A Call in the Rain Forest
Hi All,
I attended the screening of "A Call in the Rainforest" today at Balgandharva Rangmandir in Pune. I also attended other screening of some foreign films which were really very informative and knowledgeable. Some of them which i liked other than "A Call in the Rain Forest" truly are:
1.Home our Garden of Eden - Suresh Elamon and
2.Life Force - Brazil Cerrado - Satoshi Okabe
A Call in the Rain Forest was mesmerizing. This is the first time for me to attend such screenings about nature, wildlife and conservation. Personally i did not have indepth details and knowledge of Lion Tailed Macaque's. I really liked the documentary and efforts taken towards conservation of these primates. Most of the people think that Tigers are only endangered species as there are tiger projects and "Save Tiger" projects running around. By documenting these primates we come to know there are so many other species which are on the verge of extinction or are endangered.
I really liked one particular scene in documentary where these primates are ripping off the posters on the tree to show displeasure about human enchroachments. That is alarm call for all humans.
I was bit unpleased by the way the schedule maintained at Kirloskar Vasundhara film festival as there were no proper co-ordinators to assist the people. And the screening timings should be changed as i went at 8 pm for the screening and the last screening was "A Call in the Rain Forest" which actually started at 10.35 pm when most of the people had already left the auditorium. There were hardly 10-15 people remaining till the end. When the object of such film festivals is to create awareness and encourage maximum people to come forward for conservation by keeping such timings will it serve the purpose??
Regards,
Manasi
"A Call in the Rain Forest" Absolutely Wonderful
I received the courier which contained the DVD "A call in the rain forest" today.
Immediately after reaching home saw the DVD along with my son.To put it in a nut shell the movie is absolutely wonderful.The videos taken with Canon 1D Mark IV is fantastic.I liked the way the movie began and the narration by Sabyaji is very nice.
I have been to Valpari and the film brought fond memories for me.During my visit,I didnt bump into a Lion tailed Macaque,though!
The film is edited well and the music encompasses the overall mood of the film.The LTM eats mostly berrys and fruits,and it is the Western Ghats which offers them that throughout the year,was a new information for me.
Was the video of the tiger shot in Bandipur?
Congratulations Sabyaji for bringing out such a good wildlife film.I hope this is only the beginning.Wish you and your team good luck for future endeavours.
Regards
