This New Year 2024 Lamakaan dives deep into the retrospective films of master directors.

While we celebrate the New Year with fervor and gaiety, let's celebrate the cinema of Hollywood's most elegant film director, Ernst Lubtisch's films.

Ernst Lubitsch (/ˈluːbɪtʃ/; January 29, 1892 – November 30, 1947) was a German-born film director, producer, writer, and actor. His urbane comedies of manners gave him the reputation of being Hollywood's most elegant and sophisticated director; as his prestige grew, his films were promoted as having "the Lubitsch touch". Among his best known works are Trouble in Paradise (1932), Design for Living (1933), Ninotchka (1939), The Shop Around the Corner (1940), To Be or Not to Be (1942) and Heaven Can Wait (1943).

He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director three times for The Patriot (1928), The Love Parade (1929), and Heaven Can Wait (1943). In 1946, he received an Honorary Academy Award for his distinguished contributions to the art of the motion picture.

Description-

Kissago presents 2 short plays.
1. Honeymoon Hungama - A Telugu short play
Synopsis:
Newlyweds Manu and Krishna embark on their dream honeymoon, booking a supposedly luxurious hotel. However, their romantic escapade takes an unexpected turn when every attempt to get close is hilariously thwarted by a parade of eccentric hotel staff and peculiar guests.
2. Hawalat

"Hawalalat" Written By Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena, revolves around the story of three youth who have no place since nobody was ready to offer them the shelter and they thought it proper to have the same in a police lock-up. For this they approached a police cop as criminals. In the beginning the cop is not ready to believe in them and asks them to establish their credentials by demonstrating their expertise and past accomplishments in the word of crime.

Lamakaan invites you to an intriguing Book Discussion with the Author.

H-Pop: The Secretive World of Hindutva Pop Stars by Kunal Purohit.

Can a song trigger a murder?
Can a poem spark a riot?
Can a book divide people?

Away from the gaze of mainstream urban media, across India's dusty, sleepy towns, a brand of popular culture is quietly seizing the imagination of millions on the internet and off it. From catchy
songs with acerbic lyrics to poetry recited in kavi sammelans to social media influencers shaping opinions with their brand of ‘breaking news’ to books rescripting historical events, ‘Hindutva Pop’ or H-Pop is steadily creating societal acceptability for Hindutva’s core beliefs. By cleverly inserting Hindutva into popular culture, H-Pop normalizes Islamophobia, demonizes minorities, and vilifies its critics each day without ever making headlines.

What makes H-pop so popular? Who are its stars and its audience? Who is pouring in the money, the effort and the resources to produce and broadcast it? What is its impact on the BJP and Prime
Minister Modi’s popularity? And what kind of an India is it trying to create?

These are some questions that award-winning independent journalist Kunal Purohit explores in this riveting investigative book as he travels through India, profiling some of H-Pop’s most prolific
and popular creators—its stars and celebrities. He interrogates whether the creators are driven by ideology or commerce and what motivates the audience to consume their daily dose of bigotry. In
doing so, Purohit uncovers the frightening face of a New India that is united by hate and divided by art.

Saraswati Kavula has been making independent documentaries since 2004 on subjects concerning environment, health, livelihoods and agriculture. Decode Vaccines is a 2 part documentary made in 2019-2020 filmed in different parts of India and the United States including voices from various walks of life : doctors, parents, advocates, activists, politicians among others. Vaccines have been in controversy since the first smallpox vaccine was made. But the prominent narrative is about how vaccines have eradicated diseases and how they helped in survival of humans. However, a different perspective has emerged over past few decades within the medical fraternity and amongst parents with the surge in adverse events post immunisation. Decode Vaccines looks at the deeper issues concerning vaccine safety and children's health and at the players who are pushing for more and more vaccines to be included in the immunization schedule.

