Salam, RM Deccan Herald October 12, 2004 World Bank picks up Indian film for world-wide screening The Smithsonian Institution in the US is also planning to screen the film which deals with decentralisation of power. The World Bank has evinced keen interest in screening director Anwar Jamal’s debut feature film Swaraaj: The Little Republic across the world for its message of decentralisation of power. After a recent screening of the film, the Bank has said it was interested in taking the much-awarded film to Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mongolia and Paris for wider dissemination of the subject. The Cambodia office of the World Bank, it is understood, has also sought to dub the film into Khmer language. If the project takes off, Swaraaj will probably be the first Indian film to be taken by the global institution as a tool to educate people about the concept of decentralisation of power, which in India is symbolised by the Panchayati Raj System. The 90-minute film, which is being commercially released in several cities starting with Kolkata on October 15, deals with dalit women’s experience in grass roots democracy. Till now it has been shown in 27 international film festivals, winning the Audience Award at Palm Springs (US), Special Jury Commendation in Munich and Best Director and NETPAC (Network for Promotion of Asian Cinema) Awards in Dhaka. Produced by the Institute of Social Sciences, it also won the National Award for the Best Film on Social Issues last year. The Smithsonian Institution in the United States is also planning to screen the film at its premises, highlighting its concept about decentralisation of power. The film, written by noted documentary filmmaker Sehjo Singh, has been able to draw the attention because of its storyline drawn from a true incident, talking about power to the grass roots even as the protagonists’ search for elusive water in Rajasthan’s deserts has been compared with the great battle of Karbala. ------------------------ Yahoo!
