Our Production Company: Parallel Cinema (link)
Omission is only the beginning. We have more stories to tell about the lives of the others. These strange aliens formed in other cultures who tear themselves away from their roots to start again. We want to tell stories both here in Australia and back in Bangladesh and India.
To warehouse and support our work, we have set up a production entity called Parallel Cinema (www.parallelcinema.com). There are a couple of reasons for the name:
- We tell stories about the ‘other’; about individuals who are living lives that are in parallel to the mainstream, that follow in the same direction, but for some fundamental reasons, are apart.
- I’ve been nourished by that great tradition of art cinema in Bangla that happened around Kolkata with Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen etc. This was often known as the Indian New Wave and happened at the same time as the French New Wave. That movement was most often known as ‘parallel cinema’: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Cinema
Our logo, which combines the humanism of the sub-continent, and marries with it the precision of the west is below.
This is only the beginning and we need your support.

The first step in fulfilling some long term goals.
