However, recent Bollywood productions have become increasingly tailored for a more global market, while filmmakers from the diaspora have found ways of incorporating some characteristics of Bollywood into their own hybrid films. Some of the key figures involved in bringing these films to American audiences will discuss the new directions in the industry and the exciting opportunities to introduce it into a whole new market. Moderated by: David Chute, film critic, editor of Film Comment¹s special section "Bollywood Rising" Panelists: Shiraz Jivani, CEO, NAZ8 Cinemas Radisson Miyako Hotel, Osaka Room
Ticket Price: Panel 2: The Intimate Art of DV FilmmakingSunday, March 9, 2003, 3:00 PM This year¹s program includes four feature-length narratives shot on DV and transferred to 35mm print, evidence of the oft-discussed DV revolution coming to fruition. These films have been critically acclaimed for their superb mastery of the format, while one even screened in competition at Cannes. But DV is not for every film. (Not coincidentally, these films are generally intimate, character-driven narratives.) Three filmmakers who have thought hard about the medium will talk about their decision to shoot in DV, how it affects their aesthetic and directing style, and the challenges of translating their vision from digital to print.
