folk tales around the campfire we set up our tents on the sand beneath the canopy of towering mangetti trees , enveloped on all sides by dense bushveld . after dinner , henry joins us around our campfire with another male ju / ’hoansi elder . in a well - judged theatrical flourish , henry substitutes his jeans and t - shirt for the more traditional regalia . he places his spear , bow and arrow carefully on the sand as he sits to translate for his companion , who in his mother tongue shares tales of close scrapes with lions and extensive hunting expeditions . almost every word draws on one of the palatal ‘clicks’ that decorates all san languages .

director : wayne coe starring : brad dourif , james earl jones , william atherton what’s the story ? a gothic portmanteau western in which two strangers spin scary tales around a campfire . like most anthology films , the individual stories are hit - and - miss . but what makes grim prairie tales such a lost gem are the wraparound segments in which dourif’s uptight city clerk is forced to spend a long , dark night of the soul with jones’ grotesque bounty hunter ( and the corpse he’s got in tow ) .

grim prairie tales sold well on videotape after being self - distributed theatrically by east west film partners . coe wrote a prequel called grim prairie tales : rescue party in which jones’ character morrison sought to rescue his kidnapped grandchild from his murderous son - in - law , raymer . ( raymer was the corpse in the film . ) that second installment never materialized . after grim prairie tales came out , coe did numerous commercial animations and started shooting music videos and sketch comedy . he worked on several screenplays throughout the 1990s and launched into a successful painting career in 2000 .
please please please , do not confuse this movie with the shitty movie called campfire stories . that ones a piece of crap , while this one is really good . ( i haven’t seen the “campfire tales” film with gunner hansen so i can’t tell you about that one . ) but this one has been a favorite of mine since i first saw it . in fact , i have got to get my niece ( 16yrs old ) and nephew ( 13yrs old ) to watch this next week . i’m sure i could spook them silly with it , as i did with their sister…

a good horror anthology in the vein of creepshow , tales from the crypt , and tales from the darkside . however instead of being influenced by the ec horror comics of the 50s and 60s , this is influenced by horror urban legends . the segment

with the internet chatroom was ahead of its time . i liked the twist ending , it wasn ' t an original idea , but i didn ' t see it coming in this movie .
the four leave the scene of the accident , leaving flares on the road . they end up in the ruins of a 200 - year - old - plus church and build a campfire . they then begin to pass the time telling ghost stories .
in a universe similar to those of the pmd games , follow zoro and duck as they hide outside of the walls of the eternal town , uncover a corrupted system of power , discover terrible truths and , most importantly , talk around the campfire .
despite being a small film by a first - time director , grim prairie tales landed the two leads who drove the film with their fun banter . coe recalls that at the time jones was worth around $ 300 , 000 per feature , although this role required far less screen time than usual . “i think what was offered was $ 25 , 000 cash and $ 25 , 000 ownership in the film , ” says the director . “he happened to be available . ” at a meeting with jones at his home , the famed thespian told coe that his twisted tales reminded him of james beckwourth , a mid - 19 th century author and “prevaricator of tall western tales . ” jones liked the script and the footage they showed him , so he signed on .
a group of teens , stranded in the woods after a car accident , entertain themselves by telling classic horror stories . what follows is a series of eerie tales that include monsters , psychopaths , and ghosts , and that remind you that things aren ' t always what they seem .
amelia writes from grand teton national park where she lives with her husband and five young children . she ' s committed to getting out every single day with her family , hence the birth of tales of a mountain mama . she is a long - time “gear head” and strongly believes that good gear is essential to happy adventures .
there is a strong sense that people want to talk and discuss today ' s rapid global changes more than ever and campfire can evolve into a platform that fulfils that need whilst looking at ways to structure long - term thinking and collective action in the face of the impending swing to the right that has taken so many people by surprise .
we are collectively working towards a framework for real and radical evolutionary change . we can use this potential agenda as a starting point as well as our ' think global , act local ' section , where people from the community are able to table and share their tales and describe how they ' re making the world a better place at a local level .
the title is right , the tales here are nothing more than some old - fashioned ghost stories . but , these are really more suited for the campfire and not the silver screen . all 3 ( and â½ ) stories are predictable , with classic twist endings that have gotten weaker with time . none of the stories are really that scary , either , if not told deep in the forest by a guy with a flashlight held up to his face . although the film is obviously on a low budget , it managed to still have some good acting ( especially the little girl in the ã ? â¢ã ? â ? ã ? â ? people can lick tooã ? â¢ã ? â ? ã ? â ? segment ) .
white tales lodge has 7 bunk rooms which can sleep up to 40 people in beds . the rustic decor includes a log stairwell , antler chandelier , and rock walls just to name a few . the basement level houses a kitchen , dining tables , and shower facilities . the usage of our kitchen , dining tables , and shower facilities are complimentary to your rental .
the horror movie landscape is littered with films crying out for hd release , and one in particular that is truly deserving is the creepy old west anthology grim prairie tales . written and directed by wayne coe , who had previous experience as a poster illustrator for movies like out of africa and back to the future , the quirky pentalogy subverted western movie themes in search of something different .
however , with a gentle nudge in the right direction and some helpful tips , i have successfully crossed over to using it daily . while cast iron would certainly not be used for backpacking trips ( because of the weight ) , the great thing about it is being able to use it both for indoor cooking and cooking over a campfire . our collection joins us both at home and out camping .
discussions are open - agenda and can involve global issues or local concerns , across a side spectrum of interests from politics to the arts , ecology and well - being to how we can work together co - operatively . we are about to launch a campfire ideas institute via our website ( still under beta test until the summer ) , supported and sponsored by brian eno , which we will discuss at our spring meetings .
the rules , then . availability in some regions but not others doesn’t count – these are films that , as far as we can ascertain , have never been released on dvd anywhere . likewise , things that have been available but are now out of print do not make the cut . and we’ve kept it to films with either reasonably recognisable directors or cast . we didn ' t bother with tales from the quadead zone , for example . . .
as we wait for that film to emerge , we hope that grim prairie tales can receive the blu - ray release it deserves with a widescreen video disc that allows us to fully appreciate the movie’s panoramic landscapes and dark imagery . by the way , this was the feature film debut of future two - time academy award winning cinematographer janusz kaminski , who later shot saving private ryan , war of the worlds , war horse , and the forthcoming ready player one .
hay on wye isn ' t an ordinary place . for a town so small in size , it is packed with life , history and character and like lewes , where the first campfire conversation is held this year , its non - conformist nature sits well with our fledgling community and we’re happy to be continuing our spring season of conversation events in 2017 in this vibrant welsh borders town with an invitation to broad and lively topical debate and in one of the most vibrant creative spaces in town .
in south africa , names like coenraad de buys , karel trichardt , henry heartly , petrus jacobs ( 110 lions , 750 elephants ) , jan viljoen , major p . j . pretorius , and , more recently , nico van rooyen , bertie guillaume , and mike cameron will often come up in discussions around the campfire . mike was born in 1939 and grew up in the koedoesrant ( kudu ' s hill ) area of the northern transvaal . that was an era . . . read more
being an indie film , grim prairie tales left no discernible financial trail , unlike a larger studio picture , and coe admits that he was not deeply involved on that side and has not been affiliated with the picture since 1991 . “the video license lasts for 20 years , and as soon as it ended in 2010 i saw dvds , ” he says . unfortunately , they were bootleg dubs from vhs . it appears that a laserdisc came out around the time of the anthology’s original release , but copies are scarce .
it ' s the witching hour on a dark , moonless night . you ' re huddled with friends around a campfire in the woods far from town , taking turns telling stories . someone has just recounted a particularly eerie tale about an encounter with a ghost , insisting it was true . you sit quietly , staring into the flames , reluctant to let on that it actually made your skin crawl . then someone in the shadows clears his throat and begins to speak :
did you hear the one about . . .
the anthology film starts off with four teenagers driving home from a concert one night . they get in an accident , and while waiting for help to arrive they tell spooky stories in a crumbled old building they found in the woods around a campfire they‘ve built . what we have here are three half hour stories , plus the wraparound story . wait , that’s actually not right . right in the beginning we have a really quick story in black and white that spans maybe 10 minutes . it’s the classic “the hook” urban legend .
, it’s essentially an r rated kid’s movie , where it would work best on those who were not yet old enough to watch it , technically . the tales are all based on urban legends ( hook handed guy ( again ) , girl reaches down to pet her dog and realizes it’s a killer , and , oddly , the farmer’s daughter ? ) , many of the protagonists ( including the storytellers ) are young , and it’s not even particularly violent / bloody . yet there are enough f bombs and nudity to ensure an r rating . what the ?

