Why this blog?

The idea of creating this blog was mooted by filmmaker Bappaditya Bandyopadhyay during a telephonic conversation with his colleague Subrata Sen.

Both of them agreed that filmmakers in Bangla, specially those still believe in the concept of alternative/ parallel films, needed to have a blog of their own.

This is a blog for everyone. For filmmakers, for aspiring filmmakers, for people who love Bengali alternative cinema and even for those who hate them.

This is the place to idolize, to de-iconize, to praise, to abuse. All for the cause of cinema.

No holds barred, no censors.
