'Just do the work and see what happens.' This is our motto too, in case you wondered what we are doing at Oh Koh :) 'When you see a #documentary you expect to be #informed or to be #angry but you don't expect to be #moved.'

Thierry Gaudin about his music video 'We are the Earth'. That is what is happening with Other Kohinoors - people are getting moved & that is serving as the #trigger for further #development... He further says: 'it gives you the #energy and you do what you want with it.

#ClintEastwood turned 93 yesterday; a 🧵on Spaghetti Westerns, Clint's role in 'Per un Pugno di Dollari' (A Fistful of Dollars) and the subversive after-effects of the film that re-defined the Western. #ClintEastwood93today Image
In the summer of 1964, a TV actor who starred in a prime time Western serial was looking for distraction in films. The show was 'Rawhide', and its star Clint Eastwood, who played the impulsive, sometimes hot-tempered, but generally sweet-natured 'Rowdy Yates' felt he’d stagnated. Image
So, at 34, Eastwood decided upon a risky gamble: take a leap into the unknown by imposing trust in an obscure Italian director named Sergio Leone and travel to Rome to do an obscure “European Western” called 'Per un Pugno di Dollari.' Image

1/Many With this tweet I’m starting to cover a story what happened from 24 of March 1999 - Bombing Serbia by #NATO Manifesting of Neo Liberal Interventionism policy. Bombing at “moral will” of liberal gang of Clinton’s, Albright, Wesley Clark and others #warcriminals Image
To understand importance of #Kosovo in history of #Serbia we need to dive deep, up to 15 of June 1389 when Serbian Prince Lazar face invading Sultan Murat of Ottoman Empire in the Kosovo field battle Image
We will skip up to that - On Sunday 28 June 1914 during the royal couple's visit to Sarajevo, the then teenager Princip mortally wounded both Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie by firing a pistol into their convertible car that had unexpectedly stopped 5 feet (1.5 m) from him ImageImageImageImage

Of late, I have been tweeting threads on issues like #history & on #Maharashtra & #Mumbai. This is a compilation of some threads over the month

On a little-known attempt by an inebriated #British policeman to kill #MahatmaGandhi in #Pune


#NathuramGodse
The #ParvatiSatyagraha launched by Ambedkarites and reformist activities seeking that #Dalits be allowed to enter the Parvati temple in #Pune



#DrBabasahebAmbedkar #DrAmbedkar #DalitMovement #history
How #Dussehra was once a rallying point for the Swadeshi movement. It was on this day in 1905 that #VinayakDamodarSavarkar organised a massive bonfire of imported clothes

#Kantara, the latest Kannada movie directed by #RishabhShetty, has been making headlines ever since its release. True to its origins, the film of rustic brilliance is receiving positive responses from the who's who of the film fraternity across India, while wowing #cinema lovers! Image
Our Emeritus Director, Dr. K. Ullas Karanth, is the latest to share his admiration for Kantara. As a conservation organisation based in #Karnataka, we are pleased to share Dr. Karanth’s words of praise for the #film and the filmmaker as follows:
"I saw Rishab Shetty’s (@shetty_rishab) stunning movie, Kantara, last night! It was a deeply moving experience, which held me in a trance-like state from beginning to end."

Bhawanrao 'Balasaheb' Pantpratinidhi (1868-1951) who ruled Aundh in #Maharashtra was an unusual king. His work at reforming criminals & convicts inspired V.Shantaram's acclaimed ‘Do Aankhen Barah Haath’ (1957). Balasaheb was born on 24 October 1868
#history #Marathi #films #art
Unlike rulers who tried to cling to power even when the end of British rule was evident, #BalasahebPantpratinidhi handed over the reins of the state to the people much earlier in an experiment inspired by #MahatmaGandhi. He also helped freedom fighters & revolutionaries.
In a sense, #BalasahebPantpratinidhi was among the reformist kings who tried to birth welfare states in colonial India. He was also associated with one of the most popular forms of exercises—the suryanamaskars.

1/ I would like to take a couple tweets to promote the #Ukrainian #film #archive preserved by the Dovzhenko Centre. The archive includes tons of historical information as well as the legacy of many Ukrainians that are no longer with us.
dovzhenkocentre.org/en/about/
2/ I do this for three reasons. Firstly, to fight against #Russians attempts to eliminate #Ukrainian culture. We know now that #Pedoputin aims to destroy #Ukraine legacy, history, and culture. He won’t succeed. Furthermore, he already lost. Ukraine will prevail, #UkraineWillWin.
3/ Secondly, to request all #Ukrainians and all friends of #Ukraine in possession of films in danger of deterioration to consider the Centre Film Fund as a possible repository. Your films could be safeguarded there for future generations.

BREAKING: A gloomy, overcast day in #Kiev. #Ukraine's capital stands precariously at the edge of #war. #Russian president Vladimir #Putin declared a military offensive earlier today. There are reports of shelling, air strikes and casualties across Ukraine. A developing 🧵. 1/
Speaking to @SkyNewsBreak, a former Vice PM of #Ukraine warned that Putin won't stop at Kyiv. She reported shelling and bombing in Kyiv, where she resides, and appealed for swift, decisive action from the West. Notably, she mentioned the #SWIFT payments system as a tool. 2/
No one can doubt the resolve of the Ukrainian people in the face of adversity. But their #military is no match for #Russia. So cutting them off from the SWIFT payments settlement system could force the Russians into stepping back. But will the #US and #EU take that step? 3/

IL DIVO (Paolo Sorrentino, 2008). I thought I’d seen this before, but now I’m not so sure. Either way, it felt like something of a companion piece to THE CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE. A strangely compelling film. Image
Another film that hits harder second (or third?) time around:
Andrea Arnold’s RED ROAD (2006) featuring the always excellent Kate Dickie. Image
THE NEST (Sean Durkin, 2020). Why aren’t more people talking about Carrie Coon as a potential awards contender or have I completely missed that conversation? One of the best performances I’ve seen over the past year. Image

Parasite movie is not about the contrast in standard of living between rich & poor, it is about surveillance. So does the poster with eye stripe. #Parasite #movies #Films #Cinema #surveillance Image

My answer to Why are most of the Indian animation movies and series story line is around religious characters? quora.com/Why-are-most-o… #animation #films #movies #cinema #3danimation #religion
Marvel comics was founded in 1939. DC comics was founded in 1934. The character Batman and Joker from DC comics have been produced in so many comics, tv series, movies and 2d animations. Every time it has been produced, the story line and
the character have been through improvisation. The results clearly reflect on the screen in recent DC Movies.

Making a movie in Bollywood is a high risk business due to huge commitments. This is the reason we often seen successful regional movies are

The tale of Tom Thumb is one of the earliest fairytales to be printed in English. In one of his exploits he is eaten by a cow as he hides under a thistle. In some versions the cow spits him out but in others his parents wait for him to be deposited via a cowpat! #FolkloreThursday
The tale of Tom Thumb tells that the Fairy Queen was present at Tom's birth and named him. She decreed that he must be dressed by these instructions:
"An oak-leaf hat he had for his crown;
His shirt of web, by spiders spun:
His jacket wove of thistle's down..." #FolkloreThursday
There have been several #films made of the story of Tom Thumb including the 1958 musical directed by George Pal (released by MGM) starring Russ Tamblyn, June Thorburn, Peter Sellers and Terry-Thomas. #FolkloreThursday