skull and crossbones ,
a pirate romp that starts off like a retelling of edgar allan poe ' s
the gold bug
but
may be a bit difficult for jaded horror fans to warm up to ; the first half hour or so is standard zero - budget fare with only an unusual amount of gore to distinguish it . stick with it , though , and you ' ll be well rewarded ; the last two stories really pay off with a fine mix of storytelling , grue , and sick laughs ; coupled with some atmospheric camerawork and nifty monster effects . directors cooke and talbot show a definite flair for pulling chills from a threadbare budget , and their affinity for horror anthologies continued in 1995 with the less satisfying but interesting
, reuniting them with hansen . here ' s hoping they step behind the camera again , as these guys could easily become the amicus of our digital video generation .

a teen - age girl is babysitting in a big house at the end of the block . after putting the baby to sleep , she settles in on the couch to watch some tv . she turns on a sitcom and watches an overweight man in his forties talk with a thin , beautiful young woman in a kitchen . another young woman enters . the man bites into a sandwich and dribbles mustard on his shirt , and the women roll their eyes . the audience laughs .
just then , the babysitter starts to feel uneasy . something ' s wrong , but she can ' t put her finger on it .
suddenly , she hears a creak behind her , and the sound of someone panting .
at that moment , the realization hits her and she screams : the thin young women on the tv are the schlubby guy ' s wife and daughter .
adrenalin takes over . she doesn ' t have time to think . the girl rushes toward the door—just as a masked man jumps out from behind the couch and starts chasing her .
somebody , help ! help me understand why the heavyset man doesn ' t have an age - appropriate partner !
the babysitter screams .
the masked man is quick—he grabs her and raises a long butcher ' s knife high in the air . as she looks up at the gleaming blade , her heart nearly stops .
in the reflection in the metal , she sees that the wife is yelling at the husband for eating her last luna bar , which , she explains , is a nutritional snack for women . the husband appears panicked and asks if the bar could turn him gay .
the babysitter lunges for the knife , wrenches it away from the masked man , and stabs her own eyes until she is blind , and dead .
the psychopath then saws off her limbs as the big man on the tv breaks his wife ' s mini exercise trampoline while jumping to get a glimpse of his hot neighbor sunbathing .
a couple is driving on the highway when they see a girl in a fifties - style prom dress walking along the side of the road . the girl waves them down , and they pull up beside her .
please , would you take me to 33 sycamore lane ?
the girl asks .
that ' s where billy lives , and he ' s been waiting for me all night .
there ' s something kind of off about the girl , something sad about her eyes , but the couple says sure , and she gets in the back seat .
they drive through heavy mist to sycamore lane , and finally reach no . 33 . but , when they turn to say goodbye to the hitchhiker , they are stunned to find that the back seat is empty .
and you know what ' s even crazier ?
he adds .
she wasn ' t even thin enough to be kevin james ' s wife in a network sitcom .
the girl is shocked .
but she was totally thin . she was maybe five feet four , a hundred and thirty pounds .
the guy just shakes his head .
you ' re living in a fucking dream world .
as the mist clears , their headlights illuminate a small cemetery beside the house . they drive up to it and read the twin headstones closest to the road :
here lies billy dunlap , 1935 - 1952 , and elizabeth reynolds , 1935 - 1952 . engaged to be married , died tragically in an automobile accident .
the hair on the backs of their necks stands up as they turn to each other and realize that “king of queens” had almost fourteen million viewers for the season - four finale , on may 20 , 2002 .
it ' s the end of a long day at the office , and a woman waits alone for the elevator . when it finally arrives , the doors open to reveal a crowd of people . the group is eerily silent , and their faces are shrouded in shadow . an elevator operator stands near the door , smiling .
but the woman gets a bad feeling about the man and the elevator , so she shakes her head and takes the stairs .
only years later does she learn that there was once a fire in the building and a group of people got stuck in the elevator and died there . legend has it that they ' ve been doomed to ride the elevator ever since .
legend also has it that kevin james was paid four hundred thousand dollars per episode of
king of queens
starting in 2001 , but leah remini reached that salary only after strenuous negotiations in the show’s eighth and final season .
folks say that , if you listen closely , you can still hear the laugh track .

