[Reader-list] [Announcements] The Monsoon Festival: Call for films

The Monsoon Festival

 

CALL FOR SUBMISSION OF FILMS

 

Red Earth is organising The Monsoon Festival at Alliance Francaise 
de Delhi, New Delhi, India from 28 July - 3 August 2006.

 

The Monsoon Festival is an exploration of the diverse awakenings and 
experiences of the monsoon. An omnipotent creative catalyst, monsoon is 
the source of  multi-hued awakenings -- from the delightful expressions 
of love (in celebration or bereavement) to the experience of change as 
symbolised by change in nature to inspiring awe and terror with its 
occassional ferocious grandeur. The Monsoon is not just the rain, but a 
season, one that offers a range of other complex sensual, visual and 
aesthetic experiences which the festival hopes to foreground.

 

Among other events such as an art exhibition on the theme of monsoon, a 
concert of Hindustani classical music, we are also organising screenings 
of films centred around the monsoon. We already have a body of films for 
the festival, but are also interested in including more films on the 
theme of monsoon. Monsoon/ rain can be the narrative, sub-text or a 
motif in the film. We're interested in exploring the meaning of monsoon 
in different cultures and films that do so will be looked forward to.

 

Films may be feature films, documentaries, videos or any other genre.

 

If you have a film that fits in with the theme of the festival, and 
would like to submit it for consideration, please send 2 copies of the 
film, on DVD format, latest by 25th June 2006. The earlier, the better!

 

Please make sure to include a letter addressed to The Director, Red 
Earth, stating that you are the rightful copyright owner of the film, 
and that if selected, it may be screened at the Monsoon Festival for an 
invited audience, or a statement from the copyright owner to the same 
effect. The films may be supported by additional material like synopsis, 
credits, reviews etc.

 

Copies of the films will not be returned. If desired, you may provide us 
details of the films for feedback, before actually sending in copies of 
the films. All communication may be addressed to 
himanshu at redearthindia.com <mailto:himanshu at redearthindia.com>
