sri lankan film - maker vimukthi jayasundara has reacted to the ' cosmic sex ' screening row at nandan . the director , who had a trouble when he made ' chatrak ' with the moral police in bengal , is seeing a re - run of his own experiences now .

controversy . says debarati ,

vimukthi jayasundara’s chatrak ( 2011 ) , screened at the director’s forum fortnight at cannes and at tiff alongside the pacific meridian festival in vladivostok , russia , was never released in india probably because it has too graphical detailed scenes of intimate sex which would never have passed the scissors’ test by the cbfc .

on being told that nandan has had such guidelines since the art centre caters to a certain kind of aesthetics , he said , ' i don ' t know what tastes we are talking about . the moral police came down on my ' chatrak ' too . they are doing the same now . it only shows that bengal has learnt nothing .

no stranger to cannes or international acclaim , in 2005 jayasundara’s debut feature sulanga enu pinisa ( the forsaken land ) was awarded the camera d’or award for best first film and his second feature ahasin wetei ( between two worlds ) was officially selected for the competition section at the 66th venice international film festival and nominated for the prestigious golden lion . while the verdict on chatrak will be out at cannes next month , the movie releases in indian theatres only in october .
what has intrigued him further is that the film has been allowed a festival screening at nandan but denied commercial release ! ' in case of ' chatrak ' , the film wasn ' t screened at any festival at nandan . here , it was screened at nandan itself . this is just not done . i am utterly disappointed . it ' s shocking to see the moral police of kolkata kill an indie film this way . kolkata is going backwards , ' he concluded .
icelandic actor t ' mas lemarquis , who had played a soldier in ' chatrak ' , is playing a mutant called caliban in the film . in the film , caliban has the ability to track mutants . he can sense other mutants and then track them down . an excited vimukthi said , ' t ' mas is an excellent actor . we had a great time together in kolkata . he had become close friends of bappaditya ( bandopadhyay ) and paoli . i remember , paoli and
and where does sex figure in the new cinematic milieu ? paoli for one has earned a reputation for doing ‘daring’ roles . in vimukti jayasundara’s chatrak , her lovemaking scene created a huge stir . but paoli indicates that the sexual angles are overplayed and that critics should look at her role as ela in elar char adhyay . “ela is perhaps the boldest role i’ve played . she is a true rebel who defies institution . boldness is in the mind , ” says paoli , whose upcoming projects include debarati gupta’s hoi choi and ritabrata bhattacharya’s basanta utsab .
directed by sri lankan filmmaker vimukthi jayasundara , chatrak has been a critical success in the international festival circuit , including at cannes in may where it was screened to packed audiences . dam plays a lower middle - class woman whose husband stays abroad . her character gets involved in a relationship with a younger man , played by anubrata basu . but the film ' s talking point at puja pandals in kolkata is not its cinematic excellence . dam ' s sex scene with her co - star has catapulted her from a soap star into an internet sensation .
sri lankan scribe - helmer vimukthi jayasundara takes his pretty - pictures - meet - inscrutable - narrative approach to eastern india in “chatrak , ” the director’s first foray into bengali - language cinema . viewers familiar with jayasundara’s m . o . will be able to piece together a coherent if extremely slow - burning story that involves an architect looking for his lost sibling , and some vague commentary on the kolkata building boom . but the uninitiated looking for depth beyond the pretty ( rather than mesmerizing ) pictures will probably want to peep behind the screen at the select few fests where this’ll be playing .
chatrak is about rahul ( sudeep mukherjee ) , a bengali architect working at construction sites in dubai . he returns to kolkata after an absence of several years . his girlfriend , paoli ( paoli dam ) , has been waiting for his return . rahul’s seemingly successful life is overshadowed by the search for his brother ( sumeet thakur ) , who is said to be mad and living in the forest , where he sleeps in the trees and subsists on vegetation . a scene of the film with explicit frontal nudity and cunnilingus , featuring paoli dam and anubrata basu , was leaked on the internet in 2011 , causing uproar in india , especially in kolkata .