a young girl named lisa often had to spend time alone at home at night , as her parents worked late . they bought her a dog to keep her company and protect her .
one night lisa was awakened by a dripping sound . she got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the tap properly . as she was getting back into the bed she stuck her hand under the bed , and the dog licked it .
the dripping sound continued , so she went to the bathroom and made sure the tap was turned off there , too . she went back to her bedroom and stuck her hand under the bed , and the dog licked it again .
but the dripping continued , so she went outside and turned off all the faucets out there . she came back to bed , stuck her hand under it , and the dog licked it again .
the dripping continued : drip , drip , drip . this time she listened and located the source of the dripping — it was coming from her closet ! she opened the closet door , and there found her poor dog hanging upside down with its neck cut . written on the window on the inside of the cupboard was ,
humans can lick , too ! ! !
one night a woman went out for drinks with her girlfriends . she left the bar fairly late at night , got in her car and onto the deserted highway . she noticed a lone pair of headlights in her rear - view mirror , approaching at a pace just slightly quicker than hers . as the car pulled up behind her she glanced and saw the turn signal on—the car was going to pass—when suddenly it swerved back behind her , pulled up dangerously close to her tailgate and the brights flashed .
now she was getting nervous . the lights dimmed for a moment and then the brights came back on and the car behind her surged forward . the frightened woman struggled to keep her eyes on the road and fought the urge to look at the car behind her . finally , her exit approached but the car continued to follow , flashing the brights periodically .
through every stoplight and turn , it followed her until she pulled into her driveway . she figured her only hope was to make a mad dash into the house and call the police . as she flew from the car , so did the driver of the car behind her—and he screamed ,
lock the door and call the police ! call 911 !
when the police arrived the horrible truth was finally revealed to the woman . the man in the car had been trying to save her . as he pulled up behind her and his headlights illuminated her car , he saw the silhouette of a man with a butcher knife rising up from the back seat to stab her , so he flashed his brights and the figure crouched back down .
two dormmates in college were in the same science class . the teacher had just reminded them about the midterm the next day when one dormmate— let ' s call her julie—got asked to this big bash by the hottest guy in school . the other dormmate , meg , had pretty much no interest in going and , being a diligent student , she took notes on what the midterm was about . after the entire period of flirting with her date , julie was totally unprepared for her test , while meg was completely prepared for a major study date with her books .
at the end of the day , julie spent hours getting ready for the party while meg started studying . julie tried to get meg to go , but she was insistent that she would study and pass the test . the girls were rather close and julie didn ' t like leaving meg alone to be bored while she was out having a blast . julie finally gave up , using the excuse that she would cram in homeroom the next day .
julie went to the party and had the time of her life with her date . she headed back to the dorm around 2 a . m . and decided not to wake meg . she went to bed nervous about the midterm and decided she would wake up early to ask meg for help .
she woke up and went to wake meg . meg was lying on her stomach , apparently sound asleep . julie rolled meg over to reveal meg ' s terrified face . julie , concerned , turned on the desk lamp . meg ' s study stuff was still open and had blood all over it . meg had been slaughtered . julie , in horror , fell to the floor and looked up to see , written on the wall in meg ' s blood :
aren ' t you glad you didn ' t turn on the light ?
my great , great grandmother , ill for quite some time , finally passed away after lying in a coma for several days . my great - great grandfather was devastated beyond belief , as she was his one true love and they had been married over 50 years . they were married so long it seemed as if they knew each other ' s innermost thoughts .
after the doctor pronounced her dead , my great - great grandfather insisted that she was not . they had to literally pry him away from his wife ' s body so they could ready her for burial .
now , back in those days they had backyard burial plots and did not drain the body of its fluids . they simply prepared a proper coffin and committed the body ( in its coffin ) to its permanent resting place . throughout this process , my great - great grandfather protested so fiercely that he had to be sedated and put to bed . his wife was buried and that was that .
that night he woke to a horrific vision of his wife hysterically trying to scratch her way out of the coffin . he phoned the doctor immediately and begged to have his wife ' s body exhumed . the doctor refused , but my great - great grandfather had this nightmare every night for a week , each time frantically begging to have his wife removed from the grave .
finally the doctor gave in and , together with local authorities , exhumed the body . the coffin was pried open and to everyone ' s horror and amazement , my great - great grandmother ' s nails were bent back and there were bloody scratch - marks on the inside of the coffin .
a teenage boy drove his date to a dark and deserted lovers ' lane for a make - out session . after turning on the radio for mood music , he leaned over and began kissing the girl .
a short while later , the music suddenly stopped and an announcer ' s voice came on , warning in an urgent tone that a convicted murderer had just escaped from the state insane asylum — which happened to be located not far from lovers ' lane — and that anyone who noticed a strange man lurking about with a hook in place of his right hand should immediately report his whereabouts to the police .
the girl became frightened and asked to be taken home . the boy , feeling bold , locked all the doors instead and , assuring his date they would be safe , attempted to kiss her again . she became frantic and pushed him away , insisting that they leave . relenting , the boy peevishly jerked the car into gear and spun its wheels as he pulled out of the parking space .
when they arrived at the girl ' s house she got out of the car , and , reaching to close the door , began to scream uncontrollably . the boy ran to her side to see what was wrong and there , dangling from the door handle , was a bloody hook !
so - and - so ' s friend , a girl in her teens , is babysitting for a family in newport beach , ca . the family is wealthy and has a very large house—you know the sort , with a ridiculous amount of rooms . anyways , the parents are going out for a late dinner / movie . the father tells the babysitter that once the children are in bed she should go into this specific room ( he doesn ' t really want her wandering around the house ) and watch tv there .
