introduction Nandita Das (b. 1969) is one of India’s most eminent filmmakers and actors, renowned in particular for her work in art cinema (or parallel cinema, as it is also called in India), the genre of pioneering filmmakers Ritwik Ghatak (1925-1976), Satyajit Ray (1921-1992), Mrinal Sen (b. 1923), and Tapan Sinha (1924-2009). Das (Figure 1) has, in some respects, pursued an unconventional path into the Indian film industry, for it is not her first professional pursuit, and she does not hail from a film family (distinguished in their fields, her father, Jatin Das, is a painter; and her mother, Varsha Das, is a writer). Born in Mumbai and growing up in New Delhi, Das worked with NGOs for several years before entering the film industry, building on her Master’s degree from the Delhi School of Social Work in the University of Delhi. Fig. 1. Nandita Das at the Cannes Film Festival, 2017. Photo courtesy of Nandita Das Perhaps this unconventional, even outsider’s, path has informed Das’s use of films to question the norms of gender, religion, caste, sexuality, class, and nation, among others. Her work has gained recognition and respect for its uniqueness, urgency, awareness, and authenticity. Known for her social justice advocacy, Das’s national and international commitments span a range of issues, such as violence against women, children’s rights, HIV/AIDS, poverty, and interreligious harmony. She has supported India’s “Dark is Beautiful” campaign, which raises awareness about colourism, a form of prejudice and discrimination that devalues darker skin colours while privileging lighter ones.

N.W WASHINGTON. D.C. 20008 April 4, 2011. Meera Shankar Ambassador of India The ‘maximum lNDlA’ festival hosted by the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in cooperation with the Indian Council of Cultural Relations and the Embassy from March 1-20, 2011 was a resounding success. As a co-sponsor of the festival, the Embassy was proud to be associated with ‘maximum lNDIA’. A festival of this magnitude to present India’s arts and culture in the U.S. was held after a gap of twenty five years. Our American friends were able to see and experience the rich diversity of art and culture from different parts of India under one roof — Indian dance, music, theatre, crafts, cuisine, literature and cinema. The milling crowds and sold out performances were a testimony to the tremendous interest and goodwill that Indian culture enjoys in the United States. ‘maximum INDlA’ also served as a unique opportunity for the people of India and the United States to rejoice in the steadily strengthening partnership between our two great democracies. I would like to congratulate Chairman David Rubenstein, President Michael Kaiser, Vice-President Alicia Adams and their entire team at the Kennedy Centre for their flawless execution of this large-scale project.

"Light Your Cigarette with My Heart's Fire, My Love": Raunchy Dances and a Golden- hearted Prostitute in Bhardwaj's Omkara (2006) Madhavi Biswas, University of Texas Dallas Abstract This essay argues that Omkara (dir. Vishal Bhardwaj, 2006) foregrounds contemporary gender concerns in modern, small-town India, primarily through the film's reformulation of the three female roles in Othello. Billo/Bianca, played by a glamorous, contemporary, female star, gets her own romance and two popular and raunchy song-and-dance tracks in Omkara. These dance tracks are a peculiar mixture of traditional folk Nautanki and identifiable Bollywood masala "item numbers," whose layered lyrics have been penned by Gulzar, a well-known poet, lyricist, scriptwriter, and ex-film-director who closely collaborates with Bhardwaj. The essay argues for the recognition of the songs in Omkara as a parallel narrative that intertwines with and intersects the central narrative of the plot, inflecting it with a range of cultural and social intertexts, along with a dash of metatextual flavor. The article examines how the two song-and-dance sequences by Billo/Bianca in the film use the familiar tropes of the "courtesan" figure of Hindi films and draw upon traditional folk-theater — reflecting both its local poetry and its vulgarity — to evoke a new kind of verbal and visual "realism" that intertwines Bollywood glamor with local histories. Omkara, with its big budget stars, glossy production values, and popular song- and-dance numbers interspersing the narrative — elements that are often associated with the "Bollywood" style of Hindi cinema — is the most obviously commercial of Vishal Bhardwaj's three Shakespearean adaptations.
