Hello all,
Welcome to this 2nd and last issue of 2011. As we bid farewell to this year, we can proudly say that good tidings are on for IDPA. In the last issue I had said we would share some good news with all of you very soon. Well here goes:
An MOU was signed with DD on 28th October 2011.
- We will have a slot initially for telecasting existing films and will be later converted to a commissioning slot.
- The duration of films will have to be between 22 ½ to 24 Minutes
- There will be a selection committee from IDPA side and a preview committee from Doordarshan side for the selection of the films.
- Filmmakers submitting their film/films will have to ensure that copyright /intellectual property rights are with them.
- The films/programmes will have to meet the technical standards and parameters of Doordarshan.
- Film makers will get approximately Rs1 and 1/2 Lakhs while IDPA will keep Rs 50,000 as process fee.
More details will be sent to you all shortly.

THE GENIUS OF THE LUIT - By Jahnu Barua
Every time I listen to any of Bhupen Hazarika’s songs, I feel sad that the Assamese language is understood by only 0.3 per cent of people in the entire world. I feel sad that appreciation of the true genius of the man is confined to a very small section of people, compared to the number by whom he actually deserved to be admired. For me, more than even to the people of Assam, Bhupenda’s demise is a loss to the rest of the world, which hardly got the opportunity to know and feel his unique genius. !

REMEMBERING PARTAP SHARMA - By Sandhya Divecha
The first time I saw Partap Sharma was on the silver screen, about forty odd years ago, playing the role of a dapper chivalrous young man in “Phir Bhi”, an early example of “new wave” cinema. I had no idea that I would meet him one day and we would eventually become colleagues and friends. For that matter, I then had no idea that I would be working in mass media.

 As every year, IDPA recognised the efforts of documentary, short and ad filmmakers with the Awards for Excellence 2010. We had called for entries in March 2011, with early bird deadlines set for March 15. An extended deadline to July 15 2011, ensured that many well deserving entries could make it to the competition.
The Awards function, held at the Kohinoor Emerald Hall, Prabhadevi, was well attended by participants and members, winners and their families.
The Award trophy, that was recently designed and stands for all that IDPA signifies, has been the cynosure of all eyes. |
