Akaler Shandhaney
''Akaler Shandhaney'' ( bn, আকালের সন্ধানে; "In Search of Famine") is a 1982 Indian Bengali film directed by Mrinal Sen. Plot In September 1980, a film crew comes to a village to make a film about a famine, which killed five million Bangalis in 1943. It was a man-made famine, a side-product of the war, and the film crew will create the tragedy of those millions who died of starvation. The film documents the convivial life among the film crew and the hazards, problems and tension of filmmaking on location. The actors live a double life, and the villagers, both simple and not-so-simple, flock to watch their work with wonder and suspicion. But as the film progresses, the recreated past begins to confront the present. The uneasy coexistence of 1943 and 1980 reveals a bizarre connection, involving a village woman whose visions add a further dimension of time—that of the future. A disturbing situation, indeed, for the "famine-seekers"! Cast *Dhritiman ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
