"Collective Chaos is a non-profit forum of filmmakers, artists, writers and film enthusiasts to promote meaningful cinema. The collective promotes values of a multi-cultural and a plural world."
That's where I had been this weekend. They screened four films, all by
Mungaara Mugilu (Monsoon Cloud) by M.S Prakash Babu was the one that impressed me the most."Often what we imagine turns out to be unreal. What we believe turns out to be false. What we see does not exist. But do we stop imagining?" That was the message it intended convey and it was amazingly put forth…..If at you get a chance to see it, don’t miss it.
Rastriy Kheer & Desiy Salad in black and white gave it the look of the 60’s. “Recent history was distanced and treated as excavated past.” The sound effects, the fast-forwarded actions, and the textual narration in between scenes gave it the Charlie-Chaplin touch. It offered eleven minutes of humour for a change.
The directors of these films were present at the venue too and they added a few words to their films that needed none.
All in all, I was impressed with the organization and the films they screened.
More details about Collective Chaos:
- They have 2-3 screenings every month (on 2nd and 4th Saturdays mostly).

It's taking me some time to get used to the fact that you live in Bangalore now.
Nice post, good photos, regret having to work 6 days a week :-(
@ musafir:
dude...I am actually getting a lot of time to live here. I would be happier if I got the same time living in Chennai.
My situation is similar to that of a blue whale that has moved from the southern ocean to the atlantic. There is so much to munch, but as you know I am a herbivore (in every sense). So I am not letting the opportunities go by. ;)
Sounds very interesting indeed. Would love to go for one of these. Am going to keep my eyes open ...
@ .:a:.:
Sure do. Am sure you will like them.
They screen a wide range of films.
Be it italian, spanish, hindi, kannada, or none at all.
You can check out their schedule to get a better picture of what I am talking about:

Hey wait a second...Will all this info be of any use to you at all?
Anyway... If you are a blore-ian, enjoy. If not, see what your are missing.
Interesting post...
Is Bangalore a nice place to live?
Keshi.
damn.. i wish i was in b'lore. you sound like you are having fun! good for you. i'm glad that you are having a real life (as opposed to just going to work and back!)
@ keshi:
thanks for dropping by.
Hmmm...Bangalore sure is a nice place to live. This city that is different when compared to the metros of India. If you have lived the chunk of you life, along the coast (like me), the you sure will miss the one thing that I am missing....There are no beaches here.
There are a lot of jobless software engineers here. People get to pursue their varied interests in a way.
lolll alot of jobless s/w engineer...that's awful isnt it. Hey I alway slived near the water, so yep I sure will miss the beaches and I cant take it :)
Keshi.
Oh sounds awesome.Gonna check it out for sure.
