MORE ON "Samarpan"
---------------------------------------
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Smt. Veena Sahasrabuddhe is one of the world's leading exponents of Khayal style of Hindustani music. Born into a family of musicians, she started her musical education with Kathak dance. Her father, late Pundit Shankar Shripad Bodas, was a disciple of Pundit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar. She was initiated into Khayal singing by her father and her brother, late Pundit Kashinath Shankar Bodas. Padmashri Balwantrai Bhatt, late Pundit Vasant Thakar and late Pundit Gajananbua Joshi have also contributed to her education.
The style she has created for herself retains the fundamental values of Gwalior Gharana while borrowing somewhat from Kirana and Jaipur gharanas. The vidwans laud the authenticity of her music while most listeners are moved by its directness and intensity. Apart from Khayal, she is sought after for her rich repertoire of bhajans.
She has sung at all the prestigious venues and occasions including Tansen Samaroh in Gwalior and Sawai Gandharva in Pune. At the Vokalfestival in Stockholm and at the Voices of the World festival in Copenhagen she represented Indian Classical Voice. She has recordings under many leading labels. She has been awarded the Uttar Pradesh Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for the year 1993.
Besides being a popular performer, she is also a composer and a teacher. Her compositions adorn many of her recordings. She has taught voice at institutions as well as privately. For two year between 2002 and 2004, she was an Adjunct Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Several of her students have received private, national or international scholarships to study with her.

ABOUT Hindustani Classical Music
Indian classical music is categorized under the two genres of Hindustani and Carnatic music. Hindustani music is popular in North India and is considered one of the oldest systems of music in the world and can be traced back to 2500 years ago. The central notion in both the forms is that a melodic mode or raga is sung to a rhythmic cycle or tala.
Dhrupad, Khayal and Thumri are the main classifications under Hindustani music. Dhrupad is more ancient and is primarily devotional in theme and content with lyrics in Sanskrit or braja-bhasha. Khayal is more free-form style of singing influenced by medieval Persian music. The lyrics are of emotional content depicting love, intense feeling or situation of ethological significance. Thumri is semi classical vocal form where lyrics are typically in a proto-Hindi and content is usually romantic.
---------------------------------------
ABOUT SPICMACAY:
SPICMACAY is a movement formed to help disseminate the best of India's and the world's classical heritage with their attendant legends, rituals, mythology and philosophy in educational institutions. It seeks to conserve and promote an awareness of this rich and heterogeneous cultural tapestry amongst the youth through focus on the classical arts, and to facilitate an awareness of their deeper and subtler values. The UCLA chapter of SPICMACAY is a non-profit voluntary student group.

- Melnitz Movies and The Crank Film Society present Jacques Cousteau and Louis Malle's THE SILENT WORLD (1956), the rarely screened winner of an Academy Award for Best Documentary and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. A technological marvel of underwater cinematography, the film is full of breathtaking images of coral reefs, expansive blue seascapes, sunken boats crawling with sea life, and a hundred-fold school of porpoises jetting out of the water alongside Cousteau. But be warned: the film contains many disturbing images of harmful and wanton destruction to ocean life by Cousteau and his crew. Nevertheless, THE SILENT WORLD is still a wonder to see on the big screen.
CO-DIRECTORS: Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Louis Malle
WRITER: Cousteau

- Winner of the Palme d'or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, Laurent Cantet's THE CLASS follows Francois, a teacher who insists on an atmosphere of respect and whose frankness often takes his students by surprise. But his classroom ethics are eventually put to the test when his students begin to challenge his methods. The film examines how cultures and attitudes can clash in the classroom, offering a microcosm of contemporary France. With assured direction, a deft handling of difficult subject matter, and moving performances from an ensemble of non-professional actors, THE CLASS is one of the best films of the year. It has been selected as France's entry in the 2009 Academy Awards' foreign language film category.