The first part will be screened on 1st Feb 2024 and Part 2 will be screened on 15th Feb 2024 at 7 pm.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

What happens when an Ambedkarite, wounded by the arrows of Kabir and Buddha, sings dhrupad? How do we see the fire in flowers? How form the formless? How does sound color light? What happens to a raga when passion turns secular, a color not often colored with?

Anand will present ragas in Dagarvani dhrupad style, featuring the suttas of the Buddha in Pali, the songs of Kabir, the cries for Bhim, a verse from the Thirukkural in Tamil, and a Vemana padyam in Telugu. Accompanied by a tanpura, he will see how a set of ragas color a morning ambling towards noon.

Anand studies dhrupad with Ustad F. Wasifuddin Dagar in Delhi and is the publisher of Navayana. As a youth, he was trained in Carnatic music by three gurus. He quit Carnatic at age twenty-five and did not sing for sixteen years.

A Course on Socialism taught by the most renowned experts in the field who intend to impart teaching of its core principles

The core of the play centers on four individuals who have convened at the funeral of a young woman whose tragic demise was a result of unrequited love. With a keen focus on the dynamics between men and women, the play sheds light on the oppression faced by women within a patriarchal society. The play skillfully delves into the intricacies of relationships across various socioeconomic backgrounds. Badal Sarkar subtly highlights that regardless of education or upbringing, men tend to exhibit a callous and apathetic approach toward matters of passion, love, and women.

*Songs for our times* by Kamaan

Building solidarity during times of divisiveness and hate

I’d like to share a selection of my songs through which I have tried to understand and respond to the many crises that we face today. Included in this selection is ‘American War Paar Da’, that has become a part of the anti-war toolkit since the American bombing of Afghanistan post 9/11.

I am hoping that my presentation will be a starting point to discuss ways of supporting grassroots cultural groups. Relaa is a collective of several such groups from various parts of India. I have been part of Relaa since 2016 and have had the opportunity to relate with several inspirational singers and musicians that are part of this collective.

I would like it to be a 2-hour long session, after which if some members want to stay on and discuss it would be good to have the option. I will take an hour to present my songs, which can be followed by sharing and discussion with the audience. Since I am keen to build a network of support for Relaa, I would prefer it to be for an audience of not more than 12. An indoor drawing room kind of space would be ideal for our purposes.

Robert Bernard Altman - February 20, 1925 – November 20, 2006) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He was a five-time nominee of the Academy Award for Best Director and is considered an enduring figure from the New Hollywood era. His most famous directorial achievements include M*A*S*H (1970), McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), The Long Goodbye (1973), Nashville (1975), 3 Women (1977), The Player (1992), Short Cuts (1993), and Gosford Park (2001).

Altman's style of filmmaking covered many genres, but usually with a "subversive" or "anti-Hollywood" twist which typically relied on satire and humor to express his personal views. Actors especially enjoyed working under his direction because he encouraged them to improvise. He preferred large ensemble casts for his films, and developed a multitrack recording technique which produced overlapping dialogue from multiple actors. This produced a more natural, more dynamic, and more complex experience for the viewer. He also used highly mobile camera work and zoom lenses to enhance the activity taking place on the screen. Critic Pauline Kael, writing about his directing style, said that Altman could "make film fireworks out of next to nothing.

Film Title: M*A*S*H | 1970 | 116 Mins | US | English Language with English Subtitles

About the film: The film depicts a unit of medical personnel stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War. It stars Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, and Elliott Gould, with Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall, René Auberjonois, Gary Burghoff, Roger Bowen, Michael Murphy, and in his film debut, professional football player Fred Williamson. Although the Korean War is the film's storyline setting, the subtext is the Vietnam War – a current event at the time the film was made.[1] Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau, who saw the film in college, said M*A*S*H was "perfect for the times. The cacophony of American culture was brilliantly reproduced onscreen."

