Storytelling vs Storyliving.
Can a story be so immersive that you no longer watch itâyou live it?
In this episode of The Artists Podcast, Vicki Dobbs Beck takes us behind one of the most groundbreaking immersive storytelling projects ever created: Alejandro G. Iùårritu's CARNE y ARENA (Virtually Present, Physically Invisible).
The experience became the first virtual reality work to receive a Special Academy Award (Oscar), recognizing it as a visionary new form of storytelling. Created in collaboration with Iùårritu, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, and ILMxLAB, it invited audiences to step into the lived experience of migrants crossing the U.S.âMexico border, redefining what cinema could be.
As the former Vice President of Immersive Content Innovation at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Vicki Dobbs Beck shares the story behind its creationâand how immersive storytelling is changing the language of cinema itself.
If you're curious about where storytelling is headed, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

In this episode of The Artists Podcast, we dive deep into the mind of David Lynch with acclaimed film scholar Todd McGowan â author of The Impossible David Lynch, a provocative exploration of Lynchâs cinematic language and the impossible, unconscious core of his films.Lynch occupies a rare space between mainstream visibility and independent cinema authenticity â blending the bizarre and the normal, the dreamlike and the narrative, to create films that defy conventional categorization. Whether youâre a filmmaker, cinephile, or lover of the strange, this episode reveals how Lynch thinks â and why his cinema continues to challenge and captivate global audiences.Subscribe @suchita_filmmaker_podcaster to stay tuned.#TheArtistsPodcast #DavidLynch #ToddMcGowan #TheImpossibleDavidLynch #FilmTheory #CinemaStudies #IndependentCinema #MainstreamCinema #SurrealCinema #PsychoanalyticFilm #AuteurCinema #FilmScholar #WatchEpisode #YouTubePodcast #FilmDiscussion #Cinephile #MovieTalk #FilmAnalysis
In Episode 156, we enter the unsettling, hypnotic world of David Lynch with acclaimed film scholar Todd McGowan, author of The Impossible David Lynch.Lynch is one of cinemaâs greatest paradoxes. He worked within Hollywood systems and budgets, yet created films that feel radically independent. From Blue Velvet to Mulholland Drive, from Twin Peaks to Wild at Heart, his cinema resists easy interpretation while remaining deeply watchable.So how did Lynch stay between mainstream cinema and art-house radicality?Todd McGowan unpacks Lynch through Kant, Freud, fantasy theory, and the unconscious â revealing why Lynchâs films are not puzzles to solve, but experiences to undergo. We explore whether Lynch was more classical than we assume, how he erased the âwallâ between fantasy and reality, and why feeling â not logic â structures his cinema.This episode is essential for filmmakers, theorists, and anyone fascinated by how cinema can disturb, seduce, and transform an audience.âąď¸ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction01:28 Kant, Freud & Lynch04:20 Erasing the wall (Blue Velvet)06:57 Staying between mainstream & art film (clip)08:15 His most âmainstreamâ film â Wild at Heart10:01 Godard & Lynch (clip)11:30 Cinema of feeling vs cinema of reason12:20 On Godardâs passing (clip)15:57 Lynch as a traditional Hollywood director?

There were, in many ways, two Kubricks: the pre-Spartacus Kubrick and the post-Spartacus Kubrick.
The common belief is that once Kubrick became Stanley Kubrick, success followed effortlessly.
The reality was very different.
Despite becoming one of cinema's most celebrated directors, Kubrick spent much of his career battling rejection, financing challenges, unrealized projects, and the immense pressures of filmmaking.
Great artists are often remembered for their successes. What we forget are the disappointments, failures, and resilience that shape the journey.
Filmmaking is a high-stress profession. It demands conviction, persistence, and the ability to keep going when the odds are against you.
Perhaps that's one of the most important lessons Kubrick leaves behind: talent matters, but resilience matters just as much.

Was Stanley Kubrick simply a geniusâor did he train himself to become one?