the parents take off and soon she gets the kids into bed and goes to the room to watch tv . she tries watching tv , but she is disturbed by a clown statue in the corner of the room . she tries to ignore it for as long as possible , but it starts freaking her out so much that she can ' t handle it .
she resorts to calling the father and asks ,
hey , the kids are in bed , but is it okay if i switch rooms ? this clown statue is really creeping me out .
the father says seriously ,
get the kids , go next door and call 911 .
he responds ,
just go next door and once you call the police , call me back .
she gets the kids , goes next door , and calls the police . when the police are on the way , she calls the father back and asks ,
so , really , what ' s going on ?
he responds ,
we don ' t have a clown statue .
he then further explains that the children have been complaining about a clown watching them as they sleep . he and his wife had just blown it off , assuming that they were having nightmares .
the police arrive and apprehend the
clown ,
who turns out to be a midget . a midget clown ! i guess he was some homeless person dressed as a clown , who somehow got into the house and had been living there for several weeks . he would come into the kids ' rooms at nights and watch them while they slept . as the house was so large , he was able to avoid detection , surviving off their food , etc . he had been in the tv room right before the babysitter right came in there . when she entered he didn ' t have enough time to hide , so he just froze in place and pretended to be a statue .
a girl and her boyfriend are making out in his car . they had parked in the woods so no one would see them . when they were done , the boy got out to pee and the girl waited for him in the safety of the car .
after waiting five minutes , the girl got out of the car to look for her boyfriend . suddenly , she sees a man in the shadows . scared , she gets back in the car to drive away , when she hears a very faint squeak . . . squeak . . . squeak . . .
this continued a few seconds until the girl decided she had no choice but to drive off . she hit the gas as hard as possible but couldn ' t go anywhere , because someone had tied a rope from the bumper of the car to a nearby tree .
well , the girl slams on the gas again and then hears a loud scream . she gets out of the car and realizes that her boyfriend is hanging from the tree . the squeaky noises were his shoes slightly scraping across the top of the car ! ! !
my cousin and his wife lived in sydney with this huge doberman in a little apartment off maroubra road . one night they went out for dinner and a spot of clubbing . by the time they got home it was late and my cousin was more than a little drunk . they got in the door and were greeted by the dog choking to death in the loungeroom .
my cousin just fainted , but his wife rang the veterinarian , who was an old family friend of hers , and got her to agree to meet her at the surgery . the wife drives over and drops off the dog , but decides that she ' d better go home and get her hubby into bed .
she gets home and finally slaps my cousin into consciousness , but he ' s still drunk . it takes her almost half an hour to get him up the stairs , and then the phone rings . she ' s tempted to just leave it , but she decides that it must be important or they wouldn ' t be ringing that late at night . as soon as she picks up the phone , she hears the vet ' s voice screaming out :
thank god i got you in time ! leave the house ! now ! no time to explain !
then the vet hangs up .
because she ' s such an old family friend , the wife trusts her , and so she starts getting the hubby down the stairs and out of the house . by the time they ' ve made it all the way out , the police are outside . they rush up the front stairs past the couple and into the house , but my cousin ' s wife still doesn ' t have a clue what ' s going on .
have they got who ?
says the wife , starting to get really pissed off .
well , i found out what the dog was choking on – it was a human finger .
just then the police drag out a dirty , stubbly man who is bleeding profusely from one hand .
hey sarge ,
one of them yells .
we found him in the bedroom .
something terrible happened to a 10 - year - old girl who had braids . the little girl had been wearing her braids in a ponytail for the longest time , and apparently the braids were old , at least 2 to 3 months old , and the mother never took them down to wash them or let them air out or anything .
anyway , the girl had been complaining to her mother about having a headache for about two weeks , but her mother just brushed it off , assuming that she had hit her head against the wall or something . well , one morning the child again complained to her mother about having a headache while getting ready for school . again , the mother brushed her off . when the child got to school , she told her teacher that her head was hurting . the teacher assumed that the braids were too tight in the child ' s hair and attempted to let the ponytail down . when she removed the hair piece and let the braids loose , there was a spider in the child ' s hair .
the spider had laid eggs in the child ' s hair and the spiders were eating her scalp . she was rushed to the hospital , where she later died .
this happened in monroe , la . it was all over the news and in the papers for about a week or so . please , parents , don ' t leave braids or any kind of hair extensions in children ' s ( or your own ) hair — no more than 2 - 3 weeks !
back in ' 75 a young couple , both 18 , decided to get married right after high school . the father of the bride lived in palm beach in a mansion and was able to afford a big wedding for them . to make a long story short , they got married and the wedding was beautiful .
after the wedding they had a big reception in an old building and everyone got pretty drunk . when there were only about 20 people left , the groom decided that they should play hide - and - seek . everyone agreed and the groom was
it .
they all went and hid and the game went on .
after about 20 minutes everyone had been found except the bride . everyone looked everywhere and tore the whole place apart looking for her . after a few hours the groom was furious , thinking the bride was playing a terrible trick . eventually , everyone went home .
a few weeks later the groom , having placed a missing persons report , gave up looking for her . heartbroken , he tried to go on with his life .
three years later a little old woman was cleaning the place up . she happened to be in the attic and saw an old trunk . she dusted it off , and , out of curiosity , opened it . she screamed at the top of her lungs , ran out of the building and called the police .
apparently , the bride had decided to hide in the trunk for the game of hide - and - seek . when she sat down , the lid fell , knocking her unconscious and locking her inside . she suffocated after a day or so . when the woman found her , she was rotting , her mouth in the shape of a scream .