Description-

Kissago presents 2 short plays.
1. Honeymoon Hungama - A Telugu short play
Synopsis:
Newlyweds Manu and Krishna embark on their dream honeymoon, booking a supposedly luxurious hotel. However, their romantic escapade takes an unexpected turn when every attempt to get close is hilariously thwarted by a parade of eccentric hotel staff and peculiar guests.
2. Hawalat

"Hawalalat" Written By Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena, revolves around the story of three youth who have no place since nobody was ready to offer them the shelter and they thought it proper to have the same in a police lock-up. For this they approached a police cop as criminals. In the beginning the cop is not ready to believe in them and asks them to establish their credentials by demonstrating their expertise and past accomplishments in the word of crime.

Lamakaan invites you to an intriguing Book Discussion with the Author.

H-Pop: The Secretive World of Hindutva Pop Stars by Kunal Purohit.

Can a song trigger a murder?
Can a poem spark a riot?
Can a book divide people?

Away from the gaze of mainstream urban media, across India's dusty, sleepy towns, a brand of popular culture is quietly seizing the imagination of millions on the internet and off it. From catchy
songs with acerbic lyrics to poetry recited in kavi sammelans to social media influencers shaping opinions with their brand of ‘breaking news’ to books rescripting historical events, ‘Hindutva Pop’ or H-Pop is steadily creating societal acceptability for Hindutva’s core beliefs. By cleverly inserting Hindutva into popular culture, H-Pop normalizes Islamophobia, demonizes minorities, and vilifies its critics each day without ever making headlines.

What makes H-pop so popular? Who are its stars and its audience? Who is pouring in the money, the effort and the resources to produce and broadcast it? What is its impact on the BJP and Prime
Minister Modi’s popularity? And what kind of an India is it trying to create?

These are some questions that award-winning independent journalist Kunal Purohit explores in this riveting investigative book as he travels through India, profiling some of H-Pop’s most prolific
and popular creators—its stars and celebrities. He interrogates whether the creators are driven by ideology or commerce and what motivates the audience to consume their daily dose of bigotry. In
doing so, Purohit uncovers the frightening face of a New India that is united by hate and divided by art.

This New Year 2024 Lamakaan dives deep into the retrospective films of master directors.

While we celebrate the New Year with fervor and gaiety, let's celebrate the cinema of Hollywood's most elegant film director, Ernst Lubtisch's films.

Ernst Lubitsch (/ˈluːbɪtʃ/; January 29, 1892 – November 30, 1947) was a German-born film director, producer, writer, and actor. His urbane comedies of manners gave him the reputation of being Hollywood's most elegant and sophisticated director; as his prestige grew, his films were promoted as having "the Lubitsch touch". Among his best known works are Trouble in Paradise (1932), Design for Living (1933), Ninotchka (1939), The Shop Around the Corner (1940), To Be or Not to Be (1942) and Heaven Can Wait (1943).

He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director three times for The Patriot (1928), The Love Parade (1929), and Heaven Can Wait (1943). In 1946, he received an Honorary Academy Award for his distinguished contributions to the art of the motion picture.

Film Title: NINOTCHKA | 1939 | 90 Mins | US | English Language with English Subtitles

About the film: Ninotchka is a 1939 American romantic comedy movie directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Ina Claire, Felix Bressart, Bela Lugosi, and Gregory Gaye. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer distributed it, and was nominated for 4 Academy Awards in 1940. It was remade as Silk Stockings in 1957.

Saraswati Kavula has been making independent documentaries since 2004 on subjects concerning environment, health, livelihoods and agriculture. Decode Vaccines is a 2 part documentary made in 2019-2020 filmed in different parts of India and the United States including voices from various walks of life : doctors, parents, advocates, activists, politicians among others. Vaccines have been in controversy since the first smallpox vaccine was made. But the prominent narrative is about how vaccines have eradicated diseases and how they helped in survival of humans. However, a different perspective has emerged over past few decades within the medical fraternity and amongst parents with the surge in adverse events post immunisation. Decode Vaccines looks at the deeper issues concerning vaccine safety and children's health and at the players who are pushing for more and more vaccines to be included in the immunization schedule.

