 The Oscar Dream of 1200 millions… The Countdown Begins….

With less than 24hrs remaining for the declaration of the 84th Academy Awards final nominations at Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Hollywood by 5:30 a.m. PT (Pacific Time), the entire nation impatiently awaits the announcement. ‘DAM999’ has already re-written the history of this largest film making country in the world by being qualified for the Oscars in five categories – Best Movie, Original Score and Original Song. The added advantage the movie enjoys is that of the 39 songs selected for the Original Song Category, three are credited to ‘DAM999’. It is an achievement for the movie directed by UAE based Indian film maker Sohan Roy. The “Made in India” movie has made it to the Oscars not through Foreign Movie Category, but as a contender against Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Thor, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol etc to name a few among the other nominees for this year’s Oscar run.

With more than 3 BILLION tickets sold per year, the film Industry in India is more than double that of US and Canada put together. The Indian film industry accommodates the largest film crew compared to any film industry around the world, even the biggest film studio (Ramoji Film City) is credited to India. Yet the Indian film industry is far behind the Hollywood standards by 3-4 decades to get a direct Oscar entry. But through ‘DAM999’ Sohan Roy has proved that the main doors of the Academy are open for the Indians too and they don’t need to enter there under the shadow of someone from Hollywood. This is a revolution… It’s recognition for the Indian Music and Film making with the Music, Sound Design and Cinematography receiving honor from the best in the film industry.

It’s true that India didn’t come up with project like ‘Titanic’ or ‘Avatar’ but through ‘DAM999’ they have proved that special effects including water graphics and 3D conversion can be done in India with the quality required for Oscar recognition. It is now possible for India to present a Visual effects spectacle like ‘2012’. This is just a beginning. It’s no longer a time to dream – It’s now time to make the dreams come true!

“As a jury member a had very fond memories of the featival, Even the quality of films churned out by amateur film makers / directors such as students or those coming from non- film industry background is very exciting. The technique used by one film maker/ story teller inadvertently varies with that used by another and this is what is the surprising element that one comes across fests such as IDFF.

To facilitate this process and help the participants bring their imagination into life, the organizers will provide all the logistical support to them.
“Film in six days’ competition will select six to ten teams (consist of Director, Dop and Editor) on the basis of their past experience and interviews. The selected candidates will be given a topic by the festival organizers to make a film within six days. These films then will be reviewed by a jury comprising senior people from film fraternity who will select winner will be rewarded with prize money/editing software/equipment.
According to Madhureeta Anand, Festival Director, UFO 0110 IDFF and Film Director & Founder of Ekaa Films, “The six day competition is an integral and important part of the UFO 0110 International digital Film Festival. It’s our way of seeing that budding filmmakers get a chance to make films that on the one hand can be a showcase of their work and on the other hand can be learning experience. This is why the chosen teams will have access to well known and regarded people from the film industry who can advise and guide them. It’s a unique opportunity. For us at the film festival it’s our way of planting seeds. We hope that these very filmmakers will, in the future, send in films to the festival and add to the viewing experience and quality of the festival.”
Mr. Sudhir Mishra, Jury member of the last IDFF, a renowned and critically acclaimed Bollywood director, says,“Digital format of film making is an amazing format that gives you the freedom to shoot things, make a movie, put forth your viewpoint about an issue/agenda etc while overcoming the constraints of inadequate funding or networking etc. It is a wonderful medium for independent voices and certainly more and more people are now open to the idea of digital film making.”
“As a jury member a had very fond memories of the featival, Even the quality of films churned out by amateur film makers / directors such as students or those coming from non- film industry background is very exciting. The technique used by one film maker/ story teller inadvertently varies with that used by another and this is what is the surprising element that one comes across fests such as IDFF. Festival like IDFF should be promoted so that maximum talent can be discovered” Mr.Sudhir, added.
The participants will be provided the complete support from the festival such as required equipments for the shoot which will include the camera, sound equipments and post production facilities of an editing machine and studio, moreover they will be facilitated with the basic budget for travel and food for the two days. There will also be script consultants and consulting editors to help out the filmmakers during the competition.

Message from Bobby Bose

“Being a FILM EDITOR , I believe Indian film and TV industry’s need for authentic film editors is increasing every day. So the number of students I am giving to the industry from my existing branches in Mumbai, Kolkata, etc. is not enough that is why the plan of increasing more branches is laid. Probably by 2012 end, NEIINDIA will have at least 5 more branches in different part of the country.I does not believe in giving franchisee rather I insists on coming out with my own branches so that the quality of training is maintained everywhere. I want to see NEIINDIA to go international by 2015. I am planning to have few branches in Middle East.

