Jeebesh Bagchi made a presentation on old and new media constellations in Delhi. ii) LaTex Workshop: Sarai Interface Zone, Delhi, October 24, 2001 Sarai, in collaboration with Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University, held the first in a series of workshops on LaTex on 24th October 2001, at the Interface Zone. The participants learned the basics of the theory and practice of this wonderful free software programme, which is the traditionally preferred mode of writing science. LaTex's Devnag package is a Hindi writing device, which enables the user to include all the desired symbols, including nuqtas under unusual letters. Dr. Wagish Shukla (whose commentary on Ram kI Shakti Puja - written entirely on this package- has just been published) and Amitabh Trehan from the Mahatma Gandhi University conducted the workshops with inputs from KK Tripathi, Reetesh, Supeet and Pankaj and Joy. We plan to hold more such workshops. Those interested may write to ravikant at sarai.net iii) Wizards of OS 2: Open Cultures & Free Knowledge, October 11-13, 2001 http://www.buug.de/wos/frames/index.html, organized by mikro e.v, Berlin (http://mikro.org/) The second Wizard of Os conference held at the House of World Cultures, Berlin looked at the various constituents of an ‘open knowledge system’ for societies and the various issues that are connected to it. The debates and discussions at the conference reflected the ferment that has emerged within diverse areas like software production, bio-technology, library access, public broadcasting, internet standards and protocols, search engines and online archives, education and art practice around the conflict between the dominant ‘economies of control’ / ‘knowledge as commodity’ paradigms and the counter practices to create and expand the domain of ‘free knowledge’/ ‘open production’/ ‘digital commons’ etc. Monica Narula presented the OPUS project initiated by the Raqs Media Collective and being developed at the Sarai Media Lab. iv) Make World Festival, Munich, Germany, October 18 21, 2001 The first ‘Make World’ festival took place between 18th and 21st October, with the theme “border=Ø location=YES” in the Muffathalle, Munich, Germany. The festival, that brought together new media practitioners, activists and theorists to reflect on borders, immaterial labour and the state of the world today was unique in that it was the first major international new media related platform to offer concrete reflections in the wake of the events of September 11 and concurrent with the war in Afghanistan. The panels and the presentations reflected on new realities for global labour, and discussed strategies to effectively imagine a world without borders and barriers for working people, and the role that new media practices can play in helping to communicate and articulate this vision. The festival included an exhibition - “Everyone is an Expert” and also featured performances, lectures and activist workshops. A ‘ØYES’ broadsheet presented the major themes and concerns of the festival with an array of texts contributed by the participants. The festival also coincided with the launch of the ‘Volksbad Manifesto’ - which offered a perspective on the current world situation. For the text of the Volksbad Manifesto please see www.nettime.org Key speakers included Saskia Sassen, Ghassan Hage, Lev Manovich, Kodwo Eshun, Geert Lovink and Pit Schutz. Shuddhabrata Sengupta represented Sarai at the festival. Also present at the Festival was Prabhu Mahapatra, (Indian Association of Labour History) a labour historian and close associate of the Sarai initiative. Shuddhabrata spoke on the theme of 'Digital Commons' and presented the OPUS project initiated by the Raqs Media Collective and being developed at the Media Lab at Sarai. Prabhu Mahapatra made a presentation on identity, migration, mobility and labour in the old and new economies in the panel on 'Representations of Labour'.

There were fifteen participants who worked upon ways to render urban experience into bodies of online text through collaborative writing sessions, using basic html based writing techniques. “Writing the city was an exercise in viewing / writing the city through the hypertextual lens, in the sense of formal construction of text/z/.com, + in approach to the [p]/[m]uddle of urban data itself, + in sense of reinscrip[ac]tion.” A report on the workshop is available on the Compositions page of the Sarai website. Please go the url http://www.sarai.net/compositions/texts/works/writing_city.htm A Workshop list was started three weeks prior to the event, which laid the grounds for the workshop through online discussions and collaboration among the participants. The work that will come out from the discussions and collaborations resulting from this workshop will be published on the Sarai website in February. vi) Restless Days: Film Series organized By Sarai and Cine Club, St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi, October 17-19, 2001 Between the 17th and the 19th of October, Sarai and the Cine Club (St.Stephen's College) organized a film series titled ‘Restless Days’, dealing with the experiences of young people in different historical and cultural contexts. On the 17th, the Series started with the screening of War Games, a Hollywood anti-war film directed by John Badham, a movie using the idiom of popular Hollywood adventure cinema to illustrate the grim and very real possibilities of accidental nuclear conflict. This was followed by Jean-Luc Godard's La Chinoise, made in 1967, which dealt with the ferment of left-wing radical ideology and practice among students in Paris, a film remarkable because it was actually made a year before the events of May 1968. On the 18th, two films both by Francois Truffaut were screened. The first, a short 17-minute film titled Les Mistons (The Kids) depicted the beginnings of sexual consciousness among a group of pre-adolescent boys. The second, Les Quatre Cent Coups (The 400 Blows), made in 1959, was about the alienation of a schoolboy from his social environment and his slide into delinquency. Finally, on the 19th, we showed the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Trainspottin’(1995), a morbid, darkly funny look at drug addiction, followed by what many considered the high point of the series, Mathieu Kasovitz's Hate (1995), a grim and deeply disturbing film about the alienated, violent subcultures of contemporary Parisian youth. 3.