06:17 â Photography and learning the art of seeing
09:22 â What does it take to become a self-taught filmmaker?
13:25 â How Kubrick developed his artistic taste
18:00 â When did the world begin taking Kubrick seriously?
21:14 â Why even Kubrick struggled to get financing
23:00 â Genres, intellectual trends, and cinematic trends

How did Stanley Kubrick become one of the greatest storytellers in cinema?
It wasn't just talent.
It was a lifetime of training his mindâthrough photography, reading, chess, music, relentless curiosity, and learning how to truly observe the world.
Long before he made masterpieces, Kubrick was honing himself as an artist.
In this conversation with renowned Kubrick scholar Professor Nathan Abrams, we explore the inner life and creative process behind one of cinema's greatest mindsâand what today's artists can learn from it.

In 2025, The Artists asked questions that donât resolve easily.
Why did Orson Welles come to be seen as a âfailedâ director by Hollywood?
How was Alfred Hitchcock really thinking?
Is data shaping content â or is content shaping data?
What does AI mean for filmmakers â ethically, creatively, existentially?
What lies at the core of creativity?
What is shaping the cultural imagination of India today?
Why is Bertolt Brecht still urgently relevant?
What gave David Lynch his singular imagination?
What do filmmakers like Raj Khosla continue to teach us about form, emotion, and restraint?
Across cinema, culture, design, media, theory, AI, and mental health,
The Artists became a space for listening.
We followed one central question:
What lies at the core of creativity?
We moved between legacy and the future,
between form and feeling,
between structure and imagination,

When a leading actor chooses to set boundaries, the industry takes notice.
What began as one artist taking a stand on working hours has now cracked open long-suppressed conversations about working conditions in the Indian film industry. What Deepika Padukone may never have anticipated is unfoldingâa ripple effect that could spark real, long-overdue transformation, especially around the mental health and well-being of artists and workers across the filmmaking ecosystem.
From those in the spotlight to the countless invisible crew members working punishing hoursâthis episode of The Artists Podcast is a timely, urgent listen.
Weâre joined by mental health expert Dr. Avinash Desousa of the Desousa Foundation in a powerful conversation as part of our ongoing series: Artists and Mental Health.
Together, we ask: Why is it so important to speak openly about mental health in the film industryâand what needs to change?
Digs:
1) Productivity vs Work hours2) Designing and respecting the well being of all in the crew3) Steps Production companies should take when working longer hours4) Women in the crew and the boundaries5) Building strong interpersonal relationships based on compassion and respect.6) Women are equal participants in the industry

đď¸ New Episode | THE ARTISTS Podcast
"Brecht and Dialectical Thinking"
with Anthony Squiers, author of Bertolt Brechtâs Adaptations and Anti-Capitalist Aesthetics Today
In an age dominated by doomscrolling and passive viewing, what does it mean to create art that wakes us up instead of lulling us into consumption? In this rich and urgent conversation, scholar Anthony Squiers joins us to re-examine Bertolt Brechtâs radical vision of theatre, adaptation, and aestheticsâand why it matters now more than ever.
Drawing from his book Bertolt Brechtâs Adaptations and Anti-Capitalist Aesthetics Today, Anthony explores how Brechtâs theatrical techniquesârooted in disruption, distance, and dialecticsâare tools for reshaping not just art but consciousness.
We cover:
- Brecht in the Age of Doomscrolling â How Epic Theatre holds up against passive digital aesthetics.
- Brechtâs Techniques and Innovations â From Gestus to the Alienation Effect, and how they work today.
- Filmmakers Who Echo Brecht â Cinema that resists identification.
- Brecht vs. Stanislavski â Emotional immersion vs. critical distance.
- Art That Effects Consciousness â Why Brecht wanted you to think, not feel.
- Aristotelian vs. Brechtian Plot Structures â Neat catharsis or jagged provocation?
- Sartre and Brecht â Political art as philosophical ground.
- Adaptation as Intervention â Brechtâs irreverent, purpose-driven approach to classic texts.
- Dialectical Thinking as Creative Tool â Ways to think in tension, contradiction, and complexity.
- Epic Theatre in 2025 â What does radical performance look like now?
- Instagram Reels & Passive Aesthetics â What does it mean to consume without questioning?
- Gestus in Performance â The body as a site of political storytelling.
- Shakespeare vs. Brecht â Poetic psychology vs. historical materialism.
đ âThe proof of the pudding is in the tasting.â
Let this episode be your first bite into Brechtâs theatrical revolution.

