November 25, 2010 IFFIDAILY 5 CII’s workshop: Strategies to get your movie to global film festivals & markets Prominent Indian classical dancers Pandit Birju Maharaj, Sitara Devi and Dr Sonal Mansingh at the inauguration of Dancing Feet, a film festival on Classical Dances and Gurus, at Black Box, Kala Academy, on Wednesday. Photo Division Dancing Feet film fest begins Dancing gurus Pandit Birju Maharaj, Sitara Devi, Dr Sonal Mansingh were felicitated by goa chief Minister Digambar Kamath and Director-general of Films Division Kuldeep Sinha at the inauguration of Dancing Feet, a film festival on classical Dances and gurus, on Wednesday at Black Box, Kala academy. Last year’s a section called ‘Moments with the Maestros’ was organised on the same lines to preserve the glory of indian classical music. The new generation must not take whatever music is being made today as the true music of indian culture, Sinha said. “Whether i am here or not i will continue with my efforts to preserve the indian culture and heritage.” “i just wanted to show everybody that an HiV+ person can do everything like a normal person,” K. H. Pradip Kumar, who fought against all odds to build his body before he went on to win the Mr Manipur title despite of being HiV+. Mr india, a documentary featuring Pradip Kumar was screened on day-two of iFFi-2010, as part of the indian Panorama’s non-feature section. “i also wanted to fight (against) the discrimination and stigma that society puts us through. Don’t be broken hearted, look at me,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday. He said he never told anybody about his condition before he won the Mr Manipur title. He went on with his aspirations of body building even when the doctor advised against it, Pradip said, adding that his family was very supportive during his ordeal. “all we want is moral support”, he said. Meanwhile, the director of the documentary, Haoban Paban Kumar, who was also present at the press meet, said for him Pradip is Mr india. “He won the Bronze and Silver medal consecutively at the competition but to me he is Mr india,” he said. Talking about the documentary, he said: “My film is a celebration of life. The idea behind the movie was to support the cause of people suffering from HiV. This was a story that people needed to know. and i thought that if i made this movie it would help Pradip too. it took me two years to finish this movie and my friends from Satyajit Ray Film and Television institute (SRFTi) in Kolkata were with me throughout,” he said. asked about the situation of film industry in Manipur, he said the “celluloid is almost extinct due to financial problems, but digital cinema is Sonal Mansingh touched Sitara Devi’s feet, had come on a wheelchair. Sitara Devi said, “Birju is my brother and my guruji’s brother.” She seemed jovial. These iconic personalities were felicitated with Shrifal, shawl and mementoes. “i met with an accident. i was not fully recovered, yet i presented my first dance on indian soil. Sitaraji was presentthen.’Unhone mere gale pe kala dhaga bandh diya’. She appreciated my performance,” recalled Dr Sonal Mansingh. The function was lively, given Sitara Devi’s anecdotes and the camaraderie amongst the three stalwarts of indian classical Dances. Films Divisions, which has managed to meticulously preserve all aspects of indian culture like information, social development, human resources, craft, etc., has come up with the subject that touches a cord with the indian sentiment. The section titled “Dancing Feet” pays tribute to the renowned dancers and gurus by showing films based on them. This was conceived as a sequel to the well-received programme ‘Moments with the Maestros’, held as part of 40th iFFi last year. This year, the Division has presented 22 documentaries on indian classical dances, including biopics on some of the exponents of this great art like Mallika Sarabhai, Dr Sonal Mansingh, Kanak Rele, Uma Sharma, Raja Radha Reddy etc. have been included. —Sonal Makhijani Azad ‘I wanted to show HIV+ people can do everything like a normal person’ Says K.

How to get it into the prestigious film festivals of the world? Both are at least million dollar questions, if not more. confederation of indian industry (cii)’s annual Big Picture conference, held regularly at iFFi, took the shape of a workshop this year, and tried to answer these very questions. The event, held at Hotel Taj Vivanta, had a panel comprising L. Suresh (President, Film Federation of india), Jiten Hemdev (film distributor), Frank Stehling (MD, Prime House consulting, Berlin), Uma Dacunha (consultant, various film festivals) and Meenakshi Shedde (consultant, various film festivals). it was moderated by natarajan Vidyasagar (consultant, cii Media and Entertainment Division and Editor, Pickle magazine). Mr. Suresh confessed that many india filmmakers, including he himself, were guilty of procrastination and of not making due preparation required to help their films reach international film festivals abroad. Stehling felt that famous directors or wellknown star casts are the initial pulls that selectors feel when looking at any film title. Distributor-buyer Hemdev bemoaned the absence of any indian film market on the lines of the american or HongKong markets, where, in spite of strong local content, one could peruse thousand of titles and get deals done at attractive, affordable and recoverable prices. He suggested that small producers should make films in High Definition format, and aim for the Pay Per View and Satellite sectors to generate revenues. often asked what kind of films do programmers and curators look for, Shedde confessed that a film that appeared specially designed for a festival often puts them off, and they, instead, get hooked by ‘different’ content. But she suggested that makers should do their home-work and analyse the films that make it to festivals like cannes, to learn the tricks of the trade, instead of coming to curators like her, and pleading to get their films ‘in’, somehow. High quality sub-titling is a great asset, which most indian films, sadly, lack. Da cunha was despondent over the fact that distributors do not promote art-house films at all, and shy away even from free publicity, like emails and SMSs. She opined that analysis and research of ‘festival quality’ was good, but content should be original, a case in point being the recent goan film, Paltadacho Munis (The Man Beyond the Bridge, a small film about a forest guard), which was made by a largely amateur unit, but wowed audiences in many festivals abroad. among the attendees was Bengaluru-based director Prakash, who touched on the cinema situation in his city, where75% of cinemas had gone completely digital. Rajesh Kumar Singh, Mumbai-based film, television and theatre director, felt that the need of the hour was distributors with a passion for art-house cinema, and access to cinemas, on the lines of the akashwani auditorium in Mumbai, which screened parallel cinema from india and abroad during the 70s. That was history, stressed Da cunha, and saw no possibility of that era returning. a strong public television network, like the one in germany, could provide a good platform for art-house films, especially in these days of dwindling theatre audiences, was the solution proposed by Stehling. — SIrAj SyeD
