Updates: Kolkata Book Fair, 2012

Just like the previous year, there was a ban on selling DVDs in the Little Magazine Pavilion this year too. Most of the magazines could not put the 3rd Compilation on their table for displaying. The Situation was tough. But as we've overcome the primary and the most important constraint i.e the financial one, these restrictions mean nothing to us. We have successfully distributed 62 copies altogether in this Book Fair. Thanks to the magazines that stood by us. We will need them again in future.

44 + 62 makes it 106. The production cost is almost recovered.

We are now looking forward to make our DVDs available in different towns of West Bengal. So, if you know someone from a local store, someone who can help, please inform us. We won't mind selling our DVDs from a restaurant or a grocery-store but from our point of view book-stores are preferred. Thank you

A Big THANK YOU

Replica (2012)

Sriparna Dey has started shooting her forthcoming film Replica (2012). The story revolves around a teenage photographer who stays with his father. The boy (played by Twish Mukherjee) is haunted by a painting he has never seen in his real life. He is not even sure whether it's a painting or not but the image keeps on appearing repeatedly like a vision. He feels that someone is trying to communicate with some message that he must receive. While searching the root of this uncommon phenomenon the untold history of his root gets unfolded to the teenager.

Mr. Director (2012) - Snigdhendu Bhattacharya

Campaign started for Snigdhendu's forthcoming film Mr. Director (2012). The film would be released in the 3rd compilation of LFEBF.

Updates: Annual Meet, 2011

Lenin is jailed!

The spot where we used to meet every year is now ironically fenced with iron bars. It’s locked and no one can get in. It was a popular hang-out for many others. People who missed their buses, drunkards seeking solitude, lovers without enough money to rent a room, prostitutes looking for customers --- everyone waited here.

And now it’s locked! Not a restricted but a no-entry zone! These things happen in Kolkata, in the great silence of the city.

This year we had to find a place in front of the Ochterlony Monument (Shaheed Minar). Arupratan Ghosh, Anamitra Roy, Sriparna Dey, Snigdhendu Bhattacharya, Maitreyo Bhattacharya, Deborshi Banerjee, Debjit Bagchi, Anirban Paul & Chiranjit Dey Sharma attended the talk. Abhishek Bhattacharya, Twish Mukherjee, Sayak Shome & Ayan Datta could not come due to inevitable circumstances.

Amongst many other things we decided to explore newer forms like unconventional music video this year. We decided to arrange screenings in Kolkata and suburbs before opting out for other states and cities. Moreover, we planned to release the next compilation in December so that we can reach out to more and more venues like literary fairs held at small towns during the month. So the last date of film submission for the forthcoming project is 15th November, 2011.

Arupratan Ghosh has announced his next short film Shilpanchal aka The Industrial Zone. It would be completed by September.

Anamitra Roy is making Smriti...Mrito Janopaud aka Memories of a Dead Township (to be completed in August)

Abhishek Bhattacharya would come up with Portrait of an Actor  within proper date and time.

Sriparna Dey, Snigdhendu Bhattacharya and  Deborshi Banerjee also placed their thoughts to come up with new films for the project while others are still uncertain.

Talks and thought sharing would be there throughout the whole year.

So long!
