Dialogue Diálogo Publication trimestrielle multilingue Multilingual quarterly magazine Revista trimestral multilingüe Dialogue Diálogo Geula (Redemption) de Joseph Madmony & Boaz Yehonatan Yaacov EDITO Le dialogue favorisant la compréhension et la cohésion sociale et spirituelle entre les différentes cultures et religions, fait partie de l’ADN d’OCIC/SIGNIS. Ses activités dans les festivals internationaux de cinéma sont considérées par certains comme prophétiques dans le monde chrétien et non-chrétien, mais aussi dans le monde du cinéma. Elles défendent le cinéma de qualité qui exprime également des valeurs humaines et spirituelles. Déjà dans les années 1950, elles entraient en dialogue avec d’autres cultures/religions que la leur. Ainsi des films indiens comme Pather Panchali de Satyajit Ray (Mention OCIC Cannes 1955) et Do Ankhen Barah Haath de Shantaram V. (Prix OCIC Berlin 1958), ou celui du Japonais Kon Ichikawa, La Harpe Birmane (Prix OCIC Venise 1956) ont été primés. Pour ce film, le jury voulait souligner la portée spirituelle et humaniste d’une œuvre émanant d’une religion non- chrétienne. Des festivals comme Religion Today (Trento) et Popoli & Religioni (Terni) ont pour thème principal le dialogue entre plusieurs religions. D’autres festivals comme celui de Barcelone (MCEC) et de Guadalajara (FIC) présentent des films de différentes religions et cultures afin de rassembler toutes les communautés. Des festivals comme Visions du réel (Nyon) et DOK/ Leipzig veulent, à travers les jurys interreligieux soutenir artistiquement des films promouvant le dialogue interculturel. Des festivals dans le monde musulman (Fajr/Téhéran) et dans le monde juif (Jérusalem) ont invité SIGNIS à développer ce dialogue et à promouvoir des films qui défendent des valeurs qu’ils ont en commun. Depuis 1952, en Égypte et au Sri Lanka, des membres de SIGNIS construisent, à travers le cinéma de leur pays, un dialogue avec le monde musulman, bouddhiste et hindou. 2 CineMag EDITO Dialogue promoting social and spiritual understanding and cohesion among different cultures and religions is part of the OCIC / SIGNIS DNA. Some consider their Jury activities in international film festivals as prophetic for the Christian and non-Christian world, but also for the world of cinema. They defend quality cinema that expresses human and spiritual values. A considerable number of its awards are considered as classics in film history. Already in the 1950s, these juries entered into dialogue with other cultures-religions than their own. Indian films such as Pather Panchali by Satyajit Ray (OCIC Mention at Cannes 1955) and Do Ankhen Barah Haath by Shantaram V. (OCIC Prize Berlin, 1958) or Japan’s Kon Ichikawa The Burmese Harp (OCIC Prize Venice 1956) were lauded. For Ichikawa’s film the jury wanted to point out the spiritual and humanitarian significance of a work from a non-Christian religion. Festivals such as Religion Today (Trento) and Popoli & Religioni (Terni) have engaged in dialogue with other religions as their reflection theme. Others like those in Barcelona (MCEC) and Guadalajara (FIC) are working with films with stories about different religions and cultures to bring the different faith communities together. Festivals such as Visions du réel (Nyon) and DOK/Leipzig want interreligious juries to artistically support films promoting inter-cultural dialogue. Festivals in the Muslim (FAJR/Tehran) and Jewish (Jerusalem) worlds, have invited SIGNIS members to develop dialogue and to promote films that uphold values they share. Since 1952 members of SIGNIS in Egypt and Sri Lanka have been building through the cinema a dialogue with the Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu world in their country.

