Argentine whiz kid to homemade helicopter guru By Daniel Merolla rowing up in a small town on the Argentine plains, Augusto Cicare was so fascinated by flight that he took apart his mother’s old bedframe and turned it into the fuselage of a helicopter. That first flying machine, which Cicare built with a small motor when he was 18, hovered just a few centimeters above the ground. But he kept tinkering, adding a more powerful motor and better Gscraps until three years later he had made the Cicare CH-1, the first helicopter built in Latin America. That was 1958. Cicare has been building aircraft ever since, turning his pas- sion into a boutique ultra-light helicopter business that still operates from the Argentine flatlands but has drawn clients from all over the world. Today, Cicare is 77 years old and builds about 20 customised helicopters a year Augusto Cicare with two of his sons and a team of around 30 builders and engineers at a factory in Saladillo, a farming town surrounded by soy fields.

  • Gangs of Wasseypur As an Active Archive of Popular Cinema
    M A D H U J A M U K H E R J E E Of Recollection, Retelling, and Cinephilia: Reading Gangs of Wasseypur as an Active Archive of Popular Cinema This paper studies Gangs of Wasseypur (Parts 1 and 2, 2012) as a definitive text via which Anurag Kashyap’s style became particularly provocative and pointed. While a range of films (both directed and produced by Kashyap) seemingly bear a certain ‘Kashyap mark’ in the manner in which they tackle subjects of violence and belligerent speech with an unpredictable comic sense, I argue that, more importantly, these films work within a particular visual framework with regard to its mise-en- scène (including the play of light, camera movement, modes of performance), as well as produce recognisable plot structures (involving capricious and realistic events), settings and locations (like the city’s underbelly, police stations, etc.), and so on. Indeed, Kashyap has made a set of films—including Paanch (unreleased), No Smoking (2007) and Ugly (2014)—which deal with similar issues, and explore contemporary cityscapes, especially Mumbai, with fervidness, thereby commenting on urban dystopia.1 Furthermore, these films speak to what has been analysed as the ‘Bombay noir’ mode by Lalitha Gopalan, by means of thoughtful art and set design, engaging (and often hand-held) camera movements and swish-pans, uses of blue or yellow filters, character prototypes, and reflective performances, which generate a world that is engulfed by a deep sense of disquiet and distress. This paper draws attention to such stylistic explorations, especially JOURNAL OF THE MOVING IMAGE 91 to the ways in which it has developed through Kashyap’s recent films.

However, sometimes the two combine to form a heady cocktail. The starlet bags a 100 crore film and the underdog becomes the superstar. The latter is a tricky balance—there’s the formulaic superstar and then there’s the superstar who paves his or her own way and creates cinema that goes way beyond the norm. Over the last few years, the tides have been busy changing, contorting and transforming our home-grown film industry. And let’s face it, in an industry raking in the moolah, thanks to wish-fulfilment and feel- good stories, we’re suckers for the runt who becomes the alpha.

But it turned out that he was right. In March 2009, after years of trying to get a producer on board, Anurag and his friend Sanjay Singh raised enough money for me to turn that same script into a film. They packed me off to shoot and backed me all the way to make the film I always wanted to.

  • 'Beep'- the Sound of Erasure
    ‘Beep’- the Sound of Erasure: The Censored Text as an Aesthetic Device Ishani Dey Abstract This paper is invested in exploring the sensory affect that is created through censorship. It is invested in unravelling the complex interaction between the films of Anurag Kashyap and the institution of censorship, the sensibilities of which are capitalized and appropriated into the aesthetic effect of the film. It also looks at how such a deployment constructs the cult of a transgressive auteur. I argue that the deafening ‘beep’ that screams of the otherwise silencing practices of censorship is what guides the way to unraveling the subversion of censorship in the filmic text. Taking cue from Žižek’s Pervert’s Guide to Cinema (2006) which looks at cinema as the ultimate pervert art, telling us how to desire, this paper asserts that censorship doesn’t erase the profane, instead it points to its very utterance. I argue how Kashyap’s films’ profilmic text becomes the site of censorship standing out as material evidence to its very censoring. The ‘beeped’ or censored word becomes a provocation focusing attention onto itself by mobilizing its unspeakability through marketing the product as “controversial”. I posit that Anurag Kashyap capitalizes on this recognition. I look at the force of publicity that is created by censorship in Kashyap’s public discourse on censorship, 87 Volume 3.

