[Aaj-ke-naam] filmmakers initiative

[Yousuf]

Dear Friends,

Some of us got together recently in Delhi to discuss the possibility of responding to the current communal situation in the country as a community of film makers. In the meeting we decided to produce a body of work which would represent our protest/statement/comment on the times we are living in. We do not have the means to support these productions but we are hoping that each one of us will be able to generate resources and assistance to make these productions possible. We hope to put these productions together as a package which can then be screened all over the country. A detailed statement has been attached .

We would like to request all those connected with film making to offer their services/expertise/equipment to make it possible for these productions to take place. If you can let us know how you can contribute towards the production we will try and put you in touch with those in your cities who have agreed to make a video/film. 

We are specially interested in statements by new film makers and we will try to introduce them to camerapersons, sound recordists, editors who are associated with the project.

Kindly respond at the earliest possible. We have started an egroup called Aaj ke Naam through which we can interact and share our thoughts. The mails for this group can be sent to aaj-ke-naam at mail.sarai.net , and the archives/other information about the same can be had from the following site: http://mail.sarai.net/mailman/listinfo/aaj-ke-naam . Others from film/media background could also become members of this egroup by registering at the above site, or requesting us for the same.

In Solidarity,

Rahul Roy/Yousuf Saeed