in the big canvas of the screenplay of chandragrohon , parvez has depicted diversified characters who belong to the downtrodden people . through these characters he takes the viewers to a crisis that challanges our rational thinking . the story is neither unrealistic nor supranatural , but very practical : will anybody allow his or her son to marry an illegitimate girl ? may be in the conventional dhaliwood movies , the son , ignoring his parents makes it happen , but in chandragrohon it does not happen and the incident drives the protagonist to insanity .

ershad kamol it is a common allegation against bangladeshi filmdom that these days not many aesthetically rich movies are released targetting the masses . only a very few filmmakers are coming up with new ideas and rich presentations as well . young filmmaker murad parvez ' s debut feature film chandragrohon is one such production worth watching . after two weeks of remarkable success at star cineplex , the movie is now being screened at the theatres outside dhaka city .
he had the desire to grab the national award for his debut film . however , winning eight national awards in seven categories for a film is definitely more than any debutant filmmaker could dream about . but this is exactly what happened to young filmmaker murad parvez , whose debut feature film chandragrohon grabbed eight national awards . the delighted director , however , claimed that although he had the thirst to win the award , the results were more than his expectation .
chandragrohon , adapted from the narratives titled ranighater brittanto by syed mustafa siraj , is different from the stereotypical storyline of bangladeshi commercial cinemas . it deals with the people living at the kheyaghat ( the bank of a river where people go for boats to cross the river ) . for business purposes , people from different corners of the country live in such areas , the ghats are also infamous for criminal activities . however , murad parvez ' s intention is not to feature this sordid side as is the tradition in dhaliwood based movies .
chandragrohon , adapted from narratives titled ranighater brittanto by syed mustafa siraj , is different from the stereotypical storyline of bangladeshi commercial movies . it deals with the people living at the kheyaghat ( a common place beside a river where people go for boats to cross the river ) . for business purposes , people from different corners of the country live in such areas , even the ghats are infamous places for criminal activities . however , murad parvez ' s intention is not to feature extra - judicial activities following the traditional dhaliwood based movies .
i read the story ranighater brittanto in 2004 to make a tv drama ,
says the award winning film director , screen playwright and dialogue writer murad parvez , who is basically a tv drama maker ,
but , actor saba , who performed the protagonist in chandragrohon , suggested that i make this a film . surprisingly the chance came when azam faruk , a uk based businessman , approached me showing desire to produce a aesthetically rich movie in bangladesh . i gave him the storyline and he was so impressed that he decided to make a big budget movie taking risk of making the film an inexperienced director like me .
sohana saba is a one of the popular bangladeshi tv actress , model , director , and producer . she is very cute , hot , beautiful and talented actress . she acted many tv dramas and movies . and her popular tv dramas were nupur , alokon , wow , khoyeri dana shalikher , mon , ekti diary , serious ekta kotha ache , odrissho manob , pabon mazhi , shei rateu bristi chilo , valobashi tai emoni etc . sohana saba also acted many movies aaina , khelaghor , chandragrohon , priyotomeshu , brihonnola , shororipu etc . sohana saba received meril prothom alo awards for her outstanding performance . sohana saba director - playwright murad parvez ( 2007 - 2015 ) . now the couple separated .
shahiduzzaman selim : shahiduzzaman selim is one of the most famous and successful television actor and director in bangladesh . his debut tv drama was jonaki jwoley ( 1989 ) . he acted several tv dramas and some movies . his most successful tv dramas were mamuli bepar , bhalobashi koto – bhalobashi na to , rong mohol , juarir bou , ononto prodip , lilaboti , jhamela nonstop , chorer bou , dokshinayoner din , sab badha periye , aji bijon ghore , pattayar pathe neyamat , mongol chhaya , jiboner oli goli etc . his acted some movie mad _ e in bangladesh , chandragrohon , chorabali , devdas , podmo patar jol , oggatonama . shahiduzzaman selim won meril prothom alo awards for kanta and bangladesh national film awards for chorabali . mahfuz ahmed was born january 5 in tangail , bangladesh . shahiduzzaman selim was married another actress rosey siddique and the couples have two daughters , toma and sreema .

postscript : given the very nature of the archives of the hungryalist movement , it is almost impossible to write this essay in english . poetry as a form demands close reading , an attention to language and details , in a way it’s almost impossible to accomplish in translation . consequently , i have chosen to write in more details only about poems that are available online – in english translations . at the same time , i have tried to bear in mind poems that exist solely in bengali . thanks to goirick brahmachari for directing me towards the translated archives at the sunflower collective . readers who read bengali might also benefit from trying to get hold of a copy of one of recent issues of the bengali little magazine chandragrohon , devoted to phalguni roy . for readers interested in probing further into the gender politics of the poem ‘stark electric jesus’ , please read debaprasad bandopadhyay’s essay in the first book - fair issue of the little magazine , aainanagar . i am profoundly grateful to debaprasad - da for articulating in writing what i and some of my friends have discussed in private for ages . and , in doing so , debaprasad - da’s essay has contributed immensely to the developments of my own arguments on the gender politics of the hungryalists .

