  • Making a Social Connection, Cinematically
    68 Pages Subscription: `.1100 p.a. THE MAGAZINE FOR PRODUCTIVE AGEING April 2018 FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION ONLY Making a Social Connection, CinematicallyApril | 2018 Dignity Dialogue FIRST WORD here’s not much to do once you retire. It’s a lament heard so often that it set me surfing the internet to Tsee if skills and experience accumulated over the years can be put to use in a gainful manner. And surprisingly, there is so much you can actually do provided you get into the spirit of Huned Contractor volunteering. Not only the large metros but even the rural areas have several non-government organisations (NGOs) engaged in various social upliftment and empowerment programmes and most of them seem to be in need of experienced hands who can contribute to not only the daily administration work but also pitch in for planning new programmes. For example, I recently came across an NGO working in the field of watershed development in the mofussil areas of Pune district that was looking for retired seniors who could help them out with their training and education programmes so as to carry the message of water management far and wide. Similarly, if you are willing to travel and stay in remote places, you could help Tibetan refugees assimilate seamlessly into India at a place called Dharamsala. You can volunteer in a number of areas ranging from teaching English and foreign languages, photography and yoga to creating writing and fashion designing. This kind of work is being offered by Lha and you can check out more details on www.lhasocialwork.org.

    Sumitra Bhave Films Sumitra Bhave B-46, West End Village, Bhusari Colony, Paud Road, Kothrud, Pune-411038. Cell no. : 9822033075 email : [email protected] SUMITRA BHAVE Sumitra Bhave, a social - work teacher and a social scientist-researcher turned to filmmaking in 1985 to communicate her research findings with the illiterate women in India. She thought no other medium was effective enough to convey the verbal and non-verbal thoughts and feelings as the audio-visual one. Throughout her journey the effort has been to combine filmmaking as an effective tool for education, and as an art form. She has four books to her credit. Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukthankar, her associate as a co-director, have directed 16 feature films, more than 70 short films, 3 TV serials and 5 telefilms, all of which were written by Sumitra Bhave. Their films have received six international awards, 11 national awards (including the Golden Lotus for the Best Indian Film for ‘Kaasav’) and more than 45 state awards. She has won several individual awards for story, screenplay, lyrics, art direction, costume design and direction. Her films revolve around the socio-political and economic conditions and hence are more relatable to all the classes of society. The films have been screened right from the grassroots level of rural parts to the international platforms in all the six continents.
