Five No Budget Films (2010)
Plot Summary:
Little Fish Eat Big Fish is a Kolkata based group of no-budget film makers. The latest venture of the group is the 5 no-budget short films produced in 2009-10. They opted for a direct to DVD release in the last Kolkata Book Fair. Details for the five short films in the DVD are provided below. 1) The Sandbook --- A short fiction by Snigdhendu Bhattacharya. The film is an adoption of a short story by Jorge Luis Borges. The story moves with the landing of an amazing book in the hand of a scholer, who tries to understand "the internal ties in events occuring" in and around the book in order to go through it. The film is a melodramatic interpretation of the story within a very limited budget.2) Jean-Luc Godard Had No Script -- A no-budget fiction by Anamitra Roy. The film approaches the larger history of politically conscious films in a mimetic way. The title of the film is a bit exploitative as it is neither a spoof and has been made with a very tight script.3) ...Or A Horror film -- A.