EDITO El diálogo que promueve la comprensión y la cohesión social y espiritual entre las diferentes culturas y religiones forma parte del ADN de OCIC / SIGNIS. Algunos consideran que sus actividades como jurado en festivales internacionales de cine, son proféticas para el mundo cristiano y no cristiano, pero también para el mundo del cine. Un número considerable de los premios que otorgan defienden un cine de calidad que expresa valores humanos y espirituales. Un número considerable de sus premios son considerados clásicos en la historia del cine. Ya en los años cincuenta, estos jurados entablaron un diálogo con otras culturas y religiones que no eran las suyas. Películas indias comoPather Panchali de Satyajit Ray (Cannes, 1955) y Do Ankhen Barah Haath de Shantaram V. (Berlín, 1958) o la película japonesa dirigida por Kon Ichikawa Arca birmana (Venecia, 1956) fueron elogiadas. Con el filme de Ichikawa, el jurado remarcó el talante espiritual y humano de una obra procedente de una religiosidad no cristiana. Festivales como Religion Today y Popoli & Religioni han entablado diálogos con otras religiones como tema de reflexión. Otros como los de Barcelona (MCEC) y Guadalajara (FIC) exhiben largometrajes provenientes de diferentes religiones y culturas, con la intención de unir a las diferentes expresiones religiosas de sus ciudades. Festivales como Visions du Réel (Nyon) y DOK/Leipzig quieren que los jurados interreligiosos apoyen artísticamente las películas que promueven el diálogo intercultural. Los festivales en el mundo musulmán (FAJR/ Teherán) y Judío (Jerusalén) han invitado a SIGNIS a participar en un jurado interreligioso para desarrollar el diálogo y promover películas que defiendan los valores que comparten. Desde 1952, miembros de OCIC/SIGNIS han estado construyendo, a través del cine, un diálogo con el mundo musulmán en Egipto y, budista e Hindi, en Sri Lanka. EDITO CineMag 3 DIALOGUE Living together and understanding each other in a globalized world - It is all about values we share! Culture and religion are strongly intertwined and today they are all over the media, in politics, and in communities. With aesthetics and ethics, religion creates culture. Questions arise as to whether Islamic religion can be part of Western Culture, given that it is heavily influenced by modernity, Can Christianity, and how it embraces modernity, be part of Oriental culture shaped by Buddhism, Hinduism or/and Shintoism? Some cinema professionals express surprise at the idea of film and intercultural dialogue in general and specific interfaith dialogue. They can begin to understand ecumenical dialogue, dialogue between Catholics and Protestants, but seem to think that Christianity and its culture is so different from other world religions that interfaith sharing does not make sense. SIGNIS sees cinema as a meeting place for dialogue Pope John Paul II called media the new areopagus and his promotion of cinema and dialogue in his 1999 address to the Festival of the Third Millennium, held in Rome), there should be an eagerness for this kind of interfaith sharing, essential to understand also culture and to foster inter-cultural dialogue. Since 1947 OCIC, SIGNIS and Ecumenical juries have been giving at International film festivals many awards to films which come from countries with Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic cultures, and especially in recent decades to many films from Iran and North Africa. They all dramatize basic human values, shared values between all human beings no matter what their religion. OCIC, Unda and SIGNIS offices in Taiwan and Sri Lanka have made awards to films in Buddhist culture. The SIGNIS Prize in Zanzibar and the Catholic Cinema Centre awards in Cairo are made in a Muslim context. OCIC juries were active between 1977 and 1978 at the Cairo International Filmfestial and between 1978 and 1992 at the Carthage International Filmfestival in Tunisia. There is a strong dialogue between Hindus and Christians through film in India and several Hindu directors who studied in Kolkata with Gaston Roberge SJ express their indebtedness to him. Former OCIC president Ambros Eichenberger started from the 1970’s with a policy to foster ecumenical and interreligious and intercultural dialogue. After 9/11, 2001 an official delegation from the Iranian government and cinema industry visited the Vatican. This led to a mutual visit to Tehran’s Fajr festival in 2002 and the establishment of the SIGNIS Interfaith award there, which still continues. It wanted and wants to make clear that there is not a war of religions, or a clash of cultures, going on. A similar prize found place between 2006 and 2014 in Bangladesh, while in Australia, the Brisbane film festival between 2003 and 2008 established an interfaith jury composed with

  • Q1. What Is Retreating Monsoon? How Does It Differ from North-Eastern Monsoon? Explain
