Cinemas Project in MARG

The Cinemas Project was featured in the March edition of Marg magazine, the theme of which is Indian Cinema. Many, many thanks to Erika Balsom, who has written the perfect text given the constraints of space in such a format.

See if you get a chance to purchase the issue, which is titled "Being Here, Now: Insights into Indian Cinema." Shanay Jhaveri, whose new book "Outsider Films on India 1950-1990" has just been published, has done a wonderful job of guest editing this issue. Some of the other artists/practitioners/researchers/writers featured in the magazine are Ashim Ahluwalia, Shirely Abraham, Moinak Biswas, Kaushik Bhaumik, Raqs Media Collective, Rachel Dwyer, Shumona Goel and Dale Cannedy Azim, Amar Kanwar, Amit Madheshiya, Benjamin Mercer and Kaunteya Shah.  

Imaginal Disc: Science & Film

Don't miss what Alexis Gambis is doing over at Imaginal Disc: Science and Film Productions... From the website:

"Imaginal Disc Productions is a film and video production company which specializes in the making of films around, with and about science/scientists. The objective is to break the stereotypes of the “scientists”, initiate scientists to the process of science film-making and show the creative aspect of woman and men scientists at the bench."

Check out his little 16mm gem Dr. Funque and His Petri Dish. Wonderful "small form" cinema that Jonas Mekas celebrated in his Anti-100 Years of Cinema Manifesto.

Inspiring.