Who Was Shyam Benegal as a Person?
How did he think? What was his style of working? And how did his worldview shape not just his films, but also the people around him?
Shyam Benegal wasnât just a filmmakerâhe was a visionary who reshaped Indian cinema. His influence extended beyond his own films, shaping generations of storytellers, including his nephew, Dev Benegalâan award-winning filmmaker who carved his own path while carrying forward the spirit of fearless, independent storytelling.
In this fascinating conversation, Suchita digs deep with Dev Benegal, exploring his cinematic journeyâone that collided with legends, challenged conventions, and uncovered the truths of filmmaking. From the importance of scripts to finding your unique voice, this episode is packed with invaluable insights.
đŹ Did you know?
- Bong Joon-ho watches a film a day.
- Werner Herzog watches just 3-4 films a year.
Does watching too many films dilute your voice, or does it sharpen your vision?
And then thereâs the question of scripts. If movies are ultimately made on the editing table, should scripts ever be considered final? Should filmmakers abandon audience testing in pursuit of raw, unfiltered storytelling?
Mira Nair once said, "Every morning you wake up, itâs like going to war." Because filmmaking is both a battle and a revelation.
đ ROAD, MOVIE is getting re-released in theatresâa reminder of cinemaâs power to transport, to distill details into density.
This, and much moreâfilmmaking lessons, life insights, and untold storiesâwith Dev Benegal.

Niren Bhatt needs no intro. A very successful writer with a range of box office hits from Stree 2, which did 400 cr. plus business, to another hit of the year Munjya. You can google Niren Bhatt and see his writing across genres, many of which you would have heard or seen.
But, more than the box office figures what is interesting to know is how does Niren Bhatt think? Because writing is a thinking process- and the way you think is the way you will structure, the way you will choose the right elements for your story, the right scene perspective, and the way to move the audience; in his case SWAY THE AUDIENCE.
Suchita digs Niren on multiple levels, and you can't miss the humour and get swayed.
1) Writing across genres.
2) Writing is a thinking process- HOW DO YOU THINK?
3) Maslow's hierarchy and the intent of self- actualization!
4) The detailed Writing process- which has to be fulfilling.
5) The Syd Fields, The Robert Mckees- And the template of screen writing?
6) From playwriting to ScriptWriting.
7) Advice from Gulzar Saab.
8) WRITER'S BLOCK- is fictional!
10)First Draft - VOMIT DRAFT to 15- 16th Final Draft.
11) SCRIPT LITERACY AND BOUNCING BOARDS- Who are you sharing your scripts with, to read- VERY IMP.
12) The rejections, traumas, imposter syndromes.
13) Importance of a DREAM PRODUCER-
14) Market research/ Algorithms- Analysis is a double edged sword?
15) What is it that your producers of Stree 2 and Munjya are DOING RIGHT?
16) The analysis of the elements of genre.
17) PLS DO NOT ASK FOR SO MANY NARRATIONS AND THEN REJECT C, TRAUMAS, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
Knowing the INTENT and purpose of what ever work you are doing, will drive it in the right direction- in this case MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF SELF- ACTUALIZATION ! And, the moment you know this- you will set a clear direction for your life and your values, your purpose- which is all interlinked with the kind of work you want to do!! Great takeaway.
Reflect and Enjoy!

A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnès Varda, is the book by award- winning film critic Carrie Rickey.
Rickey traces Vardaâs three remarkable careersâas still photographer, as filmmaker, and as installation artist. She explains how Varda was a pioneer in blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, using the latest digital technology and carving a path for women in the movie industry. She demonstrates how Varda was years ahead of her time in addressing sexism, abortion, labor exploitation, immigrant rights, and race relations with candor and incisiveness. She makes clear Vardaâs impact on contemporary figures like Ava DuVernay, Greta Gerwig, Barry Jenkins, the Safdie brothers, and Martin Scorsese, who called her one of the Gods of cinema. And she delves into Vardaâs incredibly rich social life with figures such as Harrison Ford, Jean-Luc Godard, Jim Morrison, Susan Sontag, and Andy Warhol, and her nearly forty-year marriage to the celebrated director Jacques Demy.
Suchita talks to Carrie about this most important book on Agnes Varda who defined the French New Wave, inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, and was recognized with major awards at the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals, as well as an honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards.
Digs:
1) Varda and her relationships with other Artists. She got to the essence very fast. Her ability to connect with people as a photographer and storyteller was immemse.
2) Transforming from still image to moving pictures to 3 dimensional spaces- almost like a 3 Act of life!!
3) The approach as a filmmaker that was so distinct from her director husband Demy. Her approach was to discover deeper aspects of things.
4) Varda started making movies without knowing anything about movies- without having even have watched many films- and so she found her own language, her own grammar.
5) Opening up to arts, creativity and filmmaking to create a new syntax.
6) Truffaut's non acceptance of Varda as a director and his reviews in Cahiers du cinema.
7) A very imporant difference between the French and the American studios financing movies-
8) How photography taught her to capture the decisive moment!
9) 1958 when her film got into the Cannes festival was she accepted into the community of french filmmakers and new wave filmmakers?
10) The long marriage to another brilliant filmmaker Demy
11) Varda's relationship with Jim Morrison and his death- and how his funeral was for less than 8 minutes!
12) Varda with Warhol, Susan Sontag, Truffaut.
13) Scorses's immense admiration for Varda.

