Abhijit Mazumdar’s Yeti will screen at 32nd Torino FIlm Festival
Abhijit Mazumdar’s Yeti has been selected for the 32nd Torino Film Festival in Italy which runs from November 21-29, 2014.
Yeti will screen in the Onde (Waves) section of the festival, which is a non competitive showcase of experimental films.
Yeti is about a film crew which is shooting a movie in Mumbai: work is slowed down by tensions in the group, reality slowly filters into the shot footage, fiction does the same off the set, and the images contain inextricable truths. The festival calls Yeti “a disturbing and at times surprising theorem of cinematography and cinephiles, suspended between Blow-Up, The Conversation and, above all, the cinema of Tsai Ming-liang.”
The 61 minutes 52 seconds long Yeti will be screened on November 25.

A still from “Under the Pillow”
The 34th edition of the Durban International Film Festival will screen the festival favourite films from India: Ashim Ahluwalia’s Miss Lovely, Amit Kumar’s Monsoon Shootout, Mira Nair’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Deepa Mehta’s Midnight’s Children.
Besides, two Indian documentaries are part of the official selection. Algorithm by Ian McDonald ventures into the lives of three blind chess players who challenge far more than their opponents, but further, stand as a challenge to the ocular-centric world, as we witness their blindness emerging as a difference rather than a disability.

Still from Vanishing Point
Abhijit Mazumdar’s short film Vanishing Point will have its Irish premiere at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival on February 22.
Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur I and II will also screen at the festival on February 16 and 17, respectively. All three films will be screened under the Spectrum section of the festival (February 14-24, 2013).
Vanishing Point trails “two filmmaker’s journey into the Indian wilderness scouting for a location, specifically for a bus stop with a specific look. Aurko, a writer and director, is perpetually high, a way of working that doesn’t sit well with Sachin, his cinematographer. As the road trip progresses, Sachin becomes more and more irritated by Aurko’s smoking. While this is happening, Aurko is convinced he can see the ghost of an old man at different places along their journey, an eccentricity too far for Sachin,” reads the film...

Both parts of the film will be screened on February 23 and 24.
Vanishing Point, a short film by Abhijit Mazumdar will compete in Adrift: International Competition section of the Glasgow Short Film Festival. The film tells the story of a location scouting trip that falls into disarray.

Still from Vanishing Point
Abhijit Mazumdar’s Vanishing Point has been selected for International Competition section of Glasgow Short Film Festival 2013. The 13 selected shorts will contend for the Bill Douglas Award for International Short Film.
“Two characters are walking on screen. One in slow motion and the other in fast motion. Can they ever walk in synch? Perhaps they can…at the vanishing point. Where parallels converge and the impossible happens. This film tries to explore the absurdities of human connects and disconnects. Within and without,” reads the description of the film on its Facebook page.
The 40-minute short film was recently screened in the Non Feature section of the Indian Panorama at International Film Festival of India (Iffi) 2012.
The 6th Glasgow Short Film Festival will run from 7th to 10th February, 2013. It is held under the umbrella Glasgow Film Festival which also organizes Youth Film Festival and Frightfest.

“My film (Char : The No-Man’s Island) is being shown in Japan and other international film festivals, but it has no takers in India,” said director Sourav Sarangi, demanding special theaters in the country to screen ‘offbeat’ films, at a press conference during the ‘Meet the Directors – Indian Feature and Non-feature films’ section at 43rd International Film Festival of India in Goa.
Young Indian film makers of the New Wave Cinema asserted that there “are dedicated viewers for their films but in the absence of a proper distribution mechanism the films are not being released in multiplexes.”
The director of Anhey Ghorhey Da Daan Gurvinder Singh, Abhijit Mazumdar of Vanishing Point and Unni Vijayan of Lessons in Forgetting were also present.
