Press Kit 2016 Our Vision PRESS KIT 2016 OUR VISION You don’t come to Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star to see a film, you come to experience it! The Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Festival with Star is an inclusive movie feast. We showcase the latest cutting-edge, independent cinema – art house fare alongside genre movies from Bollywood, Hollywood and cult international movies. We offer the best of world cinema to the people of Mumbai and we offer the best of Indian cinema to the world. The Festival is run by the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image popularly known as MAMI. Jio MAMI with Star is a space where Aamir Khan, Quentin Tarantino, Zhang Yimou and Rajinikanth would all feel equally at home. This is a space where we revel in the sheer pleasure of cinema, the joy it gives us and how much it enhances our lives. The goal is to nurture and ignite a passion for movies. Jio MAMI with Star is also about helping independent filmmakers gain the credibility and publicity they justly deserve. The festival provides a forum for talented filmmakers to be recognized for their work, creativity, and achievements. We want Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival with Star to be shorthand for excellence in cinema. BRAND IDENTITY: FISHING FOR TALENT For a city with strong roots in cinema, we envisioned for MAMI an identity that would be both inclusive and Indian. The new identity needed to represent the wide array of styles, events and people who are associated with it, as well as the city that it calls home. The new logo, “Fishing for Talent,” perfectly encapsulates that. Mumbai is a collection of islands, communities, hopes and dreams. Whatever our differences, we put them aside for the movies. MAMI is always looking for fresh talent and in that sense, we are ‘fishing for talent.’ The two fish creates a geometric pattern that forms the Devanagari representation of MAMI in Hindi. The use of the Devanagari script sets us apart from other international film festivals, and the simple geometric forms combined with the use of yellow make it friendly, approachable, but most of all, Indian. An identity we can all rally behind and one we instantly relate to as a representation of Mumbai. JIO MAMI WITH STAR: FILM CLUB YEAR ROUND The Jio MAMI Film Club with Star was launched in May with a conversation between Sir Ian McKellen and Amir Khan. We followed that up with Indian premiers of films such as Brahman Naman and Google’s India in a Day. MAMI is committed to bring in great film content and conversations through the year. The MAMI FILM CLUB conducts year round events which include film screenings, Master classes, Film Appreciation Workshops, Knowledge Bootcamps, Digital Knowledge Series and Special Film Programmes for Children and Young Adults. EXCELLENCE IN CINEMA AWARDS The Festival, every year, identifies and awards the contribution of great artists in the world of cinema. The ‘Excellence in Cinema Award’ provides a great opportunity to highlight, applaud and promote works of such individuals. Jio MAMI with Star, in its 18th edition will honor achievements of two such film makers who have created memorable films over the years. SAI PARANJPYE Sai Paranjpye is a prominent screenwriter and director who has been working in India cinema for the last four decades. Sai Paranjpye made a trendsetting impact.

JIA ZHANGKE A pre-eminent figure among the Sixth Generation of Chinese film makers, Zhangke’s primary focus has been on a cinematic representation of his country’s post-Mao and post-globalization cultural history. His highly distinctive style --- a mix of long-shot, single-take compositions, landscape tableaux, direct sound and blaring pop music --- combined with a humane concern for the working-class and poorer sections of society have elevated Zhangke into a significant and politically astute chronicler of modern-day China. From his first two narrative features (Pickpocket, 1997; Platform, 2000) through to one of his docu-fiction hybrids (24 City, 2008) and up to his most recent films (A Touch of Sin, 2013; Mountains May Depart, 2015), Zhangke has offered a unique perspective on a transitional generation whose commonplace lives evoke universal resonance.

