Got a music film to
show?
San Francisco's Noise Pop
Film Festival is seeking narrative feature, documentary, short,
animation, experimental and music video for a
festival from February 27 to March 3. The big rule is: the
work must have a connection to music, either in its subject, in the
talent behind or in front of the camera, or a prominent soundtrack.
Go to Noisepop for more details. No entry fee. (Posting: Karan

Free healthcare for musicians
Ananya,
the Bangalore-based cultural organisation, has launched
a programme to provide free medical care for
musicians.
Over 50 doctors have volunteered their services
for Arogyadhara. About 50 musicians performed on a
pleasant, cool Saturday evening (October 8) to raise money for the
programme.
Lalgudi Jayaraman, U R
Anantha Murthy and other celebrities attended the formal launch of
the programme on December 8. They praised the efforts of Ananya,
whose moving spirit R V Raghavendra said the programme would be
extended to the districts as well.
Arogyadhara has enlisted
the services of doctors from various disciplines. The chairman of
the Arogyadhara fund is industrialist B N S Rao.
Ananya also
honoured Lalgudi at the ceremony. "Music is meant to create
happiness. It can create harmony among people," he said at the
Ravinda Kalakshetra concert.
Music lovers in Bangalore are
familiar with the calendars Ananya brings out. Each year it
publishes calendars with pictures of well-known musicians. The 2002
calendar, with swaramala paintings, was released at a ceremony where
R K Srikantan and Kadri Gopalnath were
present.
