Mining data completely messed up: CM

After being ticked off by the Supreme Court-appointed Centrally Empowered Committee over “erroneous and incomplete data” on mining, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has sought to deflect the blame on erstwhile Congress regime for the “mess-up”.

“The former government had miserably failed to maintain the records, including the number of operational mining leases, exports and productions. This mess is inherited by my government which is now working overtime to put in place all the records,” Parrikar told PTI.

In a strong-worded letter to the state chief secretary, the Centrally Empowered Committee, which is inquiring illegal mining in Goa, had complained about “erroneous and incomplete data”.

Justice M B Shah Commission also investigating into the illegalities had expressed similar complaint in the past.

Clearing the air on the issue, Parrikar said, “A total of 130 mining leases were operational in the state for last five years. There is no proper record of all these mines. The mines department was also unaware about 400-odd traders who were involved in the business”.

He said the state Mines and Geology department, which saw some tainted officers being sacked, went through a tough time as it had to reconstruct all the details.

“Now since the matter is in the SC, we have time to clear this mess and get things in place before mining resumes,” the Chief Minister said.

On resumption of mining activity which has been halted for over last two months post the Supreme Court order, Parrikar said the state government was awaiting directions from the apex court.

Goa is the country’s largest exporter of iron ore with 43 million metric tonnes of ore shipped abroad during last financial yea

Working with Mira was a dream come true: Shimit

“Chak De” director Shimit Amin says working with Mira Nair as an editor on her much anticipated movie ” The Reluctant Fundamentalist” was a dream come true and an honour.

 

Shimit, who started his career as an editor with the movie “Bhoot” in 2003, has also directed films like “Ab Tak Chhappan” and “Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year”.

“It is an honour to work with Mira. She is a wonderful director and I always wanted to work with her. I was flattered when she offered me to do the movie and felt it was the right moment to take up the project,” Amin said on the sidelines of a film festival.

The movie is based on the novel by the same name by Mohsin Hamid and stars Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, Kiefer Sutherland, Om Puri and Shabana Azmi.

Amin says editing the movie was a long and complicated process and took a year to complete.

“The movie is so global and shot in so many places like Lahore, Istanbul, Delhi, America that editing the film was a complex procedure. It took a year to complete the editing,” said Amin.

The film is being screened at the closing of IFFI in its Asian premiere after touring festivals in London, Toronto, Doha and Venice. It will be released world wide on April 26.

Focus on history, not violence: Sathyu

Veteran filmmaker MS Sathyu feels that filmmakers today lack interest in showing historical events through cinema as they are more focused on serving violent movies to the audience.

The 82-year-old filmmaker, known for his Partition classic “Garm Hava”, feels that the human touch from the movies is missing now.

“A lot of films are made today where violence has become important. You find examples ranging from ‘Agneepath’ to ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’. Many a time, the violence on screen is meaningless and glorified. The human touch goes missing. Youngsters need to see that a very different kind of cinema can exist too,” he said on the sideline of the 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

Sathyu, who is all geared up for the theatrical release of a new restored version of ‘Garm Hava’ next year, said the young audience needs to know about the country’s history.

“You may wonder why a film made in 1973 should be restored today. Perhaps after the partition of the country, there is a lack of interest in filmmakers to use any of the historical events that take place and bring it to focus in cinema. We are not even aware of the recent happenings and do not even use them in our cinema. But ‘Garam Hava’ became a cult and gave inspiration to other people who also made films on the partition,” he said.

Sathyu said that his film ‘Garm Hava’, considered one of the most authentic films on Partition, has been restored with work done on 2.5 lakh frames, while the mono sound has been converted to Dolby Digital 5.1 stereo surround sound in the US.

The film is slated to release on January 18, 2013. A special screening of the classic was greeted with standing ovation at the festival.

“We shot with one camera, one lens and just six lights. My wife did the costumes and we shot entirely in Agra. The town is so noisy that we had to dub the whole film in RK Studio on returning to Mumbai. But now the movie is a whole new one with advanced technology,” he said.

Members of the delegation from Turkey who have come down here for the Hotels close to Beale Street Memphis TN International Film Festival of India are quite impressed with Bollywood movies and even the audience here.

“The expressions and feelings in Bollywood films are so much personal. Somehow Bollywood knows the best formula. We need to learn from Bollywood,” Turkish film director Huseyin Karabey said.

Karabey’s ‘Donot Forget Me Istanbul’ is one of the films being screened at the festival, which has Turkey as a country focus.

Turkish actress Aysun Gizem Saysaldi said that the best part of Bollywood is that all the actors and actresses can act and dance.

“In European countries, not all actors and actress can act and dance,” she said adding she would like to work in a Bollywood movie if she gets a chance.

“Of course, I would like to act in Bollywood films. Audience in India is intelligent. I would like to come here again and work. It would be good for me,” she said, responding to a query.

Youngs demands parallel distribution system

Film directors Sourav Sarangi, Unni Vijayan & Gurvinder Singh at IFFI 2012

Trying hard to create a space for themselves in the industry, independent filmmakers like Gurvinder Singh and Sourav Sarangi say their biggest problem is finding distributors for their movies.

 

Singh, who’s debut feature film “Anhe Ghore Da Daan” went on to win National Awards for Best Direction, Cinematography and Best Feature Film, says his movie was hardly publicised and given screens to be shown.