The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • Dossier-De-Presse-L-Ombrelle-Bleue
    Splendor Films présente Synopsis Dans un petit village situé dans les montagnes de l’Himalaya, une jeune fille, Biniya, accepte d’échanger son porte bonheur contre une magnifique ombrelle bleue d’une touriste japonaise. Ne quittant plus l’ombrelle, l’objet L’Ombrelle semble lui porter bonheur, et attire les convoitises des villageois, en particulier celles de Nandu, le restaurateur du village, pingre et coléreux. Il veut à tout prix la récupérer, mais un jour, l’ombrelle disparaît, et Biniya bleue mène son enquête... Note de production un film de Vishal Bhardwaj L’Ombrelle bleue est une adaptation cinématographique très fidèle à la nouvelle éponyme de Ruskin Bond. Le film a été tourné dans la région de l’Himachal Pradesh, située au nord de l’Inde, à la frontière de la Chine et Inde – 2005 – 94 min – VOSTFR du Pakistan, dans une région montagneuse. La chaîne de l’Himalaya est d’ailleurs le décor principal du film, le village est situé à flanc de montagne. Inédit en France L’Ombrelle bleue reprend certains codes et conventions des films de Bollywood. C’est pourtant un film original dans le traitement de l’histoire. Alors que la plupart des films de Bollywood durent près de trois heures et traitent pour la plupart d’histoires sentimentales compliquées par la religion et les obligations familiales, L’Ombrelle bleue s’intéresse davantage aux caractères de ses personnages et à la nature environnante. AU CINÉMA Le film, sorti en août 2007 en Inde, s’adresse aux enfants, et a pour LE 16 DÉCEMBRE vedettes Pankaj Kapur et Shreya Sharma.

  • Psychoanalysis of Female Characters in Vishal Bharadwaj's Trilogy
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Psychoanalysis of Female Characters in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Trilogy Maqbool, Omkara and Haider Shikha Rani, Research Scholar MJP Rohilkhand University Bareilly Alka Mehra Assistant Professor Government Degree College Bisalpur MJP Rohilkhand University Bareilly Abstract: Freud’s theory of psychology that he referred as psychoanalysis has been accepted and extended in analyzing literature and other arts too. Freud believes that literature and other arts are like dreams and psycho symptoms which contain imaginative fancies, so literature and other arts are capable to fulfill wishes that are commonly restricted by social standards and norms. My research paper is an attempt to focus on the psychoanalysis of female protagonists in Bharadwaj’s worldwide acclaimed movies ‘Maqbool’, ‘Omkara’ and ‘Haider’ which are an adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous tragedies ‘Macbeth’, ‘Othello’ and ‘Hamlet’. These female characters are just like puppet in grip of unconscious urges. This study further analysis human’s helplessness under the arrest of its uncontrolled passions. Through this study, I want to find out the strong and weak unconscious fancies of Nimmi, Dolly and Gazala and their fight against their own id, ego and superego which brutally influenced them mentally as well as physically. Nimmi who is a complex character, struggles as a mistress of don and as a beloved of Maqbool. Dolly suffers mentally due to male’s suspicious nature and patriarchal society whereas Gazala tries to make conciliation with her second marriage and with her adult obsessive son. Keyword: psychoanalysis, sex complex obsessive, conflict. Shakespeare’s plays have been adapted all over the world due to his universality and cosmopolitan nature.

  • Magazine1-4Final.Qxd (Page 2)
    Comical and illogical...Page 4 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2016 INTERNET EDITION : www.dailyexcelsior.com/magazine Why disrespect....Page 3 TALWARA goes organic Dr. Banarsi Lal Jammu and Kashmir is a mountainous state in which Jammu region is predominantly sub-tropical while Kashmir and Ladakh regions are temperate. The total geographical area of Jammu & Kashmir state is 2, 22, 236 sq. km and its population is 1, 25, 48,926 as per 2011 Census. Agriculture is the mainstay of Jammu and Kashmir state. This sector provides employment to about 70 per cent of the state population. Agriculture contributes about 65 per cent of the state revenue which signi- fies the overdependence of the state on agriculture. The average size of land holding of the state is only 0.67 hectare against 1.33 hectares' land holding size on national basis. Organic farming is picking up pace in the state and there is need of awareness and trainings of farmers for organic farming. J&K has huge potential for organic farming as the large area in the state is already under semi- organic cultivation in hilly districts of the state due to the lack of availability of chemical fertilizers in these areas and the farmers of these areas avoid to apply the chemical fertilizers. Basmati rice of R. S. Pura, rajmash of Bhaderwah, pota- to of Gurez and Machil and red rice of Tangdar, Kupwara, ginger and turmer- ic of Pouni, Reasi are major exportable organic products in the state and have the potential to fetch more returns in the market. Organic farming means holis- tic production systems which refer earth friendly methods for cultivation and food processing.
