Oliver Twist:Handouts

The front cover of the handout.Again by Anish Dasgupta,who by now is building up a hefty jury portfolio in foundation.

Something new!Bookmarks for 'The Pianist'.

I decided to go about the screening of The Pianist,by Roman Polanski,in a big way.Filmclub actually got a lot of email requests(in one case,a PD chap one exchange voiced his enthusiasm over the selection.) and hence a lot of publicity biz was done.
Anish Dasgupta(foundation) wanted to try making bookmarks rather than handouts,an installation was also set up outside the Audi.
Glad it all worked out.:)

Afterthought on notebooks

(Handout by Pragya Mishra,7th semester Graphic Design)
Tuesdays screening was 'Notebook on cities and clothes'.
Wim Wenders and Yohji Yamamoto chat about cities and clothes,with Yamamotos unimitatable,refreshingly blasphemous takes on his city(Tokyo),the conflict of identity and affirmations that 'Im a dressmaker,not a fashion designer'.

A documentary,or perhaps going beyond the definition of one?

True this may be,despite that thou might disagree!

Once in a while,people take the initiative to holler back a response after yet another cycle of screenings.As the semester comes to a close,Manish Desai from TAD,3rd semester PG sent in an email on tuesdays' film:
" A designer could connect very well to it. It also examined the nature of documentary and somehow it was about inner conversations between two people brought out in movie."

More words like this,if not a review or 'critical cinematographic analysis' will cause the FIN blog to do a hearty (yet dignified,mind) jig on the NID server.
