Enjoy the podcast from Pramesh, Ravi and Edwin sharing on the making of the songs “Because of You” and “Hey Ningthibee”

It is amazing to listen to their story on how they developed their passion in the music world, from Ravi learning the drum without a drum, recording songs at home chasing their dream practicing during lunch time with a “Never give up” attitude. And it is very interesting how each of them got together and worked for this project.

These are young people with different background getting together by a common passion of making music. I am so inspired with young talents and their aspirations and hope to do something for them to produce more music connecting all of us.

Episode 038 FindingTheVoices : Sonia Nepram sharing about making of the Manipuri documentary movie Gun and a God

/ Monica Ingudam / 2 Comments

Presenting the podcast of Sonia Nepram sharing about making of the Manipuri documentary movie Gun and a God. It is interesting to hear the aspects of making documentary movies in getting closer to the subject, living the life and story. I am proud to see woman director coming up making movies from woman’s point of view. Hats off to the wonderful team of “Gun and a God” in bringing out the voice and story of Purnima. This could have happened to anyone of us.

“Gun and a God” is an endeavor to explore a cosmos of conflict through the lives of women.

Purnima is having the best of her evenings with her inmates in a jail room. Yet her every laughs and giggles are concealing a grave conflict. The visiting hours in the jail are dreadful with no one to visit her. These are the times when she finds herself asking who she is.

Tagged as a “disgraced inheritance”, from an unknown father to a mentally unfit mother, her childhood was chastised. The reality of being an illegitimate child haunts during her teens and when she was married, it crucified her.

A “Gun and a God” is the journey a woman, whose will was forged by the structural violence of her existence, who finally finds her voice in a Gun and justice in a God.

Episode 037 FindingTheVoices : Bhumenjoy Konsam sharing about making of the Manipuri animated movie Keibu-kei-oiba

/ Monica Ingudam / 3 Comments

This podcast  (in Meitei-Lon/Manipuri language) details the making of Manipuri animated movie Keibu-kei-oiba (The man who turns into a tiger) which is based on a popular Manipuri folktale by Bhumenjoy Konsam. I watched the movie with my kids. We enjoyed it and loved it. I was amazed that they sat through the whole movies and now they are running all over playing “Thong Handok-o, Thong Handok-o”

This episode is all about the making of the movie Keibu-kei-oiba , Bhumenjoy shares the challenges in making the story as an animated movie, developing, building, designing up each character, each scene creating from a blank frame to creating everything from scratch making the 84 minutes movie. It is amazing to hear about the voice over details for each of the characters.

The whole team put a lot of effort in making this movie, consulting and researching so that it is presented very authentic in terms of music, even the musical instrument and script used. Hats off to the whole team. Thanks for this wonderful gift to the Manipuri community.

In the previous Episode 36 Bhumenjoy Konsam, shared about himself, about how his career shaped from studying from Chemistry to Multimedia, choosing career between a low paying Multimedia job of Rs 2500 versus a Govt. Job as Army officer of Rs 8000. Even though it was a tough path to follow and choose his passion, despite raising eyebrows from people in leaving the traditional path, Bhumenjoy followed his passion.
