I am writing this letter amidst extreme hope that it will succeed in invoking a sense of interest in the reader about a research that I am involved in and their feedback would reciprocate the same. I am a senior lecturer of journalism and mass communication at IMS Dehradoon. I am trying to produce a research paper on comparative study of HD camcorders (low end professional e.g. Sony EX3) viz-a-viz video DSLRs (e.g. Cannon 5D MK 2) for the prestigious international journal of mass communication- PRAGYAN (ISSN No. 0974-5521).
Since you have pioneered this field and have substantial experience in using either or both the above mentioned gadgets, I humbly request you to take the following questioner to facilitate analysis of imperative data so that the inferences based upon the same can be drawn.
Please feel free and encouraged to give your suggestions. For information on IMS and PRAGYAN you can log on to www.ims.edu.in

Director : Erik Skjoldbjaerg ‘Enemy of the people’ is the story of Tomas Stockmann (Jorgan Langhelle), a nutritionist, who runs a popular TV reality show, ‘Town Community, and this in turn becomes a moral police for companies. The only problem is that it gets our host in trouble. While his program is really popular it has rubbed off his big bosses the wrong way by taking on one of their biggest advertisers who, tainted by the disclosures on the show, pulls out of the channel. Now the channel wants to continue with his program but with an advance clearance on the company he is going to feature. Rather than sell his soul Tomas Stockman decides to walk out on the channel and go back to his hometown to start a plant to bottle the world’s purest mineral water.

If you have an idea, you have a responsibility towards it – Raaghav Dhar
Like many cinema buff FTIIians, I was eagerly waiting for the release of ‘My Friend Pinto’. I managed to see the film in the 2nd week of its release but before that had already got varied reactions from friends who had already seen it. Now it’s unfortunate but true that listening to other people’s reaction we invariably form a certain opinion in our head even before watching the film. I saw the film with many such opinions in my head but by the end of it, quite liked it.
The film has generated extreme reactions. Some have been positive and very encouraging while others have been bitterly negative.

What a wonderful opening credit. Rabbits. ‘Everyone Says I Love You’ has to be one of the weirdest musicals if one can call it that. I choose to. Well… for one, you have the entire cast singing their own lines. Set in New York, Venice and Paris it follows the story of couples in various stages of their relationships : married-and-divorced, divorced-remarried, divorced-and-friends-with-ex-wife-and-her-new-husband, just-into-a-new –relationship-this-evening, first-relationship, marrier-but-on-the lookout, multiple-relationships. You name it. Bob (Alan Alda) and Steffi (Goldie Hawn) are married for many years and have three daughters,4 Lane (Gaby Hoffman), Laura (Natalie Portman), Skylar (Drew Barrymore) and a son, Scott (Lukas Haas). Holden (Edward Norton) and Skylar are in love with each other until in comes a friend of Steffi, Charles Ferry (a hilarious Tim Roth) a convict who breaks their relationship. A common friend of Bob and Steffi, Steffi’s ex-husband, Joe (Woody Allen) is lonely again after one more of his affair fails. Here is why: Read the rest of this entry »

‘The Spainish conquered the New World for Gold. 500 years later, Water is gold. Not much else has changed.’
A crew is filming Columbus’ first voyage to the New World. Christianity is being imposed and the local Indians are being subjugated and stripped of their natural wealth, gold. The Director, Sebastien (Gael Garcia Bernal), wants to focus on the priests, Bartolome de las Casas (Carlos Santos) and Antonio de Montesinos (Raul Arevalo), who protest the treatment of Indians. In real life the Cochabambas (Quechua-speaking natives of Bolivia who belong to the Andes mountain range. Qucha = lake, pampa = open plain.) are fighting their own war for a different natural resource, water. Set five hundred years apart the situation is not much different.
‘The Road to San Giovanni’ is a collection of autobiographical pieces, and has five pieces, each one brilliant. My favourite of the lot is ‘A Cinema-goer’s Autobiography’. Sample this, ‘What used to be called the Hollywood firmament formed a system entire unto itself, with its own contrasts and its own variables, a human typology.

‘This is the story of a country that no longer exists, except in movies’.
With a beginning like that ‘Cinema Komunisto’, a fantastic retelling of the story of a country, Yugoslavia, keeps you glued right through the 101 minutes. This film is a lesson in documentary film-making. Josip Tito aka General Tito started a whole film industry with the sole purpose of writing the history of Yugoslavia, through propaganda films. The Director takes us through whatever remains of the theatres and the studios. The interviews with the chief projectionist of Tito for 32 years, Alexander Leka Konstantinovic, and their biggest star, Velimir Bata Zivojinovic (Yugoslavia’s John Wayne) who has acted in over 300 films and many others like Alfred Hitchcock, Orson welles, Yul Brynner and footage of stars like Sophia Loren make the film memorable and a collector’s item. The seamless editing from footage to interviews to old documents and photographs is so brilliant, one doesn’t notice the duration of the film.