  • Recycle Industry: the Visual Economy of Remakes in Contemporary Bombay Film Culture by Ramna Walia “Audiences Now Want New Stories
    Recycle Industry: The Visual Economy of Remakes in Contemporary Bombay Film Culture by Ramna Walia “Audiences now want new stories. The problem is Bollywood has no tradition of producing original screenplays" —Chander Lall, lawyer “The brain is a recycling bin, not a creative bin. What goes in comes out in different ways” —Mahesh Bhatt, filmmaker and producer hus spoke filmmaker and producer Mahesh Bhatt when Mr. Chander Lall, the legal representative of two of Hollywood's major studios issued “warning Tletters” to film producers in Bombay who were poised to “indianize” a series of Hollywood films.1 While Lall referred to Bollywood’s widespread practice of making uncredited remakes of Hollywood films as “tradition,” Bhatt defiantly saw these remakes as a symptom of a larger mechanism of recycling material. In fact, the influence of other cinemas on Bombay films was reflected narratively and in other aspects of filmmaking such as fashion, poster art etc. Thus, at the center of this debate was the issue of Bombay cinema's identity as a bastardized clone of Hollywood and the counter argument that noted the distinctiveness of Bombay film culture by highlighting the “difference” in the manner of production. In view of these unacknowledged networks of exchange, the term “remake” was often used within popular discourse as an underhanded accusation of plagiarism against Bombay films. Moreover, because most of Bombay cinema’s remakes of Hollywood films were un-credited, they never secured the legitimacy attained in Hollywood and world cinemas wherein this process was seen as a reinterpretation of an earlier work or an updated modus operandi.

  • Middlebrow Cinema
    3 MUMBAI MIDDLEBROW Ways of thinking about the middle ground in Hindi cinema Rachel Dwyer The word ‘middlebrow’, associated with Victorian phrenology and cultural snobbery, is usually a derogatory term and may not seem useful as a way of understanding Hindi cinema, now usually known as Bollywood (Rajadhyaksha 2003; Vasudevan 2010). However, the social and economic changes of the last twenty-five years, which are producing India’s growing new middle classes, a social group whose culture is closely linked to the cultural phenomenon of Bollywood (Dwyer 2000; 2014a), suggest that the term may usefully be deployed to look at the often ignored middle ground of Hindi cinema, which lies somewhere between the highbrow art cinema and lowbrow masala (‘spicy’, entertainment) films (Dwyer 2011a). I suggest that the term can be used for a certain type of contemporary Hindi cinema which can be traced back several decades, in parallel with the changes that have affected India’s middle classes. Defining the middlebrow In academic discourse, commentators have turned to Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of ‘culture moyenne’ (outlined, for example, in his study of photography), to describe the middlebrow as a cultural category that is imitative of legitimate, high cul- ture, and makes art accessible in a popular form (Bourdieu 1996; 1999, 323). Beth Driscoll’s study of middlebrow literature over the twenty-first century offers eight features of the category: middle-class, reverential, commercial, feminized, medi- ated, recreational, emotional and earnest (2014, 3). Sally Faulkner, on the other hand, defines middlebrow cinema as combining high production values, subject matter that is serious but not challenging and cultural references that are presented in an accessible form (2013, 8).

Jain Vishva Bharati, Ladnun First Edition : 2019 Price : Rs. Printed at : Pragati Offset Pvt Ltd Who is a Jain Shravak By, Acharya Mahapragya Blessings Two types of spiritual practices or righteousness are propounded in Jain religion: 1. Shrut dharm (scriptural knowledge) 2. Chaaritra dharm (conduct) Chaaritra dharm is further classified into two: 1. Agaar chaaritra dharm (conduct for a layman) 2. Anagaar chaaritra dharm (conduct for an ascetic) Only those people who are endowed with deep detachment to the materialistic pleasures and are full of spiritual fervor can embrace anagaar chaaritra dharm. For a common layman it is difficult or next to impossible to pursue the ascetic’s conduct. The ideology of a common layman having faith in religion is portrayed in a stanza of shravak pratikraman as: dhany hain munivar mahaavrat paalate sadbhaav se sarva hinsa tyaag kar ve ji rahe samabhaav se hai mahaavrat saadhy mera kintu vah duhsaadhy hai par anuvrat maarg madhyam saral aur susaadhy hai A lay person contemplates that although mahaavrat (conduct of an ascetic) is their goal but at present it is arduous to follow whereas the path of anuvrat (conduct of a layman) is simple and easy to practice.