the national film award for the year 2008 was announced on february 11 . murad parvez individually got three awards : best director award , best screenplay award and best dialogue writer award . azam faruk got the best producer award for producing the movie . imon saha got the best music director award for the picture . and three actors also got national awards in two catagories performing in chndragrahan : zahiruddin piar as the best anti - hero character and dilara zaman and champa for the best female supporting actors .
till then i was just a director and screen playwright of tv plays , who made only a few tv drama serials and single episode plays . so , i was lucky in this sense that even many eminent directors in the country don ' t get a producer willing to make a big budget movie . but in my case good luck knocked on my door and i did not have to look for my producer .
that incident stimulated parvez ' s long cherished desire to make a film . leaving all his activities he totally concentrated on this project .
my only intention was to make an aesthetically rich movie not only to win a few awards but also to entertain the people . often the award winning films don ' t necessarily entertain people ; on the other hand , the mainstream entertaining films in most cases are not asthetically rich , rather contain cheap entertainment .
murad parvez says that the film was made during a month - long residential camp in the remote areas to portray the outdoor scenes authentically .
the key challenge of the movie was to portray a realistic presentation of a ghat scene of the 1960s . in this connection , i chose a location beside the river atrai in a remote village called chandrapur in narail district . throughout the day we used to shoot and in the night we slept in a ship . and i must admit that i got enormous support from all the actors and crew . even the actors have already got their feedback by grabbing three national awards for this movie ,
says murad parvez .
but , it was not the only location that made it such a success . in fact , the film was made in 32 locations to develop the storyline authentically , since in the film the protagonist ' s character and the ghat develop along parallel lines : in advancement of time a bridge is built on the river , which changes the socio - economic structure of the ghat . many locals become jobless and subsequently decide to migrate .
but was the film commercially successful ?
no ,
replies murad ,
due to three major causes we could not make money . first of all the film was released just a few days before the national elections and people were very tense due to the political movements prior to the elections . secondly , due the inexperience , the producer faced problem with the distributors . and , of course the target audience , the middle class , do not go to movie theatres considering the insecurity and dirty atmosphere of the existing movie theatres in the country . as a result the film ran only in nine theatres in major cities .
the success in his debut movie has boosted young filmmaker murad parvez to go onto his next project . he is now preparing for his next film titled daur .
it is completely a commercial thriller for the entertainment of the masses ,
informs parvez .
at the same time murad also wants to make tv plays to continue his practice . murad says ,
in bangladeshi perspective there is no option except making tv plays for a maker to practice and experiment on his technical aspects of filmmaking , since we don ' t have any film institute .

phalani ' s mother shokhina pagli , a mentally disordered woman , became pregnant . but , who could be the father ? everybody suspects each other . subsequently a girl was born and named as phalani which means ' discarded ' . everybody at the locality collectively takes responsibility of the newborn baby , but when the girl was only three years old her mother died and the locals handed over the responsibility of the girl to an elderly woman named moyra mashi ( dilara zaman ) .
phalani ' s character and the ghat develop parallelly in the movie . in advancement of time a bridge is built on the river , which changes the socio - economic structure of the ghat . many locals become jobless and subsequently decide to migrate .
meanwhile phalani becomes a nice looking teenager having a romantic relationship with kashu , a driver by profession of the same locality . when their romance becomes known , the elders of the locality who treat orphan phalani as their child , decide to arrange their marriage before migration .
this parallel development of the plot has been handled quite efficiently by murad parvez . from the very first scene , in a rainy dark night a few people are wandering around , has aptly created the suspense . and the director has maintained the tempo through his remarkable directorial compositions , handling of montage and shot distribution . his use of symbols using natural elements to portray human psyche deserves plaudits . in fact , it would not be exaggeration saying a real rustic life has portrayed in the movie . doing that he has used all the leading technical hands and actors of the country .
but , the movie loses the tempo when the love affair develops between phalani and kashu . the director could have avoided many scenes such as kashu ' s imagination of phalani dancing like a ' princess ' at the jatra scene . more than that many scenes have abruptly appeared . and the weakest part of the movie is that the climax ( when kashu ' s father abul with his ill motive for stopping the marriage of his son with claims of himself being the father of phalani ) has not been presented effectively .
however , the most powerful feature of the movie is bold acting by the cast members . dilara zaman as moyra mashi , azam faruk as a marwari ghat owner chowbeji , ks feroz as abul , shahiduzzaman selim as ismail driver , kohinur as madan and gazi rakayat as shambhu presented their respective characters efficiently . as the protagonist ' s character sohana saba - - who has already performed the central character in many feature films made by independent filmmakers - - is impressive in the sequences that feature happiness . but there are signs of struggle in her portrayal of pathos and crisis . popular film actor riaz ' s performance , at best , can be described as average . similarly , popular film actor champa has not managed well her challenging character of a mentally disordered beggar . her gestures appear exaggerated .
mahfuzur rahman ' s cinematography taufiq hossain chowdhury ' editing deserve plaudits . eminent art dirctor uttam guho has successfully created a ghat area of 1960s . music composers imon shaha and habib also deserve kudos for their melodious scores .

september 24 , 2009 : nasa scientists have discovered water molecules in the polar regions of the moon . instruments aboard three separate spacecraft revealed water molecules in amounts that are greater than predicted , but still relatively small . hydroxyl , a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom , also was found in the lunar soil . the findings were published in thursday ' s edition of the journal science .
the observations were made by nasa ' s moon mineralogy mapper , or m 3 (
m - cubed
) , aboard the indian space research organization ' s chandrayaan - 1 spacecraft . nasa ' s cassini spacecraft and nasa ' s epoxi spacecraft have confirmed the find .
above : a very young lunar crater as viewed by nasa ' s moon mineralogy mapper . on the right , the distribution of water - rich minerals is shown in false - color blue . [ more ]
water ice on the moon has been something of a holy grail for lunar scientists for a very long time ,
said jim green , director of the planetary science division at nasa headquarters in washington .
this surprising finding has come about through the ingenuity , perseverance and international cooperation between nasa and the india space research organization .
' s state - of - the - art spectrometer measured light reflecting off the moon ' s surface at infrared wavelengths , splitting the spectral colors of the lunar surface into small enough bits to reveal a new level of detail in surface composition . when the m
science team analyzed data from the instrument , they found the wavelengths of light being absorbed were consistent with the absorption patterns for water molecules and hydroxyl .
when we say ' water on the moon , ' we are not talking about lakes , oceans or even puddles ,
explained carle pieters , m 3 ' s principal investigator from brown university , providence , r . i .
water on the moon means molecules of water and hydroxyl that interact with molecules of rock and dust specifically in the top millimeters of the moon ' s surface .
the m 3 team found water molecules and hydroxyl at diverse areas of the sunlit region of the moon ' s surface , but the water signature appeared stronger at the moon ' s higher latitudes . water molecules and hydroxyl previously were suspected in data from a cassini flyby of the moon in 1999 , but the findings were not published until now .

