Acclaimed Indian actor, and past Busan visitor, Adil Hussain will headline “Riding on the Moon Boat,” one of the projects being introduced at the Busan International Film Festival’s Asian Project Market. It is to be directed by first-time feature director Triparna Banerjee.
Set in rural India, the film will follow an adolescent girl who struggles to survive through drought, hardship and discrimination as her father is shunned by the majority of the village for engaging in a blasphemous act. It is an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic story “Mahesh” (Drought).
“One of the first reasons probably I decided to attach myself to this project is that I am very closely associated with this story – as I grew up in Assam, my father was a big fan of Sarat Chandra, and he read out the story to me long back,” Hussain told Variety. The actor says that the...

When it comes to the coverage of the 66th Cannes Film Festival starting today, mainstream media outlets’ obsession with celebrities seems to be getting the better of them. Playboy Girl Sherlyn Chopra and Ameesha Patel and the likes are being written about with equal enthusiasm (quite often even higher) than the films and people who will actually represent India at Cannes 2013.
Cannes coverage of the Indian press is as ill-informed and misleading as it’s bizarre. Quite often the most talked about titles are those which don’t even feature in the selection while some have market screenings. It’s obvious that the festival coverage by the Indian mainstream media is driven by ignorance and publicists.
Here are some Cannes headlines from mainstream media:-

“Monsoon Shootout” by Amit Kumar will have a midnight screening at Cannes 2013
There was a time in Indian cinema, the era of the masters like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy and Mrinal Sen, when it was not unusual to have several Indian films in competition at the Cannes film festival. Take for instance the year 1956 when Ray’s Pather Panchali and Shantaram Athavale’s Shevgyachya Shenga competed in the feature film category. Or the year 1954 when Bimal Roy’s Do Beegha Zameen and Kishore Sahu’s Mayurpankh were in competition along with two short films by Mohan Dayaram Bhavnani. [Read India’s tryst with Cannes]
The last Indian film that got selected in competition was Shaji Karun’s Swaham way back in 1994. Since then, we haven’t managed to catch the fancy of Cannes selectors [Read Why Indian films don't make it to Cannes]. However, this year seems to be a little different.

The Untold Tale, a project by Shivajee Chandrabhushan and Triparna Banerjee has gained the distinction of being the first Indian project to make it to Cinefondation’s L’Atelier at Cannes Film Festival 2012. The film to be directed by Shivajee Chandrabhushan and written by Triparna Banerjee is about a young puppeteer’s journey to India that unravels her true identity. The story begins in Spain, travels through France and culminates in Rajasthan. Shivajee and Triparna reveal more about their project:
The film is set in Spain, France and India. How did the idea originate?
Shivajee: It originated from a simple idea of “going back to the roots” concept. During the festival rounds of Frozen, I got a chance to visit Spain. There I discovered the connection of Gypsies to North India. Whether it is spices, clothes, colors, music, dance and language, there is a connection between these communities and India.

DearCinema brings to you a few voices that define the Indie scene in India today, ruminating over what independent cinema means to them. Straight from the horse’s mouth. Following Q, Shonali Bose and Onir, in the fourth in the series, Shivajee Chandrabhushan who made the critically acclaimed film ‘Frozen’ and is now working on his next independent project ‘One More’ sums up his views on independent cinema:
Lots of people in my short span of film life have described me as an ‘Independent filmmaker’. As much I welcomed the thought, I had no idea what it meant initially. Isn’t every filmmaker independent? I knew the theory of course but learnt later that, they are not. I would like to now digress for a moment and explain what independent cinema is. I could be totally off the track but then this is what I think.

DearCinema reported on Thursday that director of the National Award winning film Frozen, Shivajee Chandrabhushan had turned to crowd funding on indiegogo.com for his next project “One More”. The filmmaker himself on why he went the crowd funding way:
Still from One More
Why Crowd funding? Well that is a not a difficult question to answer. Now, this is the easy one: that we tried getting funds from regular sources but failed and thought of generating funds through this medium.
The second answer is interesting: that by this way we are also able to generate interest about a film which is unfinished. So even if people don’t contribute much, it will be a way of making people aware about your film. This would also help while pitching it to the prospective producers and financiers and anyone who is willing to listen to you. You can show them that...

Frozen Enlighten, Rs 399 Rating: * * * * Director-producer Shivajee Chandrabhushan and cinematographer-scriptwriter Shanker Raman have managed to tell a rare tale in a never-before language. The duo has done it through three storytelling choices. First, it's told in a coruscating black-and-white. Second, the camera tracks motions and focal points with an unusual seamlessness. And third, the story's pace matches the slowness of actions in the high-altitude desert that's Ladakh. The lives of the debt-ridden jam-maker Karma (a dazzling Danny Denzongpa), his teenage daughter Lasya (a moody Gauri Kulkarni), and silent son Chomo (an expressive Skalzang Gultuk) are disrupted when the army ...

Priyadarshan, who's shooting in distant Karaikudi, cannot believe his Tamil film Kanchivaram has won the National Award for best film. "Can you believe, in my career of 25 years as film director, this is the first time my film won an award. And that I've won it for Kanchivaram is a very special event for me. This film is very close to my heart," says the director emotionally, even as he prepares for the release of his next masala film De Dana Dan. "Now when the critics see De Dana Dan, they'll say Priyan is back to his old tricks," chuckles the prolific director. "But I am proud of my masala films as well. It's very important for a film to get an audience. And my comedies are big successes. I can't fight success. I will continue to make the massy comedies," says the director whose films have often been accused...

Gauri who makes her debut with Frozen, a black and white film by Shivajee Chandrabhushan, sure seems to have developed cold feet. We mean quite literally.
The entire crew, while shooting for the film in Ladakh, in the harsh bitter winter faced really extreme conditions at the base of Rhizong. It had snowed the day before and the ice was slippery… and due to a scene, Gauri was made to stand in the snow at one place for almost 3-4 hours.
Needless to say, Gauri was close to tears after the scene, as the -25 degree temperature had seeped into her body and her shoes and socks had become wet.
But.