does the quintessential indian male in him get bothered that people are talking about paoli in a certain way after those scenes were leaked ? does it have any impact on the fact that he might harbour feelings of getting married to her someday ?
i am not talking about marriage at all right now . in fact , that ' s not something either of us is thinking of . sure , i have feelings for paoli . but , as i said , i completely respect an actor ' s decision . when i decide to marry someone and if the person is from the film industry , i will never tell her not to do nude scenes should the film so demand . in case of
chatrak
, i am completely fine with paoli ' s nude act ,
he signs off .
not just his commitment to work , t ' mas had also saved his co - star sumit thakur ' s life while shooting for ' chatrak ' in bolpur . one scene from the movie had required both t ' mas and sumit to go full monty . while swimming nude , sumit had suddenly developed cold shoulder . t ' mas had spontaneously acted as sumit ' s saviour and rescued him ! ' i wish bappaditya was around today . he would have been so happy to hear this news about t ' mas ' casting in such an important film , ' the director said . the unpredictability of life is what makes it exciting and alarming in equal measure . while t ' mas ' journey from bolpur to hollywood wasn ' t anticipated then , neither did anyone have a nightmare that bappaditya too would quit the world of cinema so soon .
but how did he , being a sri lankan actor , end up casting t ' mas for a bengali movie that was shot in 2011 ? ' i was looking for an actor who could understand the art of cinema but also had mainstream experience in acting because he had to pay role of a foreign guard . so i was in touch with so many european and american actors . the casting process was long . bappa from kolkata gave me his opinion about the actor , ' vimukthi said . finally , t ' mas was cast in ' chatrak ' . ' at that time , he wasn ' t doing anything in holywood but had already done lot in european mainstream cinema . he was willing to do anything to come to india and make the film happen . he brought his military costume . his commitment to the film was amazing , ' the director said .
forlorn characters living desolate lives serves as an excuse for a bleak study in nihilism . twitter
sri lanka - born director vimukthi jayasundara ' s film is shot in dirty colors and dim enough lights that would make anyone depressed , in the movie or watching it .
a man with a “crack in his head” lives in a forest , sleeping in trees and foraging for food . he encounters a french soldier — no explanation why a french soldier is guarding some supposed border near calcutta from illegal immigrants — and the two become buddies and frolic .
meanwhile , a calcutta architect returns home after a number of years participating in dubai’s building boom to oversee the construction of a ghastly looking housing project on a former rice field . ( the forlorn buildings , in fact , look more like an old abandoned project the filmmakers used as a set . ) however , the architect is distracted by a long delayed search for a missing brother who is said to have gone crazy . so much so he scarcely has time for the beautiful girlfriend who has loyally awaited his return .
melancholia seemingly afflicts all these characters if not a strain of insanity . jayasundara and cinematographer channa deshapriya also shoot in dirty colors and dim enough lights that would make anyone depressed , in the movie or watching it .
the film’s abstract naturalism does create an austere portrait of a crass and careless human society but any larger meaning gets lost amid the film’s many non - events and preening nihilism .

strange encounters in the jungle , strange quests in the city . a european soldier ( icelandic actor tómas lemarquis ) lost in the jungle , an architect in kolkata involved in a great project , a lost soul who could be his lost brother , a woman , and angry folks expropriated because of the big architectural project—a story to be followed together with jayasundara ' s images . jayasundara creates images . not paintings , not graphics , not publicity : living visions . cinematic dreams and nightmares , visible intuitions of the world around , visual understanding of what corruption of the society and corruption of the soul can do .
jayasundara is a young relentless master , an example of what contemporary cinema can be : an art that ignores the frontiers between the so - called artistic disciplines only to reconcile them in a universal feeling of the current state of the world . remember apichatpong ' s boonmee : ghosts are among us . they ' re called history .

