Sethumadhavan, MA Sikandar, Director, Chairman, NBT India National Book Trust, India 2 Cinematic Voices from the Northeast India he concluding panel discussion of the New Delhi World Book Fair at the Theme Pavilion was on ‘Legends, Conflict and Literature: TCinematic Voices from the Northeast India’. The discussion was moderated by Jahnu Barua, eminent film maker, and the panelists included Utpal Borpujari and Wanphrang Diengdoh. Jahnu Barua who made his debut with ‘Aparoopa’ in 1982 is one of India’s most-respected film makers. A socially-committed filmmaker, he is consistently making films with subjects that focus on various social and humane issues. He has recently been honored with the Padma Bushan by Government of India. Few of his acclaimed films include ‘Hkhagoroloi Bohu Door’, ‘Papori’, ‘Haladhiya Choraye Baodhan Khai’ and ‘Baandhon’. Jahnu Barua opened the discussion with a brief history of “I have been writing for nearly 5 decades now. I wrote my first story from barsati in cinema of the region which was initiated in Assam by Jyoti Prasad Karol Bagh and my short story was based in the context of famine of Bihar,” said Shri Sethumadhavan, Chairman NBT at the release of his book - A Guest For Arund- Aggarwalla in 1931. In the order of cinematic history in Northeast, hati And Other Stories published by Palmsest Publishers. “I started writing without any cinema in Manipur started in 1972. The Northeast is a reservoir of idea of how to write and since I didn’t know the rules of the game, so I made my own many talents especially of art and culture. However, cinema did not rules,” he added. Earlier Dr Harish Khare, former Media Advisor of the Indian Prime Minister and eminent journalist, in his address, said that he found the stories very engrossing. develop the way it today has due to lack of financial constraints. Today, Shri Sethumadhavan is a former banker and very eminent short story writer and novelist the younger generation is coming out with a lot of fresh ideas and and currently chairman NBT. His books have been translated in many languages in India stories. There are so many stories to tell from various perspectives which and abroad. bring out the diverse stories of the region. Manipuri film Ishanou shanou is a movie based on a story written by legendary IManipuri writer M.K. Binodini Devi. Set in the backdrop of the Maibi or priestess cult, it is the story of a sudden transformation of a gentle young wife into a violent woman who slowly finds solace in the vivid and colorful performing arts. It is a classic in Utpal Borpujari, a national award winning film critic and senior Manipuri cinema and the only journalist, whose foray from journalism into movie making came movie from the Northeast of as a natural progression to narrate stories in a bigger way. The India to be screened in the official documentary format makes it more conducive to include things that selection of the Cannes Film may be difficult to portray in fiction. Exoticizing the Northeast also Festival in 1991. The director enhances the underlying conflicts. It is a beautiful locale but the Aribam Syam Sharma is one of stories may not be beautiful as the place. We may find the pristine the most revered filmmakers in locale, peaceful, beautiful people but their socio-economic and India whose films reflect his deep political turmoil may be something totally in contrast with the kind commitment towards Manipuri of beauty around them. art, literature and culture. Wanphrang Diengdoh is an upcoming, independent and a radical filmmaker based in Shillong and Delhi. His films include ‘19/87’ and ‘Where the Clouds End’. His music videos reflect his interest in the politics and culture of his hometown Shillong, Meghalaya. He began by raising the question on what makes the film made in Northeast significant. Or rather what makes a film politically significant? Films are also responsible in a big way for creating stereotypes. The agenda for curatorship of ideas and views also lie in the hands of filmmakers from the region. We have to move on from anthropological subjects. Things must be portrayed in a more realistic way rather than only an appropriate way. Shared areas of commonality necessarily do not have to be peaceful; it also does not have to be violent.

  • Institute of Film & Video Technology, Mumbai
    INSTITUTE OF FILM & VIDEO TECHNOLOGY, MUMBAI & MEWAR UNIVERSITY, CHITTORGARH (Rajasthan) PROSPECTUS for JOINT PROGRAMMES ABOUT THE IFVT: There has always been a mad rush of people aspiring to join the glamour world of Cinema and Television. However, there is no clear cut path carved out for their entry other than through the Film Institutes established by the Government. There is always a need felt by the Production Houses to have trained film makers and technicians for quality film and Television productions. Considering this huge requirement of trained professionals many private institutes have mushroomed in various places. However these Institutes also lack the trained faculty in various departments of film making. This has prompted few graduates from Film and Television Institutes of India to come together and thus the Institute of Film and Video Technology was established with a sole objective of providing professional education in Cinema and Television Technology. The IFVT endeavors to take Cinema Education to the places where Cinema is not made and Cinema is not taught. IFVT opens a window of opportunities to those who have no access to the world of Cinema. OUR MISSION: To strive to give Cinema Education a Professional status Equivalent to other professional Degrees such as Medical, Engineering, Computers etc by providing a Bachelors degree in Cinema & Television with Master’s degree & PhD in cinema thereafter. FACILITIES AND SERVICES: IFVT draws its highly experienced faculty from internationally renowned Film Institutes and from the film industry. Apart from the permanent faculty, the IFVT has tie ups and arrangements with reputed artistes and technicians from the film world to train & share their experiences with the students.
