Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids is a 2004 Indian- American documentary film about the children of prostitutes in Sonagachi, Kolkata's red light district.

Zana Briski
Zana Briski( born 25 October 1966) is a British photographer and filmmaker, best known for" Born into Brothels", the 2004 Oscar winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, which she directed.
She founded Kids with Cameras, a non-profit organization that teaches the art of photography to marginalized children in communities throughout the world.
Her interest in photography began at age 10.
After earning a master's degree at the University of Cambridge, she studied documentary photography at International Center of Photography in New York.
In 1995, she made her first trip to India, producing a story on female infanticide.
In 1997, Briski returned to India and began her project on the prostitutes of Calcutta's red-light district, which led to her work with the children of prostitutes.
Her latest project" Reverence" is an experiential multimedia exhibit about transformation.
Inspired by dreams of a praying mantis, she was led around the world to collaborate with living insects, taking their portraits in photographs and film.
“ My work is a tribute to insects, to their intelligence, personality and elegant beauty, ” she says.
The project raised initial funds through the crowdsourcing site Kickstarter in 2010.
Briski has won numerous awards and fellowships including the Open Society Institute Fellowship, the Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship in 2000 to research and photograph in the Brothels of India, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, the Howard Chapnick Grant and 1st Prize in 1999 in the World Press Photo foundation competition in the category" Daily Life stories".
Briski and co-director Ross Kauffman were awarded grants from the Sundance Institute, the Jerome Foundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts for" Born into Brothels".
Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs
Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs( Italian:" Le spie vengono dal semifreddo", lit.
" The spies who came in from the cool") is a 1966 Eurospy comedy film, made in Technicolor and directed by Mario Bava.
Serving as a sequel to two unrelated films," Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" and" Two Mafiosi Against Goldginger", the film stars Vincent Price, Fabian, Francesco Mulé, Laura Antonelli, and the Italian comedy team Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia.
The film was shot in Italy by cinematographer Antonio Rinaldi, and released in both English and Italian versions.
The Italian release is markedly different from the English- language edition, with more screen time spent on the antics of Franco and Ciccio, and less on Vincent Price and the other cast members.
Additionally, the film's Italian title is entirely different, spoofing the 1965 film" The Spy Who Came in from the Cold".

Jean Guilloré, known professionally as John B. Root, is a French director and producer of pornographic films, born on November 28, 1958.
Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine
Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine is a 1965 American International Pictures comedy film, made in Pathécolor, directed by Norman Taurog.
It stars Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Susan Hart and Jack Mullaney, and features Fred Clark.
It is a parody of the then- popular spy film trend( the title is a spoof of two James Bond films: the 1962 film" Dr. No" and the 1964 hit" Goldfinger"), made using actors from AIP's beach party and Edgar Allan Poe films.
Despite its low production values, the film has achieved a certain cult status for the appearance of horror legend Vincent Price and AIP's Beach Party film alumni, its in- jokes and over- the- top sexuality, the claymation title sequence designed by Art Clokey, and a title song performed by The Supremes.
The movie was retitled" Dr G. and the Bikini Machine" in England: urban legend has it that this was because there were two doctors in the country called Doctor Goldfoot, but it was more likely due to a threatened lawsuit from Eon, holder of the rights to the James Bond movies.
The success of the film on its 1965 release led to a sequel, made the following year, entitled" Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs".