the data from cassini ' s vims instrument and m 3 closely agree ,
said roger clark , a u . s . geological survey scientist in denver and member of both the vims and m 3 teams .
we see both water and hydroxyl . while the abundances are not precisely known , as much as 1 , 000 water molecule parts - per - million could be in the lunar soil . to put that into perspective , if you harvested one ton of the top layer of the moon ' s surface , you could get as much as 32 ounces of water .
for additional confirmation , scientists turned to the epoxi mission while it was flying past the moon in june 2009 on its way to a november 2010 encounter with comet hartley 2 . the spacecraft not only confirmed the vims and m 3 findings , but also expanded on them .
with our extended spectral range and views over the north pole , we were able to explore the distribution of both water and hydroxyl as a function of temperature , latitude , composition , and time of day ,
said jessica sunshine of the university of maryland . sunshine is epoxi ' s deputy principal investigator and a scientist on the m 3 team .
our analysis unequivocally confirms the presence of these molecules on the moon ' s surface and reveals that the entire surface appears to be hydrated during at least some portion of the lunar day .
the discovery of water molecules and hydroxyl on the moon raises new questions about the origin of
moon water
and its effect on lunar mineralogy . answers to these questions will be studied and debated for years to come .

the term ‘hungry generation’ came to me in the same way its other temporal counterpart – the naxalbari rebellion – made its way into my consciousness . as a legend , as lived memories , stories , broken promises , fragments . in other words , as indirect references . there is also the other , seemingly obvious connection . in everyday bengali middle - class intellectual consciousness , both naxalbari and hungryalist poetics have come to be associated with notions of unsullied rebellious spirits , youthful dissent , experimentation with forms , denial of received forms and rejection in general . to put it simply , radicalism . more specifically , myths of radicalism . this is what it means to come after . for those of us who came of age in the kolkata of late 1980s and early to mid - 1990s , life was a series of aftermaths . the aftermath of naxalbari , the aftermath of hungryalism , the aftermath of ipta , the aftermath of the betrayal of electoral left , the aftermath of the collapse of the soviet empire . aftermaths , by definition , are also the fertile grounds for the births of the myths . precisely because , the events themselves are gone , over .
and that kind of aftermathness , often lived through myths and the memories of others , brings with it its own challenges . removed from the headiness that inevitably accompanies events such as naxalbari or the state - sponsored censure of hungryalist poetics , these aftermaths demand new evaluations . the aftermath transforms yesterday’s rebel into today’s pitiable icon . the aftermath transforms yesterday’s icon into today’s tired office - goer . the aftermath tears off the mask , the veil , leaving most things naked and open , demanding new analyses and new interpretations .
it is , therefore , not surprising that what provided the hungryalist poets their critical edge – the unabashed and repetitive writing of middle - class male alienation and rage – becomes the most institutionalized voice of bengali poetry in the period following 1977 . by the time i came to any conscious reading of contemporary bengali poetry , as an overtly nerdy , overtly politicized , and unapologetically feminist teenager , growing up in a home where neither naxalbari nor hungryalism was out of bounds for adult discussion , the hungryalist alienated voice , often expressed through an unmediated , unreflexive ‘i’ , was the normative voice of bengali poetry . to be a bengali poet was to write about the inability to find oneself in one’s social environment . to be a bengali poet was to mourn about the inability to love and be loved , a feeling often expressed through the much fetishized bengali word ‘oprem . ’ to be a bengali poet was to be lost in a world of default middle - classness . to be a bengali poet was to reiterate again and again the inability to rebel against one’s middle - classness . a gendered script , expressed most often through a neatly distinguished binary between men and women , masculinity and femininity , would round up this dominant script of alienation through which most bengali poets have written themselves , and are still writing themselves . there is nothing ‘anti - establishment’ about this voice . in fact , it is so thoroughly entrenched in post - 1970s bengali poetry that it is difficult to find any other mode of expression . a mode of expression that would not make documentation of middle - class alienation its mainstay .
from the vantage point of hindsight , it is indeed interesting to witness the genesis of this alienation - poetics within hungryalism , and thus also to historicize it . here , in these hungryalist poems , most of them somewhat co - terminous with naxalbari , alienation is its own political category . alienation is not a beginning point , alienation is not a means to an end . rather , alienation is the ‘real’ thing in itself . consequently , the poems themselves are converted into textual and symbolic spaces wherein this political category is given concrete linguistic form , reiterated again and again . the obsessive repetition of the writing of this alienation becomes a celebration of alienation . and this celebration of alienation becomes a form of rebellion in itself . think of this poem by shubho acharya :
a close reading of the poem reveals a strange stasis , the kind of stasis which is constitutive of most alienationist poetics . there are images from the everyday social life we know – the dog , the lamppost on the street , the narrator on the beach , the empty pocket . these are signifiers of a lower middle - class existence , which bring memories of post - independence disillusionment and social crises into the body of the poem – memories that provided the materialist foundation for much of the radical social and cultural movements of the era , including naxalbari . but the poem is hardly a mere list of images . there is an attempt at an ideological reading of the time of its origin – “words like ‘love’ and ‘death’ are utilised for sport . ” this line almost crumbles under the pressure of its own moralism . because it is so invested in a kind of trite , commonsensical moralism , it also misses out on the chance to put any ideological , sociological or imaginative pressure on its language . although like most literary , cultural or political collectives , the hungryalists did not speak in a homogenous or monolithic voice , and deeper readings of the movement’s archives would reveal certain internal fractures , if one could make a quick generalization about the dominant tone of the hungryalist social critique , it is this : hungryalist poems often predicate themselves on easy moralisms , operating under the guise of ideological and political critique . because the default effect of the hungryalist poems is constituted by rage – and youthful rage at that – and poking fun at the more dominant bhadralok moralism , their own moralisms appear as cloaked terrain . in other words , what has often been described as a form of rebellious aesthetics in hungryalist poetics is based on an extremely weak sociological eye .