talented young actresses are scorching the screen and stealing the show in urban bengali films . by angona paul , lubna salim and priyadarshini chatterjee
it’s called girl power and it is charming its way to centre - screen in urban bengali cinema . so , moviegoers will soon be taking their seats for the first ever bengali chick flick aami aar amaar girlfriends . the movie directed by mainak bhaumik stars a vivacious trio — swastika mukherjee , raima sen and parno mitra — who play best buddies dealing with boys , age and diet issues .
the three of them will also liven up the screen in his august - end release maach mishti ‘n’ more , a comedy about three brothers and their love interests , says bhaumik .
bhaumik’s not the only one putting big bets on womanpower . cut to last month and four actresses — raima , parno , along with mumtaz sorcar and tanusree chakraborty — turned out powerful performances in subrata sen’s koyekti meyer golpo that’s about a bunch of young girls trapped in the murky world of prostitution . also , last month paoli dam impressed audiences with her portrayal of a 1940s rebel in elar char adhyay .
hey , when did the sultry ladies of bengali cinema upstage the leading men who usually called the shots ? once upon a time the women stood behind men when it came to pushing the plot forward . not any longer it seems .
“in mainstream potboilers the hero is the crowd - puller but urban cinema requires both the male and female leads to be good actors , ” says rana sarkar , producer of bedroom . “and in recent times , our female actors have been outshining their male counterparts , ” he adds .
so , you have ananya chatterjee , raima , swastika , paoli , parno and mumtaz all making their presence felt on the screen . and moviemakers are acknowledging this by ensuring that bigger female roles are being written into the scripts in the latest urban bengali films .
to understand the way scripts have changed , take a look at parno mitra , one of the newer faces who has grabbed the attention of audiences . she made a dream debut in films in 2010 as the rock star ranjana in anjan dutt’s ranjana ami ar ashbona . she returned to the screen as a fashion photographer in bhaumik’s bedroom . and , she’ll be cornering eyeballs once again in the soon - to - be - released ekla akash , where she plays a wife who breaks up with her husband ( parambrata chattopadhyay ) , and becomes an actress .
“women’s roles have evolved . it’s not just about dolling up , ” says parno , who debuted on television in 2007 with soaps like khela , mohona and bou kotha kau .
or look at swastika , who has seen change take place around her , ever since her showbiz debut on tv in the early 2000s . a few years ago , she says , only a handful of leading directors made movies that gave prominent roles to women . says swastika : “earlier , one could expect directors like aparna sen or rituparno ghosh to create meaningful women characters , now more filmmakers are doing it . ”
swastika has cemented her position in the industry and has acted in many of the new genre of movies like kaushik ganguly’s brake fail in 2009 , birsa dasgupta’s 033 in 2010 and buddhadeb dasgupta’s janala in 2011 . more recently , she was one of the stars in the blockbuster bhooter bhabishyat . in the film , she plays the ghost of a 1930s movie heroine and she managed to reproduce to perfection the nasal tones and exaggerated mannerisms , common at that time . says the movie’s director anik dutta : “i asked swastika to practise the tone and instructed her on dialogue delivery . when she came back she’d also worked on the body language , which i’d forgotten to tell her about . ”
other youngsters too are landing plum roles . take a look at mumtaz who made her debut in 2010 with birsa dasgupta’s 033 as ria , a marwari girl who joins an all - male band . soon afterwards , she grabbed the lead role in pranab choudhury’s period film musalmanir galpo , inspired by a tagore story . but her biggest hit so far has been bhooter bhabishyat , in which she plays the ghost of a lovesick youngster , koel . “mumtaz has a very strong look that sets her apart from the quintessential feminine mainstream heroines , ” says director subrata sen . incidentally , mumtaz is a trained boxer and jazz dancer .
the bengali film world moves at high speed spending a month or two on a movie and then moving on to the next piece of celluloid action . and the female screen stars must also be able to make effortless transitions and portray any number of different roles . so , you have raima sen morphing from a tagorean heroine to a free - spirited runaway bride in maach mishti ‘n’ more . and paoli dam moves with alacrity from dissatisfied housewife to a nationalist movement activist in bappaditya bandopadhyay’s elar char adhyay . “paoli’s appeal lies in the fact that she has a timeless beauty and is also very cerebral , ” says bhaumik .
“it’s amazing how these girls keep re - inventing their looks , ” says rai sengupta ganguly of mojo productions , which has produced films like the bong connection , bhooter bhabishyat and maach mishti ‘n’ more .
says rudraneil ghosh , one of paoli’s co - stars : “the urban woman commands equal recognition of her ideas as the man and this is translated in urban cinema . ” “this , ” says bandopadhyay , “can be attributed to the new generation of directors , script writers , and even producers . ”
the new dynamics of urban cinema has also influenced the moolah factor . says one director : “unlike mainstream mass movies , actors and actresses in urban films get paid equally . ” the going rate is rs 2 lakh to rs 8 lakh , for a maximum of 25 days of shooting . and producers agree that the figure has doubled in the last three to four years . “an experienced actress like raima would be in the higher bracket , ” says the director .
raima’s credentials as an actress have been bolstered by her performances in four rituparno ghosh films — chokher bali , antarmahal , khela and noukadubi . her latest hit was srijit mukherji’s baishe srabon last year . “rituparno ghosh really turned my career around by giving me ashalata in chokher bali . i learnt a lot about the craft of acting while working with him , ” says the actress , who’s also done aparna sen’s the japanese wife and buddhadeb dasgupta’s swapner din .
the other actresses also insist that sex is being portrayed in a more natural way in bengali films . “if the script is about a married couple , it’s only natural that they will have intimate moments . no one makes a fuss anymore , ” says swastika . “we just make sure that we don’t have onions before a lip - lock , ” she adds , laughing .
in fact , the work atmosphere in general is more conducive to better performances . “with so many young , like - minded people working together , shoots are no - stress now . we don’t even realise when it’s time to pack - up , ” says swastika , who will soon be filming for suman mukhopadhyay’s upcoming shesher kabita , based on rabindranath tagore’s novel .
similarly , parno says : “in ekla akash , param’s and my characters have a fight , which leads to lovemaking . i have to be convinced about it being in the natural scheme of things and it has to be done tastefully . ” she , however , insists that she wouldn’t do full frontal scenes .
in fact , the actresses argue that sex isn’t enough to hook audiences anymore . says director kaushik ganguly : “to think that people would watch a film just because of sex is to undermine the urban audience . in laptop , there is a scene where ananya is ironing her clothes in a bra , but we never even considered making that into a poster to promote the film . ” in laptop , ananya plays a typist who assists a visually challenged novelist and a undefined relationship brews between the two .
raima points to how she prepared for her role in chokher bali . “i did workshops on body language and on how to be comfortable doing all kinds of chores in a sari without a blouse , ” she says .
the actress has just finished shooting for kaushik ganguly’s shobdo , where she plays the wife of a recording artist , who imagines he is hearing sounds . she will start work on anjan dutt’s ganesh talkies in december , and has two more rituparno films lined up . “one is an adaptation of tagore’s chitrangada and the other is a fiction documentary on the life of tagore , ” she adds .
parno too put in extra effort , and weight , for her role as nisha , mother of a little girl , in ekla akash . says sandipan ray , director of the film : “parno has an intensity that allows her to handle roles beyond her age . ”
and while parno took guitar lessons for ranjana ami ar ashbo na , mumtaz learnt how to drive a scooter in a week’s time for 033 . “i’d never even been on a cycle and there i was giving a shot on a scooty on the busy red road with my co - actor saheb riding pillion , ” she recalls . for musalmanir galpo , the actress learnt horse riding in five days . “i will soon start shooting for bandopadhyay’s next , kolkata 2012 , where i play a muslim athlete from metiabruz , struggling to survive in a male - dominated field , ” says the actress , who is currently filming for anjan das’s life in a zero .
for ananya , in rituparno ghosh’s abohoman , the film that won her the 2010 national award for best actress , the challenge was the different layers that her character had . “at one level , i was playing shikha , a struggling , unrefined theatre actress . then there was shikha , six years down the line , a successful and glamorous film heroine . and on a third level i played binodini in the film within the film , ” she says . ananya is currently shooting for kamaleshwar muk - herjee’s jwala , where she plays ritwik ghatak’s wife , surama . incidentally , mumtaz too will appear in jwala as bengali actress supriya devi .
ananya is also looking forward to the august release of agnidev chatterjee’s film teen kanya , where she plays a call girl who is raped .
will these women move into mainstream potboilers ? or , will they do item numbers if the movie calls for it ? nobody’s ruling anything out . and though the world of cinema has its constant ups and downs , chances are bright that bengal’s leading ladies will be making screen - scorching performances for some time to come .

