    Chapter Two: Who is IFFLA?
    The author further talks about his interpretation of the festival, right from the name to its staff etc. I am not going to cut the following paragraphs because it needs to be read in one flow. “IFFLA stands for Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles. Its a carefully thought of name -INDIAN (proud to be one) FILM (a beautiful medium of expression) FESTIVAL (celebration)of...

    Chapter One: “Introduction”
    “I wasn’t feeling too well this time around. Maybe it was the California sun or the moisturizer that I applied to get away from it – but this time I wasn’t feeling too well. Being housed up in a small room at the “Orchid house” (aka Directors’ house), I was the youngest among the other legends that I shared the space with.” It...

    A Happy Post(mortem)?
    For a change I want to write a happy post. I was trying to figure out how? Its hard nowadays for people like us to be happy. We aren’t happy about anything – right from our 9-5 jobs, trains, people, sound, crackers, no smoking, saawariyan etc. And so I start my post on a happier note. :-) :-) :-) Hmmm. So am I actually happy? I had written a long post/rant on how people...

    A Film in a film?
    Off late, I’ve been party to a short film shoot and a mute spectator to a lot of other shorts around me. It’s refreshing to see so many new ideas and concepts – ranging from worst to interesting. The whole concept of ‘short films’ is still primitive in this part of the globe. There are numerous ‘aspirants’ – the so-called intellectual ‘film makers’...

    A ‘post’ to survive
    Disclaimer: Purely un-intentional. So its that time of the month, when we all come out of our cocoons and have to write that one article which keeps us alive on PFC. Of late, I was trying to figure out, what am I going to write about? Maybe I could just get away by writing a review of a film – give my “expert opinion” on how the film was or try and dig my closet...

    Post-IFFLA/Award Hangover
    At IFFLA, I met a lot of people – from film makers to IT professionals to students to nobodies. But of all the people that I found, the organizers were the ones with the biggest heart. No I am not saying it because my film was selected or whether it won, it’s a fact. Its interesting to note that almost all, present in the committee, were from a ‘non-filmy’ background....

    The Quentin Conversation
    So I’ve finally landed onto the PFC platform and all thanks to Oz and Vijay. Being my very first post, I would have loved to introduce myself as a ‘learning film-maker’ and go on about my tryst with film-making and film-makers, but all that can wait. Because right now I am nothing but just an avid cinema-goer just like all of us. Why is that you ask? Well that’s...
