    Faces of MIAAC – the unfathomable, the uncomfortable and the unassuming – united in brilliance.
    Just back from New York’s Indian Film Festival. My what a mixed bag that was! The films screened at the festival will undoubtedly have much written and reviews of all stripes published in the weeks that follow. For me they are united in forging a path and not following one, expressions of bold creativity rather than conformity. Having missed most screenings due to...

    11th Osian Cinefan Film Festival: Opening Ceremony
    Sometimes life turns out to be rather very kind to you, very soon, and you’re fortunate to get what you’ve always wanted and wished. Cinema is a passion that I’ve unknowingly been living with for the past sixteen years, only to realise that I’m most comfortable with the cinematic expression, and the artistic form of cinema. I was never exposed to world cinema or...

    DAMfest09 – Dibakar, Oye Lucky! Digital
    Global warming has taken its toll even on our beloved film industry. With alarmingly declining green cover and rapidly multiplying population, dancing around the trees and fluttering translucent coloured dupattas in fertile fields is no longer an option for filmmakers. So what do they do? Tough to answer. After all, this is the phase in which Hindi cinema had been stagnating...

    Palm Springs 2009 : Last day and best of the fest
    Four Days. Fourteen films. And I didn’t even get a chance to watch most of the films which the festival selected in its Best of the Fest Category. Tried my best to barge into Departures (from Japan), never could make it into any of its shows. All packed and full. The movie won the Audience Choice award. Ended the last day by watching the following movies Waltz with...

    Palm Springs 2009 : A day of the best
    Love and Other Crimes My personal favorite of all films watched so far. The film is based on one single day. A winter. A grim mood. And in all this director Stefan Arsenijevic serves us one of the best stories. Love and other Crimes is basically a love story. A very unusual love story. With many other sub plots sprinkled all around. Arsenijevic’s unique story telling...

    Palm Springs 2009 : The amazing stories around the world!
    It beats me. The Hindi Movie Industry give us hardly a handful of movies with lovely stories that you carry with you for years. Over a billion population. Cash rich. Making more movies than entire continents. And when I sit at the end of the year, to recap the movies I loved, I can count them on my fingers… of one hand. And there are people around the world telling...

    Palm Springs 2009 : Damn this gets better!
    The goal was to watch 4 movies back to back jumping between the theaters the festival is spread out in. The first five and half hours were spent watching two movies, so intense and gripping, that I needed a break. Still reeling from A Police Romance (imdb), I went back in fifteen minutes later with a pizza and coke to watch, what I understood was a German movie in the...

    Palm Springs Film Fest 2009 : oz arrives
    Nine years ago, it was the blistering heat that almost peeled our skins off, the shoulder that dislocated while playing pool volleyball and being carted away in an ambulance to the nearest hospital. It wasn’t good. I swore I wouldn’t return to this town. A town that is built is some freaking desert. No one, nothing, barren 100 miles east west north south. And...
