The origin of blues is ambiguous, but some details mention a 19th-century origin in the southern plantations. The inventors of blues were slaves, and descendants of slaves- African in origin, who sang while they toiled in the cotton and vegetable fields; heart-wrenching, empathetic, could be the reason I identify with this music genre the most. And, our guests for today are part of the only kind of Blues festival in Asia- The Mahindra Blues. Please welcome Jay Shah Vice-president of cultural outreach at the Mahindra Group and, VG Jairam, a veteran in the live entertainment industry.

Digs:

1) Why Blues and not Jazz!
2) Cultural Movement vs Cultural Marketing.
3) Intention behind a cultural movement.
4) Building a strong community- what does it take?
5) Spreading the BLUES- The Vision.

Enjoy!!

There were approx 15000 plus films (15858) submitted to Sundance 2023. More than half of them were made by first-time directors.
There were 4,061 feature-length films,1,662 were from the U.S., and 2,399 were international.
Out of this, only 101 feature films had to be selected for the final competition section of the festival. With this rush for making a movie, what are the chances that a worthy film will go unnoticed?

Our guest for this episode is Film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.

Mr.Rosenbaum was the head film critic for The Chicago Reader from 1987 to 2008. He has published and edited numerous books about cinema and has contributed to such notable film publications as Sight and sound, Cahiers du cinéma, and Film Comment. Regarding Mr. Rosenbaum, French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard said, "I think there is a very good film critic in the United States today, a successor of James Agee, and that is Jonathan Rosenbaum. He's one of the best; we don't have writers like him in France today. He's like André Bazin."

Digs:

1) 40 years plus in the landscape of movie-making- what are the most significant changes besides the OTT?

2) Being a part of Sight and sound polls of the best 100 films- what are the criteria for choosing the best for 100-plus years?

3) 15000 plus films got submitted to Sundance, what defines a movie being selected, and with the rush, how many worthy films can go unnoticed? Chances are many!!

4) When we say South Asian Cinema what are the few things that come to your mind?

5) David Cronenberg's Spider and the times of piecing together- Cinema.

6) On Godard and A Woman is a Woman.

7) On the adaptation of literary works (Dostoevsky and Chekhov) for films like Winters Sleep- what does the future hold?