The first part will be screened on 1st Feb 2024 and Part 2 will be screened on 15th Feb 2024 at 7 pm.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

What happens when an Ambedkarite, wounded by the arrows of Kabir and Buddha, sings dhrupad? How do we see the fire in flowers? How form the formless? How does sound color light? What happens to a raga when passion turns secular, a color not often colored with?

Anand will present ragas in Dagarvani dhrupad style, featuring the suttas of the Buddha in Pali, the songs of Kabir, the cries for Bhim, a verse from the Thirukkural in Tamil, and a Vemana padyam in Telugu. Accompanied by a tanpura, he will see how a set of ragas color a morning ambling towards noon.

Anand studies dhrupad with Ustad F. Wasifuddin Dagar in Delhi and is the publisher of Navayana. As a youth, he was trained in Carnatic music by three gurus. He quit Carnatic at age twenty-five and did not sing for sixteen years.

A Course on Socialism taught by the most renowned experts in the field who intend to impart teaching of its core principles

The core of the play centers on four individuals who have convened at the funeral of a young woman whose tragic demise was a result of unrequited love. With a keen focus on the dynamics between men and women, the play sheds light on the oppression faced by women within a patriarchal society. The play skillfully delves into the intricacies of relationships across various socioeconomic backgrounds. Badal Sarkar subtly highlights that regardless of education or upbringing, men tend to exhibit a callous and apathetic approach toward matters of passion, love, and women.

*Songs for our times* by Kamaan

Building solidarity during times of divisiveness and hate

I’d like to share a selection of my songs through which I have tried to understand and respond to the many crises that we face today. Included in this selection is ‘American War Paar Da’, that has become a part of the anti-war toolkit since the American bombing of Afghanistan post 9/11.

I am hoping that my presentation will be a starting point to discuss ways of supporting grassroots cultural groups. Relaa is a collective of several such groups from various parts of India. I have been part of Relaa since 2016 and have had the opportunity to relate with several inspirational singers and musicians that are part of this collective.

I would like it to be a 2-hour long session, after which if some members want to stay on and discuss it would be good to have the option. I will take an hour to present my songs, which can be followed by sharing and discussion with the audience. Since I am keen to build a network of support for Relaa, I would prefer it to be for an audience of not more than 12. An indoor drawing room kind of space would be ideal for our purposes.

Robert Bernard Altman - February 20, 1925 – November 20, 2006) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He was a five-time nominee of the Academy Award for Best Director and is considered an enduring figure from the New Hollywood era. His most famous directorial achievements include M*A*S*H (1970), McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), The Long Goodbye (1973), Nashville (1975), 3 Women (1977), The Player (1992), Short Cuts (1993), and Gosford Park (2001).

Altman's style of filmmaking covered many genres, but usually with a "subversive" or "anti-Hollywood" twist which typically relied on satire and humor to express his personal views. Actors especially enjoyed working under his direction because he encouraged them to improvise. He preferred large ensemble casts for his films, and developed a multitrack recording technique which produced overlapping dialogue from multiple actors. This produced a more natural, more dynamic, and more complex experience for the viewer. He also used highly mobile camera work and zoom lenses to enhance the activity taking place on the screen. Critic Pauline Kael, writing about his directing style, said that Altman could "make film fireworks out of next to nothing.

Film Title: M*A*S*H | 1970 | 116 Mins | US | English Language with English Subtitles

About the film: The film depicts a unit of medical personnel stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War. It stars Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, and Elliott Gould, with Sally Kellerman, Robert Duvall, René Auberjonois, Gary Burghoff, Roger Bowen, Michael Murphy, and in his film debut, professional football player Fred Williamson. Although the Korean War is the film's storyline setting, the subtext is the Vietnam War – a current event at the time the film was made.[1] Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau, who saw the film in college, said M*A*S*H was "perfect for the times. The cacophony of American culture was brilliantly reproduced onscreen."
