The 10th Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema - Mumbai,
aims at introducing Osian's Cinefan to Mumbaikars. Instituted in 2007,
this event samples the best of cinema to be shown at the festival in Delhi
as well as provide audiences in Bombay with a flavour of the multi-arts
and cross-cultural ethos of Cinefan through the CARD exhibitions and the
IBM² discussion panels. The event is aimed as a step towards providing
Mumbai with a more comprehensive film festival and film culture than
what exists now. It is indeed an irony that India loves cinema but does not
yet have a full-blown film culture or infrastructure that does justice to this
excitement that Indians have about the medium. The event as a rule tries
to tie in the history of cinema with contemporary trends through films,
exhibitions and discussion panels as well as by honoring each year the
doyens of the medium. Last year we felicitated the eminent theatre and
arts infrastructure builder Ebrahim Alkazi, the Film and Television Institute
of India, Pune, and the master film publicity designers Diwakar Karkare
and D.R. Bhosle. This year we pay tribute to one of the best loved actors
of Indian cinema, Shammi Kapoor.
The OCFF 10 Mumbai is as a rule designed as a sampler for what's going
to be up at the Osianama in a year's time. The Osianama will host many
film festivals through the year but always in dialogue with the other arts.
The main emphasis of the Mumbai event is to emphasize the crosslinkages
between the various arts with cinema drawing upon all existing
art forms for its energies and creativity. No such event or institution
exists at the moment in Mumbai or in India that brings together such
connectivity among the arts and between cinema and its neighboring
artistic practices in such a comprehensive manner and on such a
substantial scale. The Mumbai event is a build-up to cultural extravaganza
and cultural events that the Osianama will be where Mumbaikars and
visitors from all over the world will be treated to a continuous flow of
cinema, art, performance and pedagogy through the year. The Osian's
Cinefan festival itself will come to Mumbai once Osian's flagship cultural
complex - The Osianama opens in 2009.