Do you know that your brain works in different frequencies through out the day- from the time you get up to the time you fall asleep, and while you are sleeping!; these frequencies are defined as beta, alpha, theta, gamma, delta. It is being researched and proven that the slower your brain wave frequency, the better your mental and physical health. It is also being researched that slower brain wave frequency, gives you access to your subconscious mind- and it is being proven that our life, our decisions, our behaviour - in-fact, who we are, 95 percent of it, is controlled by our subconscious mind and 5 percent by our conscious mind. So, whats the big deal here? The big deal is that, we do-not know, that 95 percent of the time, we take decisions that are controlled by our subconscious programming.
And, if we access our subconscious mind and re- programme it according to the WE that we want to become, or the life that we want to create, we will be able to manifest and fulfil the life, we exactly want to live.
So, again how do we do this?
By being able to control our brain waves and access our subconscious mind more frequently and reprogram it.
Mediations are a way to do it. And, since i have been digging into this bit for quite sometime- i mystically came across this book- change your brain waves by Scholars and researchers Yukio and Susanne who explain this phenomenon through the practise of chantings.

One of the most important thing in any film, and more so in a regional or an independent films is the camaraderie between the director and the DOP, where the two have to work together to not just design the film effectively, but also to deliver the film within a time span- to shoot the film in those number of days.
The most effective camaraderie is a good friendship.
Our guests are Darshan Trivedi, the director, and Tapan Vyas the DOP, on to their 5th film together, that is releasing on Jan 19th.
Also, a great point that we should always get reminded of- it is a great joy to work with people who understand the purpose of cinema. It is greater joy and good fortune if your film gets to the theatres.
Some key take aways is: Filmmaking especially for a director takes so much energy that it affects all area of their life, personal professional and- so be mindful when choosing to take this as a profession.
Be very mindful in collaborating with people, and choose only the ones who have a true passion for cinema and are not there just for money or fame or other extracurricular activities that they think is glamour.

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU ALL YOU LOVELY LISTENERS OUT THERE-
We were to release this episode at the end of 2023- but we are a very small team running this podcast independently, and so we mugged it up.

So, any of you would like to sponsor us, fund us, support us in some way- even a small amount goes a long way in supporting and increasing the production quality of the show and reaching you with some great content.
And, if you want a bigger association, we can mention your name and support as a patron on the podcast.
Please connect with us. You can also join our insta handle that we have regularly started posting on- the.artistspodcast.
And back to the episode with our wonderful guests- Dr. Pushpinder Chowdhry and Rita Meher.
Did you know that the representation of Asians and South Asians is under 5 and 3 percent in the main stream film industry?
And, it's an arduous task to run a film festival?
But, more importantly, why should you submit your film to a specific festival? And why should the audience go to a specific festival?
Pushpinder Chowdhry is the founder of the longest running Asian film festival in the UK- The UKAFF, and Rita Meher is the founder of a prominent South Asian film festival in the U.S, Tasveer South Asian film festival.
Enjoy.