heavenly bodies of one kind or another loomed large in this year’s main competition , most obviously in lars von trier’s melancholia and terrence malick’s the tree of life but also in naomi kawase’s hanezu ( japan ) , which features several close - ups of a misty moon threatening in its sheer bulk . whether or not the prevalence of this ponderous motif reflects the current economic doom and gloom is open to debate . on a brighter note , george méliès’s delightful 16 - minute - long le voyage sur la lune ( a trip to the moon ) of 1902 , superbly restored , was among the highlights of the cannes classics strand .
resolutely down - to - earth despite its ethereal title , alice rohrwacher’s feature debut corpo celeste ( heavenly body , italy / swiss / france , pictured above ) , premiered at the directors’ fornight and awarded cannes’ città di roma prize for emerging cinema from latin countries , offers yet another slant on this notion , this time metaphorical . a coming - of - age story doubling as a spiritual quest , the film is set in calabria , like last year’s festival hit le quattro volte . rohrwacher’s sensitive portrayal of local realities steers clear of stereotypes and captures something of the region’s gritty appeal through the eyes of a 13 - year - old girl , marta .
rohrwacher elicits yet another captivating performance by a young actor ( a signature note of this year’s festival ) from yile vianello , whose blond hair and otherworldly beauty set her apart from her peers . rohrwacher apparently eventually found the actress she had been looking for in a sealed - off , shangri - la - like community in central italy . the title alludes at once to marta’s pale body , on the cusp of womanhood , the body of christ , and earth itself , viewed from outer space as a heavenly body among many .
an advertisement filmmaker by profession , jayasundara is known for his very realistic and brilliant use of isolated set ups . serene and uninhabited settings are other conventional features of his films .
jayasundara was the first sri lankan filmmaker to win the prestigious cannes film festival camera d ' or in 2005 for his film ' the forsaken land ' .

