About the films
-----------------
Susant Mishra's Indradhanura Chhai (Shadows of the Rainbow ) shows how urbanization and the consequent rise of modern consumerism have affected the traditional social and family structures in Bhubaneswar. Against the backdrop of this changing cityscape, Indradhanura Chhai explores the multidimensional conflicts of its characters, their changing perceptions about human nature and personal relationships. With hypnotic visual rhythms, Susant Mishra shows the lives of three women living in the modernizing town of Bhubaneswar, its skyline dominated by magnificent temple architecture.

In Aw Aakare Aa (A, B, She), Subas Das has tried to express the pain and agony of children entrapped inside the four walls of our present education system. The film is the story of a school teacher and her attempts to reform the system in vain. Refusing to compromise, she finally resigns and starts her own school to translate her ideas into reality.

About Bakul Foundation
--------------------
Bakul Foundation is a movement to pool together the small individual efforts of all the people interested in the social development of Orissa.
As the first major initiative, we have started a movement to get a thousand of us (to begin with) to contribute in small ways to set up excellent children's libraries and creative learning centres in Bhubaneswar by April 1, 2007.

Just called them up and got confirmed about the program. Dont worry about the shortage of seats. They need our participation in large numbers and believe that no such problems will arise. You are assured of a seat for the festival. Just come in large numbers.

Information obtained from Mrutyunjay, one of the organisers, over the phone number provided.

Clarification from bakul Foundation on Oriya Film Festival.

Sujit Mahapatra (Bakul Foundation) has provided the detailed information regarding the Bakul Foundation and this Oriya film festival.

The following things have been pointed out:
  • There are no tickets. The screening is free as the foundation want to promote the best of art from Orissa.
  • It is not an initiative of IIMB. It is an initiative of
    bakul (in fact members of Bakul at IIMB). These members of Bakul were
    instrumental in getting the support of IIMB to host the festival.
  • Bakul Foundation is organizing this festival for two reasons. One is that the
    promotion of the arts and culture of Orissa outside the state. Secondly and more importantly, it needs to bring into light the initiative for its library movement in Orissa and seek to mobilize support for it through this festival.