In total, we've clocked 27 episodes, averaging around 2 and a half episodes each month, even with a festive break and our other commitments. Not too shabby!"
According to Spotify Wrapped data, our most downloadable episode was number 123, '9000 Feature Length Films.' Thank you to all the amazing guests who contributed to the diverse discussions on our podcast. Your engagement, messages, and social media tags have meant the world to us." Also our episode 121 on REACHING ACTORS was specially acknowledged by a lot of listeners- genuinely trying to make good cinema. We had a good listenership of Ep 130 the only episode on documentaries. We also spoke at length on audience in small towns in Ep 139.
We didn't shy away from controversial topics either.
In our snacky episodes, we ranted about ChatGPT, algorithms, and even took on the Oscars.
Our special series on "artists and mental health" covered crucial topics like synchronicities, forgiveness therapy, ambition, vulnerabilitiesâall vital qualities in the life of an artist."
"We dived into some significant events, such as the WGA strike in episode 126. Exploring the business side, we shared insights on building arts and culture startups in episode 136 and discussed the genius of Shakespeare in episode 140.

How would you feel like living in a town where there is Shakespeare parked in every corner, staring at you!!! And how would it feel to be surrounded by actors who only play Shakespeare and his characters all the time!!
Dr Darren Freebury-Jones is a Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon. He is the author of multiple books, all having a relation with Shakespeare.
In this fun chat, we talk about not just the 400-year-plus legacy of Shakespeare, but also the strong influence of his work that keeps inspiring, filmmakers across the globe. And why?
What makes Shakespeare this genius- his deep understanding of the human mind and the human condition, or his belief in something beyond what we see?
To be or not to be? Is that the question for you? Or as Darren puts it Let it be.
I do not know if there is any writer, for me who comes closer to Shakespeare- not just his multidimensional character but also how he thought about his acts and plot points and structuring - literally being the innovator of what we are following as a template. It is complex, yet it is simple- to be or not to be, or just let it be.

What is the taste of audiences in small towns of India? How different it it? OR is it not after the arrival of OTT? How do they think? What do they enjoy? Why are filmmakers and content creators not including them in their creation? or is it OK to include them?
Some of these pertinent questions and more with our guest Akkshay Rathie.
Mr. Akkshay Rathie is a film exhibitor & distributor with operations spread across the central Indian states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh. While carrying forward a 70 years old legacy in the show business, Akkshay has been a pioneer in the process of consolidation of the film exhibition sector by orchestrating a first of its kind alliance between single screen cinemas of his chain with the Cinepolis, one of the largest exhibition chains in the world that operates from Mexico.
A few tidbits that we got was: When Gadar 2 trailer came out- there was nothing expected out of it. In fact the word of mouth was complete opposite to the final results of the film - it broke all the previous records, myths and understanding of boxoffice in India for everyone including the makers.
Movies like Shubh Mangal Svdhan a small town story, did well not in small towns bur urban india.
Did you know that 45 percent of the screens in India are in the South- with north India having comparatively lesser film screens.

Most of us if not all of us are fans of DC, MARVEL, and of course the DARK KNIGHT.
We own the merches, we have watched the films. The journey of graphic novels began from comic books around 1927, before transitioning to Graphic novels; How have they influenced our culture.?
As comic con begins next week in the U.S we try and understand this journey from the CEO and President of the iconic brand Amar Chitra Katha., Preeti Vyas ; we dig on how comic books stay afloat in a fragmented and over saturated content market and more importantly designing characters for todays 7 year olds ( this looks tougher than a start up and making movies) and creating content when all are creators.
Digs:
1) Journey from a Comic book to a Graphic Novel.
2)India at Comic Con- where are we internationally?
3) Quality and strategy in an oversaturated content market

EVERYBODY, just got released in the US on JUNE 30TH. One of the rare documentary films getting a wide theatrical release by FOCUS features. EVERYBODY is an intimate, important and urgent documentary on INTERSEX.It is light hearted and fun as much as it is educating and impactful- primarily because of the way director Julie Cohen chose her real characters and wove the narrative.
Julie Cohen is an Academy Award-nominated, Emmy-winning director and producer of RBG, along with Betsy West. Other theatrical documentaries she's directed with West include the Oscar shortlisted JULIA and the Peabody-winning My Name is Pauli Murray.
GO WATCH "EVERYBODY" IN THEATRES.
AND, SUPPORT INDIE FILMMAKERS BY PAYING FOR THE FILMS- TRY NOT DEMANDING FREE TICKETS.
DIGS:
IN LGBTQIA- I stands for? INTERSEX. Did you know that? Do you know how many people in the world are born as intersex.
We try and dig the process of making a difficult and intimate film like EVERYBODY, where we as audience least understand the topic and it can get taboo in many countries; how does a Filmmaker navigate through the characters and makes them comfortable to come out and reveal themselves while shooting VĂŠritĂŠ.
Stay enlightened.