almost as soon as settlement of new south wales began , in 1788 , reports of the “new” country were sent back to england . the public was interested not in the routine of convict life but in the details of strange new flora and fauna . in the colony itself there was little time for any other than practical considerations . early publications were dominated by reports of new lands and rivers , journeys of exploration , summaries of what had so far been discovered in the “new” continent .

perhaps more so than in other countries , the literature of australia characteristically expresses collective values . even when the literature deals with the experiences of an individual , those experiences are very likely to be estimated in terms of the ordinary , the typical , the representative . it aspires on the whole to represent integration rather than disintegration . it does not favour the heroicism of individual action unless this shows dogged perseverance in the face of inevitable defeat . although it may express a strong ironic disapproval of collective mindlessness , the object of criticism is the mindlessness rather than the conformity .

not to be forgotten in any account of the first hundred years are the published journals of the explorers . not only were their discoveries of widespread interest , but many of them—including charles sturt , edward john eyre , and sir thomas livingstone mitchell —were accomplished writers . eyre’s account of his struggle around the great australian bight ( a wide embayment of the indian ocean ) inspired the australian novelist patrick white in writing voss ( 1957 ) , although white modeled that novel in part on the experiences of ludwig leichhardt , explorer and naturalist who in the 1840s led a dangerous expedition through interior australia that resulted in the discovery of many sites suitable for settlement .

from place to place , they ( either informally or ceremonially ) name each place , telling of its creation and of its relation to the journeys of the ancestors . this practice serves at least three significant purposes : it reinforces their knowledge of local geography—that is , the food routes , location of water holes , places of safety , places of danger , the region’s terrain , and so on—and it also serves a social function ( sometimes bringing large clans together ) and a religious or ritual function .
roar louder ! leap higher ! ye surf - beds , and sprinkle your foam on the furze ; bring the dreams that brought sleep to our turf - beds , to camps of our long ago years , with the flashing and sparkling of broadswords , with the tossing of banners and spears , with the trampling of hard hoofs on hard swards , with the mingling of trumpets and cheers .
many of the stories have to do with the journeys of the ancestors and the “creation sites , ” places at which they created different clans and animals . other stories concern contests between ancestor figures for power and knowledge . a sequence of stories or