Films at Sarai Focus on the Documentary As part of Sarai's commitment to providing forums for a media culture that actively seeks to generate critical discussion on the institutions and practices of film making, we inaugurate a special focus on the documentary film. Filmmakers will introduce their films, focusing on issues such as funding, institutional constraints and possibilities, film technologies and techniques, narrative structures and formal strategies, and the broader questions of the politics and ethics of documentary filmmaking. Each screening will be followed by a public discussion in the Sarai café. All films will be screened at the Seminar Room Sarai/CSDS, 29 Rajpur Road Delhi 54. Friday, 2 November 2001, 430pm House of Memory Directed by Christopher Mitchell Video; 79 min; 2001 House of Memory is a feature-length documentary about the Lebanese civil war. The film focuses on living through the civil war in Lebanon and what happens when war ends and people struggle to rebuild their shattered lives. The film uses the Barakat building as a metaphor for Lebanon's gracious past, its troubled present and its uncertain future. Christopher Mitchell is a writer, producer and director of documentaries. He is currently Head of Documentary at the production company ORTV. As a Director he has made documentaries for BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4, for such series as Inside Story, Panorama, Omnibus, and Dispatches, in the fields of culture, history, politics and current affairs. Mr. Mitchell will be present to introduce and discuss House of Memory. Yasmeen Arif, who has been working on the reconstruction of Beirut for her doctoral dissertation at the Delhi School of Economics, will initiate a discussion of the film. Thursday, November 15, 2001 4:30 pm Delhi Diary 2001 Directed by Ranjani Mazumdar Betacam SP, 60 minutes Delhi Diary 2001 is about the residue of urban memory linked to two crucial events in the history of Delhi. The events are the state of National Emergency (1975-77) when all civil rights were suspended and the anti Sikh pogroms of 1984 following the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Instead of focusing on the 'facts' of the two events, the film moves from the immediacy of the events to the rhythms of daily life in the city to explore fragments of memory embedded beneath the spectacle of the contemporary city. Camera: Sabeena Gadihoke, Syed Nooh Nizami Editing: Vinod Kaul Sound: Surinder Prasad Friday, November 16, 2001, 4:30 pm Jari Mari : Of Cloth and Other Stories Directed by: Surabhi Sharma Mini DV, 75 minutes Modern Mumbai was built on the economic foundations laid by its textile mills. Of late the city, or so it seems, is being almost seamlessly transformed from a manufacturing centre to being a significant node for finance capital, driven by the service economy. The closure of textile mills and the conversion of their real estate into palatial high-rises or luxurious offices, we are told, herald the birth of the new global-city. This film seeks to interrogate this public profile of contemporary Mumbai by listening to the experiences of an almost invisible but crucial and expansive labour force. Camera: Setu Pande Audiography: Gissy Michael Editor: Jabeen Merchant Sound Design: D Wood, Vipin Bhati Thursday, November 22, 2001, 4:30 pm When Four Friends Meet Directed by Rahul Roy Dvcam, 43 minutes When four friends meet they share with the camera their secrets, sex and girls; youthful dreams and failures; frustrations and triumphs. Bunty, Kamal, Sanjay and Sanju, best of friends and residents of Jehangirpuri, a working class colony on the outskirts of Delhi are young and trying to make their lives in an environment which is changing rapidly girls seem to be very bold stable jobs are not easy to come by sex is a strange mix of guilt and pleasure families are claustrophobic and the blur of television the only sounding board Editor: Reena Mohan Sound: Asheesh Pandiya Script: Saba Dewan/Rahul Roy Camera: Rahul Roy Friday, 23 November 2001, 4:30 pm My Friend Su Directed by Neeraj Bhasin Duration: 55minutes My Friend Su is an anecdote about two friends, one of them is transsexual and he strongly feels like a female from the inside, while on the outside he is a normal male. `This film is about a relationship which we had built over the period of shooting. One of the reasons of having comfortable relationship with the protagonist was the absence of big cameras, heavy lights and all the other technical jargons of conventional shoots. On our shoot we were blessed with digital format, which gave us enough freedom to work without our pre-psychological pressures of camera fear, unnecessary permissions and above all the fear of budget' A Cinema of Anxiety As part of our continuing focus on a cinema of anxiety, Sarai will screen Clouzot's Wages of Fear, earlier scheduled for October 26. Friday, 9 November 2001, 430pm The Wages of Fear Director: Henri Georges Clouzot France, 1953, 145 minutes Saumya Gupta Coordinator, Research and Programmes Sarai: The New Media Initiative Centre for the Study of Developing Societies 29 Rajpur Road, Delhi - 110054 Phone: 3960040, 3951190 Fax: 2943450 www.sarai.