“We are in desperate need to have a parallel distribution system. Multiplexes don’t want to show our films today. When my movie was shown by PVR in Mumbai, Delhi and Punjab the tickets were priced at Rs 900, 400 – I was shocked.

“In Mumbai my movie was only shown for five days when the hall was 80-90 per cent booked. They removed it because next day ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ was releasing and they wanted all the screens.

“This is an exciting phase for independent cinema in India and I feel that there should be chains of theatres to show non-commercial and art house films because the audience for such movies does exist,” Singh said on the sidelines of the 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.

Independent Bengali filmmaker Sourav Sarangi, whose film “CHAR: the No-Man’s Island” is being screened at the Indian Panorama section here, says the Bollywood impact on the silver screen makes it difficult for art house and documentary films to survive.

 

 

Lost friends meet in filmy style at IFFI

Even as cinema buffs are busy catching up with Brazilian Hair Extensions in Memphis movies at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, two ‘serenading’ friends here are re-bonding over music, which united them over a decade ago before they parted ways for a better livelihood.

 

Musicians George Cartt and Joao Zinto went their separate ways 13 years back for a living. Now they have come together again for the sake of music at a IFFI stall.

“I went to Dubai to earn my livelihood. Fifteen years after working there, I came back to Goa this year and found Cartt again. We are now back playing music together,” said Zinto, who is his late 50s.

“We had no friendship initially. It was necessity that brought us together then. Our bonding became strong and when he left for Dubai, we became thick friends,” Cartt, who continued pursuing music all these years in Zinto’s absence, explained.

Musicians George Cartt and Joao Zinto went their separate ways 13 years back for a living.

The duo watch no movies at the festival although they serenade the guests every day for three hours. Zinto is on the Goan percussion instrument ‘Ghumat’ with a ‘mouth organ’ mounted on his chest. He plays both theinstruments together.

Cartt is on the guitar singing Konkani songs of the yesteryears which inspired many musicians in the Hindi film industry. Among the musical scores that they play comprise some of the best compositions by Minguel Rod, M Boyer and Chris Perry, all legendary names in Konkani music.

Cartt, hailing from Loutolim village is a neighbour of Emiliano D Cruz, a well-known serenading artist who has even played for former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during the CHOGM (Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting) in India.

“Most of the times people ask us what is the meaning of song that we play. We have to construct the story and explain it to them,” he said.

Lifting mining ban impossible till Jan

It is now almost clear that the BAN on mining activity will NOT be lifted till January.

 

The Centrally Empowered Committee is also planning to recommend to the Supreme Court to put a CAPPING on extraction of iron ore.

At least 19 mines functioning in and around the wild life sanctuaries are DEFINITELY going to close down.

Things are getting much clear after the CEC had a joint meeting in Delhi with the mine owners and the government officials on Thursday.

The CEC will finally submit its report to the Supreme Court on 28th November. The Supreme Court hearing is being scheduled on 30th November.

The mine owners as well as the central and state government are told to file their submissions by Monday, that is 26th November.

This is the third time the CEC has rejected the report filed by Government of Goa.

The first and foremost requirement to restart the mining activity in Goa is LIFTING of the ban imposed by the Ministry of Environment and Forest.

To begin this process, the ministry has planned personal hearings of the mining lease holders from mid-December. Until then, there is no question of starting any mine in Goa.

The ministry as well as the National Board of Wild Life has also taken a firm decision not to start any mine in the wild life sanctuary or one kilometer around it.

There are 19 such mines. It is almost clear that these mines would NEVER start.

After personally visiting Goa’s mines, meeting the stakeholders and the government officials, the CEC has raised almost 28 issues related to illegalities in mining.

Some of these major issues are Mines functioning within one kilometer, mines within 10 kilometers, excessive extraction of iron ore, mining done below water table, mining in other person’s leases and many such issues.

Based on Shah Commission report and the verification by the CEC, the committee would submit its recommendations to the Supreme Court.

Reports reaching from the national capital indicate that the Centrally Empowered Committee has made it very clear to the mine owners as well as the central and state government that it would put a CAPPING on the amount of ore to be extracted.

The final decision in this regard would obviously be taken by the Supreme Court. But it appears that the same conditions applied to mines in Bellary in Karnataka would also be applied to Goa.

In that case, mining may start, but at a very very low pace than what it was before.

Noted filmmaker Anurag Basu has said that “while cinema industry of the entire world is wary of Hollywood, we (Indian cinema) are not scared of the it.”

 

“We stand tall while most of the film industries all over world have suffered because of Hollywood. But we are not scared,” Basu said, while inaugurating the special package to celebrate centenary year of Indian cinema at the IFFI 2012 here yesterday.

Basu, who has directed films like Barfi!, Life in a Metro and Murder, said he is not wary of releasing his films clashing with the Hollywood ones.

“I am not scared to release my film along with movies like Spiderman or a Tom Cruise flick,” he said.

The director claimed that “soon Hollywood will have to see our release calender before releasing their movie.”

Basu, who was the chief guest for the event, termed himself “a small part of this lovely journey of the Indian cinema.”

During the inauguration of the centenary package at IFFI, an onstage dialogue between Dada Saheb Phalke and his wife Saraswati, unravelling his passion that pioneered silent black and white cinema in India, was performed by actors Lillette Dubey and Mohammad Ali Baig.

Veteran filmmaker M S Sathyu had designed the set for the onstage dialogue, written by Sharayu Phalke Saummanwar, the grand niece of Dada Saheb Phalke.