    Q1. What is retreating Monsoon? How does it differ from North-eastern Monsoon? Explain. Introduction In simple words, retreating means withdrawal. So, withdrawal of south-west monsoon winds from skies of north India during months of October and November is known as retreating monsoon. The withdrawal is gradually and takes about three months. Body Difference between retreating monsoon and north east monsoon: Retreating monsoon: • With retreat of the monsoons, the clouds disappear and the sky becomes clear. The day temperature starts falling steeply. • Monsoon rains weakens all over India except few south eastern states. • Monsoon trough weakens and gradually shifts south wards • Most severe and devastating tropical cyclones originate in the Indian seas especially in the Bay of Bengal due to retreating monsoons. • Direction of winds is from North west to south east and Winds blow from surface to sea there by carrying no moisture. • It is helpful in Rabi crop cultivation. North-eastern monsoon: • Northeast Monsoon affects only five sub-divisions of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, South Interior Karnataka, Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra Pradesh • On-set of north east monsoon coincides with retreating monsoon winds. • Unlike retreating monsoon, onset of north eastern monsoon is not clearly defined. • Winds change its direction to north easterly beginning with Tamil Nadu, along with substantial increase in rainfall intensity and spread beginning with Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. • Rainfall variation is huge in north-east monsoon. • El-Niño has no effect on north-eastern monsoon winds unlike south-western monsoon winds. • Winds blow from sea to land there by causing rainfall. For instance, monsoon winds absorb moisture while passing through Bay of Bengal and cause rainfall in parts of Andhra and Tamil Nadu.

    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies ISSN NO:: 2348 – 537X Indian cinema’s future at Oscars Paromita Gupta DSJ, University of Delhi, Delhi, India ABSTRACT Cinema is the reflection of our society. It acts as a mirror by reflecting the reality of our societies. Just like any other professional field, cinema is also bestowed with the recognition for who or what is the best among all. This comes in various formats including the pan world accepted and celebrated Academy Awards or Oscars. As per 2018 report by Statista, over 5,823 films were produced by leading film markets including India and China. From 1948 till 2019, Italy has topped the chart by winning 11 best International Feature Film, followed by France with 9 wins, while Mexico and South Korea became the newest member with Roma in 2018 and Parasite in 2019 respectively. Indian cinema is the world's largest film industry in terms of film production, with an annual output of 1,813 feature films as of 2018, and Bollywood is its largest film producer, with 364 Hindi films produced annually as of 2017. KEYWORDS: Oscars, Indian cinema at world level, Parallel Cinema, Bollywood, Film Federation on India INTRODUCTION The Oscars was first held in 1929, and is also the oldest of the four major annual American entertainment awards. The Awards has faced backlash for lack of diversity which is based on the statistics since 1929. To honour the foreign language films, the Special Achievement/Honorary Award was introduced in 1947. These awards, however, were not handed out on a regular basis (no award was given in 1953), and were not competitive since there were no nominees but simply one winning film per year.

  • Yashwantrao Chavan
    Yashwantrao Chavan MESSAGE Shri Yashwantrao Chavan, born on 12th March 1913 in a small village called Devrashtra in the then Satara district, hailed from a rural family with modest means. His father was a bailiff who succumbed to the epidemic of plague when Yashwantrao was only four years old. He was brought up by his mother under difficult circumstances. He grew up in a family where social and political reforms were a subject of daily debate and discourse. He spent about 15 months in jail but the period of incarceration turned out to be a blessing in disguise. There were many eminent scholars who were also in the same jail and they conducted virtual classes and turned the jail into a university. It was in the jail that he first absorbed knowledge of political ideologies and classical literature. When India's independence was on the horizon, he won the election to the Legislative Assembly in 1946 and began his political career as Parliamentary Secretary to the Home Minister, Shri Morarji Desai. Soon he got involved in the vortex of movement for the Samyukta Maharashtra. Eventually, he became the Chief Minister of bilingual State of Bombay in 1956. He made a name for himself with his capacity for work, candid dialogue with opposition and administrative acumen. The State of Maharashtra was formed on 1st May 1960 and Yashwantrao became the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra. In November 1962, he became the Defence Minister in the aftermath of the India-China conflict. He worked hard to restore the morale of the armed forces and to enhance his strength through modern weapons, better equipment, organizational changes and a harmonious relationship with the armed forces.