indeed , acharya’s poem provides its own understanding of rebellion – “a distinctive self - contradiction i advance it can also / be called retreating there is no fear of being ambushed . ” coupled with the two concluding lines – “with the other i chuck the fearless chin / of the world , saying , ‘dance little lady dance’– . ” the self - contradiction does not explode under its own pressure . it does not move forward , it does not create any desire for change . if there is any transformation that happens in this poem , it is one of retreat . almost in the same way , the ‘chucking’ hinted at in the closing lines of the poem , although an assault on existing reality , does not produce anything other than the narrator retreating into his own inwardness – the role of a privileged spectator . maybe it is even an irony - conscious spectator , one whose being is constituted by a social environment of both the failures of liberalisms and left philosophies . yet it is a retreat nonetheless , the consciousness of which the poem records in strange ways .
thus , there is the word ‘ambush’ , residing within the poem as a double - sequitur . on the one hand , it operates as a grave reminder of the time of the emergence of the hungryalist poetics , when incidences of ‘ambush’ – a term that brings into the poem’s body the realities of state violence – had reconstituted the lives of the bengali middle class to a certain extent . precisely because of that ambush - ridden everyday , the temporality which hungryalists share with naxalbari , the word ‘ambush’ exists in the poem as a reminder of its own fucked - up politics of retreating . a deeper examination of the archives of both movements would show the relationship between hungryalist poetics and naxalbari politics to be ambiguous . while this is an issue which demands more in - depth close readings , analyses and reinterpretations of the cultural productions that emerged from both movements , hungryalist poetics nonetheless brings up an unresolved issue : what are the limits of the category of alienation during times of social and political turbulence ? can alienation ever exist as an autonomous political entity , and what are the responsibilities – social , political and aesthetic – of the alienated ?
yes , i am that reader who is never satisfied by mere alienation . in a way , i take the idea of alienation seriously . too seriously , almost . consequently , i see alienation as the beginning point of something bigger , but never an end in itself . as a result , most of the hungryalist poems appear too status - quoist to me . too tame . yes , i repeat : tame and status - quoist . as an individual who has tried to stay involved with activisms of some kind for most of my life , i am politically and emotionally familiar with the terrain that the hungryalists are marking for themselves . a radical - left student organizer during the mid - 1990s – an inconvenient time globally to call oneself leftist – i understand the critique of both the electoral left and the radical left that the hungryalists are relaying . yet the critique they present remains the critique of those who have moved away from the messy terrain of everyday organizing of any kind . in other words , hungryalism remains the aesthetics of the shirkers .
no , i do not expect their poems to change the world . but i do expect their poems to provide me with new ways of seeing the world . this is precisely where the hungryalists have failed . hungryalists did not provide me with a language to understand the specter of the privatization of education that faced most of my generation . hungryalists did not provide me with a language to understand neoliberal economic violence or for that matter the violence of its liberal forebear . hungryalists did not provide me with a language to understand more deeply the complex histories of oppression and identities in this world . hungryalists did not provide me with a language to engage more deeply with the multi - faceted realities of human resistance to oppression . hungryalists did not provide me with a language to understand the global failures of the left .
at most , the hungryalists provided me with a language to complain . at most , the hungryalists provided me with a language to document symptoms . at most , the hungryalists provided me with a language to trivialize everything considered sacred by mainstream society . but that has never been enough for me . i didn’t need any hungryalist to teach me that poverty is dehumanizing , or that the state is capable of breaking and killing . i didn’t need hungryalists to figure out the loopholes and contradictions of bhadralok morality .
yes , i want poems to do more . i want art to do more . i want literature to do more than become a list of gripes and remonstrations . consequently , the hungryalists represent to me a profound failure of the bengali radical imagination , a profound failure of the bengali middle class to fashion a radical poetics . it is not difficult to understand why the linchpin of the movement , the alienated lyrical ‘i’ , alternately angry and sad , stands within the contemporary archives of bengali literature as a thoroughly appropriated category . after all , we middle class bongs love us some good alienation . it makes us feel edgy . it makes us feel sensitive , while leaving the central pillars of our structural existence untouched .
at the same time , there is something in these poems that would mark them as different from the lyricization of alienation in contemporary bengali . a certain sense of urgency , a certain breathlessness that is difficult to quantify . a certain sense that this world is a disaster , and nothing but disaster . a certain intuitive understanding that the bhadralok morality , which has dominated the social and creative life of post - independence bengal , needs to be torn apart . a form of raw rebellion against authoritarianism and social hypocrisy pervades these poems , in their formal experimentation with lines , white spaces , and punctuation . yes , there are moments when i am moved by them . yet this emotional appeal never lasts long . my relationship to hungryalist poetics is one of profound alienation . and that alienation stems from something profoundly simple : my own efforts to find myself within the poems of the hungry archives .
in other words , i am asking , what place has been accorded to women within the hungryalist texts . i will begin with a generalization . women appear in hungryalist poems as bodies – sexual bodies – and nothing but bodies on which desire is projected . in other words , if my alienation from the hungryalism was , to a certain extent , prompted by the fact that much of my political and aesthetic quests remained outside of the boundaries of a hungryalist aesthetics , it is also true that the hungryalist poets could not really imagine that someone like me might be their implied audience .
any sign of female sexual agency is vilified , mocked and ultimately turned into a site of male sexual violation . one can’t really say that the hungryalists write female sexual identity in terms of the virgin - whore dichotomy , because to be a woman with an independent sexual will is to be permanently reduced to the status of a whore within hungryalist poetics . like most of its social analysis , this particular way of reading women reeks of bhadralok moralism , cloaked in the language of male alienationist radicalism . what is absent is any political understanding of marriage as a social institution , of patriarchy as a socio - political category , and of sexuality as socio - cultural constructs of masculinity and femininity . any consciousness other than the sexual kind is automatically denied to women .