Continuing with our special series- Artists & Mental Health, that gets cross pollinated between our two podcasts THE ARTISTS AND THE SOS SHOW, OUR SPECIAL GUEST is BERNARD BEITMAN, M.D., Founding Director of The Coincidence Project which encourages people to tell each other their synchronicity and serendipity stories.
His book, Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Serendipity and Synchronicity Happen describes their wide range of uses and explanations. It tells us that there is a deeper energy that connects us and that energy could be communicating with us consistently.
I for one feel it all the time.
Understanding and connecting with this energy enables us to go beyond our daily survival mode, and take a look at life from a higher perspective- this enhances our work, and our overall daily well-being.
If you experience these coincidences, do let us your story.

An existential crisis refers to a period of deep questioning and reflection about the fundamental nature of one's existence, purpose, and meaning in life. It is often characterised by feelings of confusion, anxiety, and a sense of being lost or disconnected from one's values, beliefs, or goals. And Artists who I might call thinkers are most prone to fall into existential crisis.
How can they deal with it?

This episode is a part of Artists n mental health series. These episodes we cross-pollinate between our mental health podcast THE SOS SHOW and THE ARTISTS. The last episode we did was with actor Rajeev Khandelwal- chk that out if you haven't yet.
Our guest for todays episode is peace activist Azim Khamisa who started the Forgiveness movement that has now reached millions of people. This movement is important for all of us, especially the vulnerable community of Artists because we live in a cut throat competitive world and there are many a times that other people rub badly on us or vice versa and we are unable to forgive. May this episode give us the wisdom to look deeper into our lives and on more profound values- forgiveness can be a great value that will ease our movement in this rickety path.
In the year 1995, Azim Khamisa's 20 year old son had just got engaged. Next day, as he was doing his part time job of delivering pizza, a group of boys surrounded him and a 14 year old boy murdered him in cold blood. In 2023 Azim Khamisa runs a peace foundation with that 14 year old Juvenile boy who he also fought for to get him out of prison by forgiving him the murder of his only son. Azim Khamisa founded the Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF.org), which started a subsequent forgiveness movement that has reached millions globally. He has received over 80 local, national and international awards. www.AzimKhamisa.com
In this podcast Episode, Suchita digs through this heart melting story of what can an act of forgiveness do to your and other lives.
What about the daily acts of forgiveness that we have to do in personal and professional relationships, to strangers, to our own selves.
What can an act of forgiveness do in a wider context like the current Russia - Ukraine war.
Just one daily act can build your forgiveness muscle- meditation!!

After we did the Ep 117 on Who are you making your films for, and then Ep 120 trends in indie monetisation and streaming, we thought we will try and solve a problem for filmmakers, if we can, by getting an opinion from Industry leaders, thought leaders, filmmakers on this one question that can help us all. Now making a film takes a lot of effort, time, resources, and if they do not reach the right audience the effort is all wasted.
According to UNESCO, 9444 feature length films were
made in 2019 and the rate continues. This includes films produced in all countries and languages, including Hollywood blockbusters, Bollywood films, art-house productions, and independent films. This number does not include short films, documentaries, or other forms of film and video content.
So consider a very high side: if 4000 films get absorbed on various VODs- Netflix, Amazon, Mubi, Tubi, Hulu, Roku, local cables etc etc- what happens to 5000 odd films?
1) Do they just disappear? What happens to films that never reach the audience? or a platform.
2) Do you think filmmakers should think of a plan before making feature films, so their films get discovered?
3) Can we as makers streamline these 5000 odd films and how? How can the system think of streamlining these films so they do not get lost?
We asked these question to our esteemed guests:
(In Alphabetical order)
A) ANJUL NIGAM- ACTOR/ PRODUCER- ER, GREY'S ANATOMY, NEVER HAVE I EVER......
B) ISIDORE BETHAL- FILMMAKER /EDUCATOR-His work has screened at CANNES and SXSW, NETFLIX, MOMA
C) KARAN TAURANI- INDUSTRY LEADER, EVP ELARA CAPITAL
D) MADHAVAN NARAYANAN- THOUGHT LEADER/ JOURNALIST- QUINT, NDTV, TIMES.
E) PINAKI CHATTERJEE- CONTENT ACQUISITION & DISTRIBUTION, FILM FESTIVAL STRATEGIST- MISS LOVELY, NAMESAKE, DEATH IN A GUNJ
There are many great answers, and if someone would want to jump on the bandwagon and collab and help us solve this, we can pull in more resources.

