Want to make a documentary film?

Madras Week, built around Madras Day, August 22nd, will, as already announced in these columns, be celebrated from August 16th to 23rd. The coordinators of the programme have been in touch with several organisations and individuals and a host of events is being planned. Watch these columns for programme announcements. First off the mark was the call for participants to design a logo for a T-shirt. Now the coordinators announce a competition for young docu-film-makers.

If you are passionate about making documentaries, you must join this project. A project which is about producing films on Madras that is Chennai. About its people and places, its landmarks and its institutions, its lifetrends and its communities.

We produce films through the year and screen the best at a festival during the Madras Week celebrations in August.

The project for 2009 is open to students of Vis Comm and Media, Film and Botany and History, to young film-makers, artists and writers and journalists… to anyone who loves Chennai and is capable of making small films.

First comes the Selection. If you are selected, then you will be invited to a full day workshop to be conducted by well-known film-maker, Ms Soudhamini, who also teaches at the Film Institute, Pune.

To qualify for this, you can submit any form of creative material that proves your interest in the city (film/documen­tation/media). You can send us rough cut film material or just photos or articles. You must also tell us in 100 words the kind of subjects on Chennai you would like to document on film. You should submit your application by June 25, 2009.

Bonus – Those who qualify can then submit a film plan, and will also get a stipend of
Rs. 2000. This year, we propose to select eight people.

Extra Bonus – After the shooting of your film, Soudha­mini will guide you on how best to use the ‘rushes’ at the second meeting we will hold in July 2009.

Note: Only one person who plans to produce/direct the documentary should apply and he/she will be trained and guided. He/she in turn can employ others for shooting / editing / sound design, etc.

    Since the attacks of September 11th, 2001, more than 2 million military personnel have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan—one third of those have deployed multiple times. Many of these brave servicemen and women, their lives forever changed by combat, face reintegration issues when they return home. With thousands of traumatized veterans returning from theatre in the next several years, access to mental health care—including new and alternative methods of treatment—are needed to prevent generation of American veterans from falling through the cracks. Culled from interviews with warriors who’ve “been there”, as well as military and mental health experts charged with their care, Halfway Home weaves the personal stories of warriors’ life altering accounts from the battlefield with their often painful efforts to reintegrate back home. Halfway Home is an empowering story of courage and selfless service. The aim of the film is to raise awareness about a growing but treatable problem and to encourage suffering vets and their families to talk about their problems recovering from war. Original Music Composed by Jamie Dunlap, Director of Photography Alexandre Naufel, Executive Producer Shane Krider, Produced By Katy Fox, Natalie Lum Freedman and Gregory Strom, Directed, Written and Edited by Paul Freedman
