MESSAGE 1 : Climate Change Challenges: Special Preview of five films
produced under the UK Environment Film Fellowships 2010
To mark the occasion of the World Environment Day, we are organising a
special preview of five films on Climate Change. The films focus on
mitigating climate change with a special focus on Water & Energy – the
two significant indicators of climate change. Directed by the winners
of UK Environment Film Fellowships 2010, the films will also be
screened on National Geographic Channel on June 5 at 10 pm.
About the Films:
Wheeling in Change
Filmmaker –Nina Subramani
Synopsis: The film focuses on the small changes being brought about by
the residents of Bangalore to mitigate emissions with a special focus
on lifestyle changes. The film aims at motivating viewers on being the
change themselves.
Notes from a Green City
Filmmaker – Madhyama Subramanian
Synopsis: The film looks at how the city of Surat is taking various
measures to mitigate climate change and how these successful changes
made by the Surat Municipal Corporation can be used a model for other
cities to reduce their emissions.
Blocks of Green
Filmmakers – Bishnu Dev Halder & Jitendra Adappa
Synopsis: The film explores how simple steps can make existing
buildings more green. It looks at a few case studies of old buildings
that have gone green in Mumbai and have reduced their carbon emissions
and how new and upcoming buildings in Kolkata are constructed with a
green agenda. The film looks at the obstacles, costs and benefits and
also meets the suppliers of green technologies.
Melting Paradise
Filmmakers- Vijay Bedi & Ajay Bedi
Synopsis: The film focuses on the glaciers & wetlands of J&K. The film
focuses on the valley's only fresh water sources, the Kolahoi glacier,
and further downstream on the wetlands and conveys why the conservation
of water resources are an important mitigation strategy against climate
change
The Miracle Water Village
Filmmakers: Rintu Thomas & Sushmit Ghosh
Synopsis: The film focuses lauds the efforts of the villagers of Hiware
Bazar for recharging their village’s groundwater reserves. The village
received the National Water Award and is also being studied by the
World Water Forum. The films explore the techniques employed explaining
how these methods can be replicated by other regions facing water
shortages.
About the Fellowships:
The UK Environment Film Fellowships were introduced in 2005 to enable
Indian filmmakers to make documentaries on the impacts of climate
change in India. Every year Indian environmental filmmakers are awarded
the fellowships, to create 12-15 minute impactful documentaries. Till
date, 19 filmmakers have been awarded these fellowships.
Every year, a theme is decided and filmmakers are encouraged to submit
proposals for films which depict originality in research work in terms
of topical relevance to the theme.
Filmmakers identify and team-up with subject experts/ professionals/
institutions and work closely with them during the making of the film
to ensure a well-researched and high quality film.

MESSAGE 3 : Mahesh Dattani's Final Solutions at IHC directed by Arvind
Gaur
Asmita Summer Theatre Festival 2010
Mahesh Dattani's Final Solutions on 5th & 6th June,7.30 pm at India
Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, Starring -Susan Brar, Viren Basoya, Bajrang
Bali Singh, Shilpi Marwaha,Vrinda Vedi, Pooja Pradaan, Disha Arora
,music by Dr.Sangeeta Gaur,translation by Shahid Anwar ,Directed by
Arvind Gaur
Director's note -'Final Solutions' touches us, and the bitter realities
of our lives so closely that it becomes a difficult play to handle for
the Indian Director.The past begins top determine the outlook of the
present and thus the earlier contradictions re-emerge.No concrete
solutions are provided in the play to the problem of communalism but it
raises questions on secularism and pseudo secularism. It forces us to
look at ourselves in relation to the attitudes that persist in the
society.
Since it is an experiment in time and space and relates to memory, it
is a play, which involves a lot of introspection on the part of the
characters in the play and thus induces similar introspection in the
viewers. I have attempted to experiment with the chorus.It has been
used in a style, which I would like to call 'realistic stylisation'.The
chorus represents the conflicts of the characters.Thus the chorus is a
sense is the psycho-physical representation of the characters and also
provides the audience with the visual images of the characters'
conflicts. There is no stereotyped use of the characterisation of the
chorus because communalism has no face,it is an attitude and thus it
becomes an image of the characters.
The sets and properties used in the play are simple. This has been done
to accentuate the internal conflicts and the subtext of the play.
Theatre for 'Asmita' and me is
a method of reflection, understanding and debating the contemporary
socio-political issues through the process of the play. We hope the
play will also have a lasting impact on the audience.
_______________________________________
CRITICS SAY
With the screaming, stomping, sinister mob in the
background of this high charged interplay, we have a
dramatically explosive play on boards.Arvind Gaur pitched and kept the
action at a level on high tension.
- Kavita Nagpal (Hindustan Times)
A show not to be missed.What a beautiful play beautifully translated
and beautifully directed.The play holds a mirror to the society we live
in.
- Romesh Chander (Hindu)
Something to reflect upon… Asmita production is simple and intense.The
play is powerful, the production is intense, the subject difficult,the
response good, something you can take home and think about
- Smita Narula (Pioneer)
Mahesh Dattani's 'Final Solutions' is that rare look at a
socio-political problem that defies all final solutions.Arvind Gaur's
competent direction.intense,topical and artistically mounted,Asmita's
'Final Solutions' brought back memories of Habib Tanvir's rendition of
'Jis Lahore nahi Dekhya' and Saeed Mirza's 'Naseem.
- Nikhat Kazmi (Times of India)
On a more contemporary note, Mahesh Dattani's FINAL SOLUTIONS directed
by Arvind Gaur easily stood out as one of the few truly satisfying
experiences of this eleven day treat (9th national theatre
festival,Nehru Centre(Mumbai) for the senses. As the dramatic tension
(neatly orchestrated by a chorus) rises in the play,the subterranean
psyche of each character is laid bare. Abuses are hurled, raw passions
are evoked, attempts at reconciliation are made and prejudices and
fears are acknowledged The beauty of the script indeed lies in its
ability to relentlessly and sensitively question. Its urgent need to
use 'dialogue' as a remedy for a socially pressing issue such as
communalism, is the play's underlying theme.
Arvind Gaur's direction is commendable. While the front of the stage is
peopled by the principal characters who are psychologically exorcizing
themselves, the back part of the stage has a chorus whose role is as
symbolic as it is instrumental in furthering the action in the play
when required.