I'm sure all of you heard the amazing speech by one of the best storytellers, Charlie Kaufmann, "Donât get trapped in their world of box office numbers. You don't work for them. You donât work for the world of box office numbers. You work for the world. Don't worry about how to pitch, don't pitch. Be nervous, be vulnerable. Make your story honest and tell it. "
But, how much of this will be applicable in the real world of Film financing:)

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.

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 cinĂŠma, 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 AndrĂŠ 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?

As we approach the great Kieslowski's birthday on June 27th- we are fortunate to have Prof. Annette Insdorf sharing about the work, life and making of Kieslowski's masterpieces - Blue, White, and Red and The Double Life of Veronique. She also shares similarities between the two masters- Truffaut and Kieslowski- who she had closely worked with and authored books on them- Double Lives, Second Chances: The Cinema of Krzystzof Kieslowski .
We ask:
1) Knowing the Master- Kieslowski- what was he like as a person? - dry sense of humor/ skeptical/ non didactic. 2) Metaphysical/ spiritual/ rich in tonality - style. 3) Shooting his 3 masterpieces- BLUE/ WHITE/ RED- SIMULTANEOUSLY 4) Making the masterpiece- THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE 5) Writing the intangible structure 6) Composing Music- PRETEXT and the importance of it in his process 7) Directing his actors. 8) Similarities between Truffaut and Kieslowski 9) Kieslowski saw Citizen Kane 100 times-but the real masters for him were- Shakespeare/ Camus/ Tolstoy.
Enjoy!

Van Gogh's The Starry Nights is juxtaposed on Monalisa; Shakespeare is being recreated with complete accuracy. What does the future lie for arts and artists? We have Krishnendu Choudhury, a technology leader, inventor, and author of Mathematics and Architecture of Deep Learning where we dissect artificial intelligence and our future.
Pointers:
1) Artificial Intelligence (neural networks) and Machine Learning (Supervised and unsupervised)- simplified. 2) AI doesn't have Emotional intelligence, Empathy, consciousness- can it go independent in CREATING. 3) Threat for arts/ Artists- recreating arts.. 4) The era of singularity where machines can create a better version of their own selves- perhaps 15 16 years from now- !!!! Is that a threat? 5) Beauty of the human brain is repurposing... 6) NLP- when humans can talk to machines- Can films then be created only with AI- a hypothetical situation. 7) Creation of Dali's Melting Time- anecdote- a machine can never create that 8) Humour is a hard concept to be fed to Machines more than maybe empathy... hmmmmmm. 9) But algorithms are already dictating creativity....reverse engineering, satisfying the lowest common denominator. 10) Franz Kafka/ Picasso would be hard to produce in the coming world. 11) How can Humans use AI for their personal growth...

Be natural- the untold story of Alice Guy Blache opened at Cannes, NYFF, BFI (2018) to acclaim. It felt like discovering a female director after 125 years. We talk to the director of this feature documentary - PAMELA B GREEN. She takes us through the journey of making the film- that took almost 10 years; including the funding, getting executive producers like Robert Redford and Jodie Foster; gettting bytes from Julie Taymor, Julie Delphy, Agnes Varda, Walter Murch and many more. And, the toughest part- distribution of the film.
Pointers:
1) Finding Alice! 2) Not geting credentials as a female director- the world lost her! 3) Being a women director now! 4) 10 years in making the film 5) Treatment/ tone/ style of making the film 6) If Alice was not there what would have Cinema missed. 7) Was she the first to innovate / discover the language, the design, or everything was happening simulatenously - we know of Lumiere and Edison's though ! 8) The up hill task of finding distributors.
