The Rooster Must Die (2012)

Actor Laurence Pears as jack

The Rooster Must Die is a gripping and funny short film that tells the story of a classic clash between traditional rural life and those who wish for a quieter and more suburban existence. Inspired by the dramatic tousles between man and nature that characterised the iconic 1975 feature film Jaws, The Rooster Must Die focuses on what happens when a group of angry villagers join together to try and impose rule on a Rooster that is causing them all great distress. When the village chairman comes under increasing pressure to find a solution he turns to Jack, a local hard man, who is very confident that he will have no problems in handling the irritating Cock. Jack, however, soon learns that his enemy is considerably more cunning than the average chicken and when their plans for a quiet life go horribly wrong the villagers discover that an angry Rooster...

You Don’t Belong: Pasts and Futures of Indian Cinema (A Reader)

You Don’t Belong: Pasts and Futures of Indian Cinema (A Reader)

Persisting Vision: Pasts and Futures of Indian Cinema A Reader Edited by Ashish Rajadhyaksha Indian is well known for being the ‘largest filmmaking country’ in the world. Less clear is what this fact signifies for the subcontinent’s social reality. The present book, You Don’t Belong: Pasts and Futures of Indian Cinema, accompanies a major film package of more than 30 film titles, to provide a kaleidoscope of the experimental face of the Indian cinema. When the technology of cinema was invented in the beginning of the 20th century with the piquant theory of a persistence of vision, there was no evidence of how such a ‘vision’ could make sense in a world beyond the European Renaissance, or why such a technology would make its natural home in Asia. From the early part of the 20th century, India has had a significantly larger market for its own local cinema than for imports,...

Abhinay Deo is an Indian Ad Film maker turned Film Director. Abhinay's parents are the veteran actors Ramesh and Seema Deo. Abhinay's first movie was Game (2011), and his second was Delhi Belly. DELHI BELLY - WORLD PREMIERE 30 JUNE | 19:00 | CINEWORLD, HAYMARKET SYNOPSIS / REVIEW Irreverent, crude and downright rude this fabulous new comedy caper from modern Mumbai cocks its hat at bad-boy cults like Snatch and The Hangover, with perhaps a little peppering of the Beatles. Led by Tashi (played by the puppy dog-eyed, teen-heart throb Imran Khan), a dopey bundle of mates find themselves in a whole lot of trouble when they accidentally mix up a bag containing a stool sample (one of them ate the wrong Tandoori Chicken), with another bag which Tashi’s trolley-dolly girlfriend has been asked to carry a bag full of smuggled diamonds! All sh*t breaks out when the smugglers, led...