the intention of the song man or storyteller is not to assert a sense of individuality but to identify the continuing validity of the song or the story . there may be direct address to the listener ( or , in more recent times , the reader ) , but this is a device of inclusion . it is also a stratagem to ensure understanding , providing the opportunity for explanation and elaboration whenever that is desirable .
after the war , paterson returned to journalism . he was editor of the sydney sportsman from 1921 - 1930 , and contributed racing and sports reports to smith ' s weekly . following his retirement from full - time journalism in 1930 , paterson continued to write , publishing a successful book of children ' s verse , the animals noah forgot ( 1933 ) , a semi - autobiographical book of journalistic reminiscences , happy dispatches ( 1934 ) , and a second novel , the shearer ' s colt ( 1936 ) . paterson ' s contribution to literature was recognised with the award of a c . b . e . in 1939 . he died in sydney on 5 february 1941 .
aboriginal oral tradition may be public ( open to all members of a community and often a kind of entertainment ) or sacred ( closed to all but initiated members of one or the other sex ) . narratives of the public sort range from stories told by women to young children ( mostly elementary versions of creation stories—also appropriate for tourists and amateur anthropologists ) to the recitation of song cycles in large gatherings ( known as corroborees ) . even the most uncomplicated narratives of the dreaming introduce basic concepts about the land and about what it is that distinguishes right behaviour from wrong . when children are old enough to prepare for their initiation ceremonies , the stories become more elaborate and complex . among the sacred songs and stories are those that are men’s business and those that are women’s business ; each is forbidden to the eyes and ears of the other sex and to the uninitiated .

important stories that deal with the activities of perhaps just one or two of the ancestral figures and belong to adjacent areas and adjacent clans may constitute a song cycle . some of these stories do not allow for variation and constitute a formal literature with precise structures and particular language . for example , repetition is an important structural device . verb forms and tenses indicate the unchanging yet ongoing relationship between the ancestral past and the present . the persistent theme of transformation , a theme characteristic of many oral literatures , is for the people a way of access to their mythic past , to the eternal present of the dreaming .
at the outbreak of the first world war , paterson travelled to england in the hope of obtaining an appointment as a war correspondent . unsuccessful in this ambition , paterson served on the western front as a volunteer ambulance driver , and was subsequently commissioned as an officer in the australian imperial force , serving in the middle east . during the war , a third collection of paterson ' s verse , saltbrush bill , j . p . , and other verses , was published by angus and robertson , along with a selection of his prose pieces , three elephant power and other stories . in 1921 , paterson ' s three collections of verse were combined in the collected verse of a . b . paterson , a work frequently republished through the twentieth century .

after finishing school , paterson became an articled clerk at a sydney law firm , and was admitted as a solicitor in 1886 . paterson practised as a solicitor until the early years of the twentieth century , by which time he had also developed a promising literary career . his earliest published work dates from 1885 , when he submitted a poem criticising the british war in the sudan ( in which australian troops were involved ) to the bulletin , a new literary journal with an australian nationalist focus . over the next decade the increasingly popular and influential bulletin provided an important forum for the publication of paterson ' s verse , which appeared under the pseudonym ‘the banjo’ , adopted from the name of one of his favourite horses .

djanggawul song cycle recounts in 188 songs the journey of three ancestral beings , a brother and two sisters , in the millingimbi region . those ancestors created all that territory . water holes become sacred because there they created the people of a particular totem or there an important aspect of the law was established . places acquire a name ; they come into being . much of the cycle is about fertility and increase and about the relations between men and women . for example , men steal from the sisters the sacred objects and the power that goes with them , and , while that legend might appear to concede the dominance of men in tribal practice ( according to custom ) , it also acknowledges women as the original source of power and knowledge .

australia has rightly been named the land of the dawning . wrapped in the midst of early morning , her history looms vague and gigantic . the lonely horseman riding between the moonlight and the day sees vast shadows creeping across the shelterless and silent plains , hears strange noises in the primeval forest , where flourishes a vegetation long dead in other lands , and feels , despite his fortune , that the trim utilitarian civilisation which bred him shrinks into insignificance beside the contemptuous grandeur of forest and ranges coeval with an age in which european scientists have cradled his own race .
