Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!

My chat with Shivendra Singh Dungarpur about film preservation and film restoration.

We chatted about preservation and how restoration also entails keeping the filmmaker’s original intent intact.

We also spoke about Muzaffar Ali’s Zoonie; the recent restoration of Kubrick’s masterpiece, 2001: A space Odyssey; the first Bengali silent film, Bilwamangal; and Peter Jackson’s They Shall Not Grow Old.

Dungarpur also touched on his unfinished film, Ittefaq. For which he had assembled an enviable crew, comprising Rahman, Gulzar, Sriram Raghavan, Karan Bali and Sharmishta Roy.

And.. of course, I asked him about the wonderful documentary, Celluloid Man.

Episode 5: Apurva Asrani Part 2

Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!

Storytelling (on film) occurs in three stages: on paper (writing), on sets (direction) and in the editing room.
Apurva Asrani has had the experience of wearing all three hats. He’s been an integral part of some of the finest Hindi films in the last 20 years.

Spoke with Asrani about his experiences working with RGV, Kalpana Lajmi, Hansal Mehta and Nagesh Kukunoor; his role in persuading RGV to switch from Steenbeck to Avid; the personally cathartic experience of writing ALIGARH; Indian queer cinema; and struggles of gay men in India.

Asrani was articulate and insightful with his responses, and bared his soul on several issues he holds close to his heart. I greatly appreciated that. I think you’ll too.

Part 2 of my conversation with Apurva Asrani.
