9. Internationales Berlin Forum 22.2.-3.3. Des Jungen Films 1979
29. internationale filmfestspiele berlin 9. internationales berlin forum 22.2.-3.3. des jungen films 1979 INTERVIEW überwindet der Film die Grenzen von Zeit und Raum, um zu einer universellen Wahrheit zu gelangen. Am Ende des Films wird der junge Held aus seiner gewohnten Um• Land Indien 1971 gebung herausgeholt und von einem unsichtbaren Zuschauer einem Produktion Mrinal Sen Verhör unterworfen; auf provokative Fragen gibt er unsichere Ant• worten. Und schließlich kommt der Moment des Urteils — über die Welt und ihre Werte. Regie Mrinal Sen Mrinal Sen Buch Mrinal Sen, nach einer Erzählung von Ashish Burman Biofilmographie Kamera K.K.

Speaking Through Troubled Times
Speaking through Troubled Times Moinak Biswas I would like to talk about the encounter between cinema and a moment in our political history in this essay. Is it possible to identify the voices that cinema sifts out of a time, and make them narrate to us a story that was there in the films but not told? I would like to ask that question about the cusp of the nineteen sixties and seventies. 1. There now exists a sizeable literature on the relationship between history and cinema. Academic historians have looked at the relationship mainly in terms of representation of the past. The fragile status that facts attain in a popular medium was the starting point of historians’ serious engagement with film, the more sophisticated version of which took up the issue of concretization of the past on screen, the process of giving body to a time that is gone, and the necessary ambivalence that it brings on. The other focus of the discussion has been narrative of course, the relationship of the events in history as they appear on screen. Since the larger historians’ debate had narrative as the cardinal point of contention - narrativity as a category came to problematize the entire question of truth-telling in historiography in the wake of semiotic criticism - the filmic imperatives of sequencing of events from the past has been another cause of concern. Professional historians such as Natalie Davis and Robert Rosenstone have written on these questions quite extensively [1], as have Daniel Walkowitz, R. C. Raack and Robert Brent Toplin, all of whom have developed strong ties with film and television production, as advisors and screenwriters [2]. -
Reflections of Radical Political Movements on the Silver Screen: an Analysis
Global Media Journal-Indian Edition; Volume 12 Issue1; June 2020. ISSN:2249-5835 Reflections of Radical Political Movements on the Silver Screen: An Analysis Aakash Shaw Assistant Professor and Head, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Vivekananda College (Affiliated to the University of Calcutta) [email protected] Abstract Jean – Louis Comolli and Jean Narboni described film as a particular product, manufactured within given economic relations, and involving labour to produce. This is a condition to which ‘independent film-makers’ and the ‘new cinema’ are subject, involving a number of workers and as a material product it is also considered as an ideological product of the system. No film makers can by individual efforts, change the economic relations governing the manufacture and distribution of her/his films. The radical political movements which culminated from the peasant uprising in 1967, spread like firestorm and eventually turned out to be an urban phenomenon. Films invoke current evaluations founded upon new criteria which are marked by the representation of power structures, authoritative institutions, engaging contestations and ideological apparatuses frozen in a specific time and space. Film reproduces reality that is an expression of prevailing ideology and seeks to re-interpret or find inferences and possible explications of the discourse from the past. In the context of radical political movements, the paper seeks to understand and analyze cinematic portrayal of Naxalite movement not only as peasants uprising but as a socio-economic approach arising as a response to the exploitation and subjugation prevalent in the semi-feudal and semi-colonial socio-economic structure. -

Und doch geht es weiter. Von Jahr zu Jahr wird der Anblick schmerzlicher, der Schmutz schmutziger, die Armut militanter, die Verzweiflung verzweifelter. Jedesmal, wenn ich nach Kalkutta zurückkehre, habe ich den Eindruck einer einschüchternden, höllischen Stadt. Unerlösbar, wahrscheinlich zum Untergang verurteilt" Dieses Zitat von James Cameron bildet den Epilog zu Mrinal Sens Kalkutta-Episode. "Es ist kein Dokumentarfilm. Ich versuche nicht, Lösungen zu finden. Es geht mir nicht darum, wie alt Kalkutta ist, oder wer es gegründet hat. Es ist ein Porträt im Sinne von 'Ich und meine Stadt'", sagt Sen nach Abschluß der Drehar beiten. Was er in seinem kaleidoskopischen Beitrag aufspürt, ist die Widersprüchlichkeit der Stadt, die Koexistenz der wider sprüchlichsten Emotionen. Unvorhersagbarkeit, Gefühllosigkeit, Heftigkeit der Gefühle, Grausamkeit, Zartheit. Eine Intensität, die vielleicht hilft, den unausweichlich scheinenden Untergang zu verhindern. Biofilmographie Mrinal Sen, geboren 1923 in Ost-Bengalen (heute Bangladesch). Nach einer Ausbildung zum Physiker begann er 1956 seine Laufbahn als Filmregisseur mit Root Bhore. -

The Indian Emergency 231 THE INDIAN EMERGENCY 9 Aesthetics of State Control A confirmed plagiarist speaks of some of the FFC’s significant produc- tions as third-rate copies of third-rate foreign films. A globe-trotting socialite whose sole claim to be a critic is her access to people and places (and who ecstacizes over Manoj Kumar’s Shor) aids the big sharks by her learned associations. A self-confessed amateur, applau- ded for his bold themes, speaks of films as ‘formal exercises’ when they are not in his own blundering idiom. Others disguise their con- cern for financial return (on both ‘public’ and ‘private’ money!) in terms of mass communication. Yet another old hand at bringing humanism to the box office in outrageous costumes advises the gov- ernment to nationalize cinema before it finances films which make an attempt at speaking a radical language. Utopian ideas always subvert their own declared purpose. Even in the unlikely event of nationalization, given the honesty of our bureaucrats and the social- ism of our system, one can visualize what new monsters will emerge. Some of these suggestions and comments may, indeed, be well inten- tioned, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to sift out the cinema’s enemies from its friends. – Kumar Shahani (1974) 1 Most of these stories featured the then Information and Broadcasting Minister, Vidya Charan Shukla. D.R. Mankekar The June 1975 declaration by Indira Gandhi’s government of a ‘grave and Kamala Mankekar (1977: 81) write: ‘With the vulnerable film emergency [whereby] the security of India . threatened by exter- industry [V.C.] Shukla played ducks and drakes. -

It is a critical-historical account of the transitional era, roughly from 1998 to 2018, and examines practices and decisions taken ‘on the ground’ by film sound recordists, editors, designers and mixers. My work explores the histories and genealogies of the transition by analysing the individual, as well as collective, aesthetic concerns of film workers migrating from the celluloid to the digital age. My inquiry aimed to explore linkages between the digital turn and shifts in production practices, notably sound recording, sound design and sound mixing. The study probes the various ways in which these shifts shaped the aesthetics, styles, genre conventions, and norms of image-sound relationships in Indian cinema in comparison with similar practices from Euro-American film industries. -

Mrinal Sen (1923 – 2018)
HUMANITIES INSTITUTE Stuart Blackburn, Ph.D. Mrinal Sen (1923 – 2018) (Sen as a young man) Life Mrinal Sen, one of a trio of great Indian film-makers in the middle decades of the 20th century, was born into a Hindu family in a city in what was then the Province of Bengal in British India. He went to Calcutta, the location of his most famous films, as a university student, during which time he became closely associated with (although not a member of) the Communist Party of India (CPI). His early cultural activity was not with cinema but with a leftist theatre group in Calcutta. Like many of his characters, he was forced to take a job that he did not want (a salesman for a pharmaceutical company outside the city). In his leisure time, however, he began to read about aesthetics and film- making. Before long, he landed a position as a sound technician in a Calcutta film studio, and his career was launched. (Sen on the set of Mrigayaa) His first two films, produced when he was in his early 30s, were only moderately successful. His big breakthrough in terms of popular success came with Baishey Shravan (Wedding Day) in 1960, although he still had little financial backing. That changed with Bhuvan Shome (Mr Bhuvan Shome) in 1969, which put him on the international stage of film-makers. After that, Sen made his famous Calcutta Trilogy and other politically-motivated films that shone a light on contemporary social and political issues. In the heady days of the 1960s and 1970s, his hard-hitting political messages won him audiences in the international film festival circuit and among intellectuals across the world.
