    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...

    IFFLA ’09 : 7 days in slow motion
    iView Author: Nick (Phoenix, USA) Email: withheld IFFLA ’09 : 7 days in slow motion ‘You must have had a pretty dreadful childhood to be so screwed up.’ A pretty clichéd line, you might have heard people narrate hundreds of times, in movies, in social circles, most of the times as a joke. It’s beyond doubt that early years are a big foundation to an individual’s...

    IFFLA ‘09 : The Fakir of Venice and Kanchivaram
    The Fakir of Venice If you are one of those who think Farhan Akhtar was good in Rock On! or Luck By Chance, you are so wrong baby. Cause The Fakir of Venice is Farhan’s best work to date. Directed by Anand Surapur of Phat-Phish (he’s also the producer of Quick Gun Murugan), the story begins with etching out Akhtar’s character, a “ho-jayega”...

    Again a New Beginning……
    A very good beginning… I am an amatuer blogger. This is the beginning of a new chapter for me. One is always trying out new things in life and this is something that I am trying out for the first time. I am not a regular blogger. I just have enough patience with my emails and looking up information that I want to read on the internet. Yes of course I try to keep...

    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...

    MUMBAI CUTTING – IFFLA Exclusive
    Mumbai Cutting A city that tells thousands of stories each day, a city that weaves the magic for a million people everyday and a city that creates as much as it destroys each day – it was logical that something would pay tribute to its various layers and shades in typical Bollywood fashion but with a hint of betrayal – replace the glitz and the pseudonyms with gleams...

    IFFLA through beer goggles
    The last few weeks have been trying. I have suffered some personal tragedies that make the Burmese look like a bunch of sissypant whiners. On my way back to New York from IFFLA, I spent an entire day at the airport because there were 2 clouds over Timbaktoo. I finally arrrived at my apartment, only to lose my tranny shades (Chinatown – 5$) in the cab. I had two hours...

    IFFLA 2008 – The Talented Mr Richie
    It would be apt to say that IFFLA is probably the most reputed Indian Film Festival outside of India. Its growing at a phenomenal rate. I remember when I had moved to LA around 3 years back & I met this Indian Guy Gautam Mishra in my Cinema class. He suggested that I should volunteer at IFFLA as I was new to the city/country, it would be a great opportunity to...

    IFFLA 2008 : 48 Hours to Fireworks
    “I need 29 bags I need 29 bags” There are six of us stuffing gift bags with various goodies for guests in the courtyard. Inside another twenty odd volunteers are busy getting gift bags ready for a different set of guests. The phone rings… “Hi oz, this is Bipin…. Bipin Nadkarni” My back hurts, my sinus headaches acting up in the chill...
