SECOND GORAKHPUR FILM FESTYIVAL
IN MEMORY OF 1857
March 30 to April 2, 2007,
Samvad Bhavan, Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur
Dear Friend,
Last year for the very first time in the history of Gorakhpur we made an
attempt to organise a festival of films from peoples' contribution. And some
how we reached some where. We showed almost 20 films including short films,
animation, documentaries and full length feature films. After screening of
Anand Patwardhan's film "War and Peace" we conducted a discussion session
anchored by a panel of 4 people. More than 100 people participated in the
discussion which lasted for 45 minutes. Around 1500 people enjoyed the
screenings in the festival. At least 50-75 people from surrounding small
towns participated in the festival. Last year we dedicated our festival to
the theme of Resistance in Cinema and clubbed it with 75 martyrdom of Bhagat
Singh. Jan Sanskriti Manch, Expression- Gorakhpur Film Society, Peoples'
Forum and PUHR (Peoples Union for Human Rights) were the main organizers of
the festival. It was solely financed by individual contributions. We also
released a festival brochure which I'm sending to you through courier.
Friend, This year we are dedicating our festival to the revolutionary memory
of 1857.
This year we are inviting documentary filmmakers from various regions. Anand
Patwardhan, Meghnath, Ajay Bhardwaj, Sanjay Kak, Surubhi Sharma, Rajula Shah
to name a few. We are also planning to have special focus on cinema of Iran,
in this regard we opening festival with Behman Ghobadi's Turtules Can Fly
and screening trilogy of Majid Majidi. Apart from films we are also planning
to organize film seminar, theatre seminar, poetry recitation session, an
exhibition on revolutionary history of 1857, book exhibition, theatrical and
song performances by Yugmanch, Nainital and Hiraval, Patna.
Jan Sanskriti Manch has decided to develop this as a central film festival
and then make it a traveling festival for the rest of the year.
The festival dates are March 30 to April 2, 2007. Venue is Samvad Bhawan,
Gorakhpur University Campus, Gorakhpur.
Gorakhpur is very well connected to the network of Indian Railways. There
are few flights from New Delhi and Mumbai. Other important cities close to
Gorakhpur are Lucknow (6hr taxi drive) and Varanasi ( 5 hr taxi drive).
Kindly forward this mail to film buffs and mail me your postal address.
Please intimate me how many invitation cards you require for the
distribution.
With warm regards,
