The Last Parsis: Tales of Survival and Extinction. C) Kaevan Umrigar, 2005. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. I also began thinking about the form of the film. I reflected that my interests tended more towards documentary and realism, and since the footage wasn’t enough to shoot a documentary, I thought of making a quasi-documentary, a documentary that’s made like it were a fiction film. I also thought of putting together a cinematic essay, but I was unable to define exactly what it would be. X: Devlali and Igatpuri.

John Cage's 4' 33'': July 2008
http://cage433.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
John Cage's 4' 33'. C) Kaevan Umrigar, 2004. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. 8220;I have nothing to say / and I am saying it /. And that is / poetry / as I need it.”. John Cage, “Lecture on Nothing”. Music and I have met a few times, but we remain strangers at best. And though we have even worked together, we remain indifferent to each other, not comfortable with each other, not understanding one another, not communicating. The chemistry is just not there. Now, we are being forced to work on a film together.

Her husband was managing to pull the agiary along, she told me, though the dharamsala next door was being kept shut. She didn’t face any problem being a Parsi here. There was a water problem in Igatpuri, and she allowed them the use of water from the agiary well. People had respect for them and left them alone. Parsi house of recent vintage, Tarapore.

The Last Parsis: Tales of Survival and Extinction: VII: Solapur
http://lastparsis.blogspot.com/2008/07/vii-solapur.html
The Last Parsis: Tales of Survival and Extinction. C) Kaevan Umrigar, 2005. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. My next stop was Solapur. Solapur surprised me. I was expecting to see crowds, chaos, congestion, confusion after my experiences with Nagar and Kalyan; instead, I found wide roads, little traffic, planned houses and little noise. The thought struck me, this was how Pune must have been when it used to be called the pensioners’ paradise, though not climate-wise. Solapur was hot and sultry. Wowwhat a sad pictu...

John Cage's 4' 33'': The images
http://cage433.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-i-have-therefore-decided-to-do-is.html
John Cage's 4' 33'. C) Kaevan Umrigar, 2004. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. What I have therefore decided to do is shoot a lot of images. Some planned, some unplanned. In a variety of settings, in studio and on location. Using all the constructions of film grammar possible – camera movements, camera speeds, camera effects – sometimes conforming to them, sometimes distorting them, sometimes reinventing them. Here are a few examples, just an indicative list:. 8226; Swish pans to nothing in particular. 8226; Extr...

Notes of a Student Filmmaker: Yasujiro Ozu: An appreciation
http://kaevanswritings.blogspot.com/2009/12/yasujiro-ozu-appreciation.html
Notes of a Student Filmmaker. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Yasujiro Ozu: An appreciation. This dissertation was to have been on Aravindan. The few films I had seen of his oeuvre – Thampu, Kummaty, Esthappan – had charmed me with their deceptive simplicity, and left me with a feeling I found difficult to articulate in words. That, coupled with the paucity of written material on Aravindan and his films, made writing this dissertation a personal challenge I was eager to take on. Yasujiro Ozu: An appreciation.

Notes of a Student Filmmaker: Invisible Parsis: The poor of a prosperous community
http://kaevanswritings.blogspot.com/2009/12/invisible-parsis-poor-of-prosperous.html
Notes of a Student Filmmaker. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Invisible Parsis: The poor of a prosperous community. 8220;In the stories he’d read so far Father said that all the Parsi families were poor or middle-class, but that was okay; nor did he mind that the seeds for the stories were picked from the sufferings of their own lives; but there should also have been something positive about Parsis, there was so much to be proud of;.