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The contemporary urban action film highlights the paradoxical combination of fear and fascination in a particularly vivid form. What is perhaps striking is the international resonance of the contemporary. We have a checkered lineage here, stretching back to Kurosawa's samurai films of the 1950s, the Hongkong kungfu film of auteurs such as King Hu, the generic distention and excesses of Leone in Italy, and the visceral US cinema stemming from Peckinpah and Arthur Penn. In the contemporary era, films such as Matthieu Kassovitz's Hate, Luc Besson's Leon the Assassin, Scorsese's Goodfellas, John Woo's The Killer, Innurita's Amores Perros, David Fincher's The Fight Club and Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine operate with a new sense of exhilaration with the capacity of film techniques to immerse the spectator in the tactility of the image, in cinematic movement and rhythm, colour and density. The spectator is immersed in the headlong movement of the body as it acquires speed, is fragmented by short shots, threatens and is threatened with disintegration. The fascination, however, is not merely with speed and movement, but also with a sense of the uncanny, the ornate revelation of spaces, of interiorities and of shocking moments that threaten our grasp on moral coordinates and mechanisms of identification and empathy. The exhilaration here is not only with the technical capacities and their braiding into a wondrous formal organization of materials, but also with the very process of enhanced perception, new forms of knowledge, and the threat these carry with them. Here we may think also about the radical effects brought about by abrupt subversion of generic expectation, and the particular ways in which narrative form is reorganized to invite a different kind of spectatorial attention and investment. This workshop aims to address some of these issues of transformation in the context of the Bombay film of urban action and revenge. Arguably, from the late 1980s, in the work of directors such as N. Chandra, J. P. Dutta, Mukul Sharma, Priyadarshan, Ramgopal Verma, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Raj Kumar Santoshi, there emerged a type of engagement with film form and narrative strategy that marked out a special departure from earlier narrative traditions. This work was marked by an investment in the sensorium of cinematic effects quite independent of, if not displacing, regimes of dialogue, melodramatic relationships and affective ties, suggesting a new universe of cinematic allure. Simultaneously, there emerged new performative dimensions, noticeable in the emergence of a Nana Patekar, the early Shahrukh Khan, Sunny Deol, Manoj Bajpai and the transformation of actors such as Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor, Dharmendra and Aamir Khan. One of our concerns would be how to define these distinctions in more specific ways, say in the history of narrative form and genre, film technology and techniques, industrial organization and audience address. However, at the same time we would like very strongly to address the linkages between this new sensory organization in the cinema with transformations in the referent and in the contexts these films emerged from. Does the global impinge on the universe of cinematic reference in new ways? What status does this dynamic have in the constitution of place and space, of specific location and a more abstracted and metaphorical positioning for the spectator? We would be particularly interested to look at the relationship between the urban sensorium and the cinematic sensorium, and the broader regime of shock and sensation retailed in the repertoire of journalistic reportage in the press and on television. We could also consider how to place the cinema in transformations of urban experience: of visual and auditory environments, of anonymity and the crowd, of state terror, marginality and secrecy, and also of the contorted intertwining of urban emancipation and community and inter-community formation in the circumstances of duress and cruelty. Apart from questions of departure and distinction, there is also an issue here of the persistence of narrative form, the way in which issues of romance and familial ties, of melodrama and regimes of affect, continue to structure the terms of filmic discourse, but perhaps in different ways. While only four films are being screened, the focus will be much broader, inviting reflection on a variety of film traditions, and on films from other Indian film industries. Participants are also invited to screen video-clips.