Film editing is a must skill if anyone wants to be in the film and TV industry. Film editors always have better clarity about the film making subject. Apart from training, film editor, I am also planning to produce and direct films. After almost 20 years in the industry, I feels that I can take the vital step towards direction now. The film which I am planning to produce is a satire “Good for Nothing” I am working on the script. “

In a short span of time, UFO Moviez has successfully introduced satellite-delivered digital cinema in this region, which faces significant geographical and topographical challenges and where local language cinema was on the verge of dying down. First day first shows of films across the region enabled by UFO Moviez’ satellite-delivered digital cinema solutions have stimulated a sea of change in the cinema theatre business in Assam, particularly amongst the single theatre owners, who were facing survival issues.

Bhaskarjyoti Cinema Hall in Sivasagar district of Assam was closed for almost ten years, until UFO Moviez installed its digital cinema system in the theatre in May 2010. Now, after complete renovations, it is widely acknowledged as the best theatre in the region and enjoys regular houseful screenings of new Assamese and Hindi films.

The Assam circuit, previously allotted low priority in the distribution chain, had barely ten theatres that screened new Assamese and Hindi films. As a result of the delay in the delivery of physical film prints to the region, these theatres were often forced to screen films as late as two months after their all India release. All of this changed, when in April 2007, the first UFO digital cinema system was installed in Assam. Anuradha Cinema in Guwahati, the second theatre in the region to install UFO’s projection system on its premises in April 2007, is now a premiere theatre in Assam and boasts a best in class projection system that offers superior picture quality and brightness and UFO’s 3D system. Theatre owner Chinmoy Sharma says, “UFO Moviez’ digital cinema systems ensure that audiences throughout Assam are able to enjoy high quality first-day-first-show screenings of films, unhampered by weather conditions, terrain or any other technical snags or delays.”

Mr. Arun Mehra of Aum Moviez (the largest distributors of films in the Eastern Circuit) says, “Increasing box office revenues have transformed Assam into a major territory for Indian films in the Eastern region. Most of the theatres in Assam now have improved sound systems to match UFO’s digital picture quality. Thanks to increasing revenues from ticket sales, all major theatres have been refurbished with pushback seats and new food courts. It’s an added bonus for film-goers in Assam, who are today willing to pay for the quality and value proposition that are a part of UFO’s digital cinema installations.” Adds Mr. Shankar Lal Goenka, Proprietor, Goenka Enterprises (a major film distributor based in Assam and winner of the Dada Saheb Phalke Academy Award for his services to the Indian film industry) says, “The box office in Assam has expanded thanks to first-day-first-show screenings made possible by UFO Moviez.”

Theatres like Smriti Gopal Cinema (only running theatre in Jorhat region) and Sarma Talkies (only one in Pathsala town), which were about to close down due to losses, have become active and vibrant again, thanks to UFO Moviez’ pioneering solutions. Post installations of UFO’s digital infrastructure, these theatres have undergone a complete renovation of the premises and now operate profitably. The Gold Digital Cinema chain is now present in the region and has recently opened a new theatre in Shillong, Meghalaya.

Assamese language cinema has also benefited immensely. Earlier, the average number of Assamese film releases per year was about one or two at the most. In 2011, there have been six Assamese film releases so far. In 2012, around seven Assamese language films are expected to be released. This growth is almost entirely due to the fact that there are now a much larger number of theatres that an Assamese film can reach in the first week of its release. For example, romantic Assamese drama film ‘Raamdhenu’ was released in 24 cinema halls across Assam early this year. The film screened to houseful audiences for two weeks in almost all these theatres and completed 25 weeks of screening to appreciative audiences. Producers of the film at Pride East Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. stated, “We are delighted at the success of Raamdhenu and we hope that we will set the success ball rolling for the Assamese film industry. We share this success with UFO Moviez; their digital cinema technology platform and their support has made it possible to provide good content to our audiences on time and showcase the best quality in cinema.”

The growth of cinema in the region is not limited to Assamese language films alone. Refurbished theatres, enthusiastic audiences and a growing appetite for cinema has meant that even Bengali and Bhojpuri films now play to packed audiences in Assam. For example, Bengali film ‘Romeo’ recently released in 16 UFO theatres in Assam. Hindi films too now enjoy larger audiences in the region. Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘RA-One’, for example, was released in 49 theatres in Assam in its first week. ‘Ready’ and ‘Singham’ released in over 41 UFO digital screens across Assam. Dabangg ran houseful for almost a week in all the theatres in Assam. The ‘big picture’ in Assam is only going to get bigger and better!
