Documentary
by Feel Good Production
Director TVS Credit Saksham is an initiative to empower school and college dropouts through vocational training programmes that teach basic skills across disciplines, paving the way to a brighter and more prosperous future. Saksham was initiated with a focus on rural and semi-urban India.
As a first step, before initiating a course in any location, we conduct need assessment survey amongst the communities with a specific focus on school and college dropouts. Based on the need assessment, we finalise on the courses to be conducted in that specific location, and the willingness of the communities to enrol. Currently, the initiative is live in the semi-urban areas of Bangalore, Nanded, Raipur and Indore. Vocational courses are conducted in Tally, Basic Computers, Tailoring, Beautician and Nursing.
Focus is laid not just on providing the courses, but also on ensuring meaningful and respectable job opportunities, thereby enhancing the self-confidence of the students and their families.

Aaj Rung De
(
Film (short)
by Arin Paul Productions
Concept, Script, Cinematography & Direction Aaj Rung De, is a succinct capture of a moment that many can relate to. Cinematic time is built through a series of brilliant images that pack a lot of feeling and meaning. One of the film’s striking features is juxtaposition of images. Semantic unity is achieved through non-diegetic music, namely, strains of a song by none other than the Sufi poet, musician and scholar - Amir Khusrow (1253-1325): “Aaj Rang Hai Ri Maa.” In Khusrow’s poem, the word, “rang” does not mean color, even at the literal level. It means “jubilation” and it is a song celebrating spiritual union with Nizamuddin Auliya. That is, the arrival of the sublime into life and art. Though not expressive of joy, rather somber in its mood, Aaj Rung De elicits peace that comes from acceptance of life. The unhurried brevity of screen time stands in contrast to the interminable, unendurable lengths of social time in which dreams remain unfinished, and sleep brings unwelcome wakefulness.

by Arin Paul Productions (Mystery and Short)
Concept, Script, Story & Direction Short filmmakers will agree that making a short film is tough as hardly any finance is available. And you try hard getting people onto the project and often what happens are last moment ditches which actually jeopardizes the entire schedule. Inspired by various dialogues of Shakespeare, also the film is an ode to him, my short film focuses on the above issue in the climax of the film. The ditches are actually the Brute moment of most of the filmmakers dealing projects in tight budgets.

Jyanto Durga (Durga Live)
(
Documentary
by ABP Digital (Documentary)
Concept & Direction Jyanto Durga (Durga Live) - Making of the Goddess - a different experience. Bengal, Bengalis and the environment surrounding it gets engulfed in a carnival for 5 days sometimes around end September to mid October. The life and soul of the population gets engaged in it in some form or other through participation in organizing the festival, through business activities and even through social and cultural activities. The activities and the intensity differ from the various segments of the society. There are people who put in all their efforts and resources to lay down their merchandise in front of their customers. These include the street dwellers, the garment sellers, the designers and boutique. The husband-wife, the young lovers, the youth, the old, almost every one appears on the streets of Kolkata, to experience the feeling, to be a part of the biggest carnival of Durgautsav. Goddess Durga brings hope and prosperity. Goddess Durga demands commitment. A stroll down Kumartuli, the primary place for manufacture of the idols is all you need to experience the focus and determination in the eyes of the idol makers. Making of the idol involves delicate hands, to pile on the processed mud in different layers and create the structure. Final panting happens in different stages to bring out the finished product as a work of art. Jyanto Durga (Durga Live) is the live experience of another group whose participation in this carnival involves their mind, body and soul. These performing artists live in remote villages. They are dependent on Durga Puja to make their two ends meet. Jyanto Durga (Durga Live) unveils - their journey in its truest form - straight from their mouth - unscripted & untutored. It shows in natural format how the making of Devi Durga unfolds in its idol form as well as in form of Jyanto Durga (Durga Live). It depicts the activities performed on human body for the formation of Goddess Durga, Mahishasur, The Lion, Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Saraswati, Lord Kartik and Lord Ganesha live idols - "Jyanto Durga". Jyanto Durga (Durga Live) is an experience of the Durgautsav through this diminishing form of performing art. It is a tribute to the thousands of such artists who have brought joy in-spite of the associated hardships.
