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

Updates: Little Magazine Fair, Kolkata, 2012

The Little Magazine Fair takes place every year in the premises of Rabindra Sadan, Kolkata during the month of January. As we had previously announced on this blog, the 3rd Compilation was released on the eve of 12th January, 2012, the 2nd day of the said fair, and was received with duly warmth. As of  now the circulation figure stands at the total 44 on an average of 11 copies a day.

From the stats stated above the fishes can smell that the Kolkata Book Fair (25th Jan. - 5th Feb. 2012) this year is going to be big for them. Now the question is, "Are You Enough Fish Yet!?"

Book Fair Updates on January 29th aka GUILD-CHANDALI

Friends,

from yesterday we are unable to distribute our copies openly in the Book Fair due to hindrances from the guild. The problem started on the 27th. During the evening some guild officials came to table no. 157 aka Guruchandali. They tried to gather information about the films and the forum etc and instructed not to sale DVDs in the little magazine pavilion. They said that the pavilion is strictly meant for little magazines only and DVDs or such things should be sold from the IT pavilion. Yesterday they came again and threatened that they would be bound to throw Guruchandali out of the corner if the magazine does not stop selling DVDs. "It was there in the conditions. Haven't you read them?"they added.

So, from today, we suppose, we won't be able to distribute our copies in the open. If you come looking for one please contact one of these numbers to collect your copy.

Anamitra: 9883103809 / 9143251670

Sriparna: 9883504512

Arupratan: 9432860086

Snigdhendu: 9330948167

Debarghya: 9007336434

If the conditions don't change our copies won't be available after the 1st day of February.

We believe we produce an annual little magazine of films every year. That's what we take our no-budget films for. They can't stop our distribution this way!
