- A director lands in serious internal crisis and frustration after he fails to come up with a story for his upcoming film, even the shooting schedule of which has been more or less finalized. He makes two scripts but finally cancels both of them after realizing that events are actually being imposed on the storyline and that he will cheat the viewer.
- Little Fish Eat Big Fish is a Kolkata based group of no-budget film makers. The latest venture of the group is the 5 no-budget short films produced in 2009-10. They opted for a direct to DVD release in the last Kolkata Book Fair. Details for the five short films in the DVD are provided below. 1) The Sandbook --- A short fiction by Snigdhendu Bhattacharya. The film is an adoption of a short story by Jorge Luis Borges. The story moves with the landing of an amazing book in the hand of a scholer, who tries to understand "the internal ties in events occuring" in and around the book in order to go through it. The film is a melodramatic interpretation of the story within a very limited budget. 2) Jean-Luc Godard Had No Script -- A no-budget fiction by Anamitra Roy. The film approaches the larger history of politically conscious films in a mimetic way. The title of the film is a bit exploitative as it is neither a spoof and has been made with a very tight script. 3) ...Or A Horror film -- A short film by Souva Chattopadhyay. The film is an improvisation of a short story by Daniil Kharms, a little known Russian poet and short story writer.The film is about the paranoia inherent in the urban mindscape that prohibits oneself from fulfilling his/her desire. 4) A Hiding -- A typical Arupratan Ghosh short film. A little fiction, a little non-fiction, a hint of an incomplete romance, a bit reflection of social reality --- all of it punched with an uncanny voiceover, that's what 'A Hiding' is. 5) Long Live (all) the Revolution -- A short film about a young writers struggle in the power-craving world of ideology and disbelief. In this short fiction you will find a fake-magician, and you will be haunted by a prolonged and bizarre nightmare. This film is basically a fantasy of telling the (un)truth. Written and Directed by Sankhasubhra Ganguly.
