Documentary on garbage disposal honoured abroad GUWAHATI, Dec 26 - Finding Beauty in Garbage, a documentary on the pathetic garbage disposal system in Dibrugarh town, won the Best Documentary award at the Asia South East Short Film Festival at Phnom Penh, Cambodia, recently. It has also been selected for screening at the Ooty Film Festival, Short and Sweet Film Festival at Utah, USA, and Bengal International Film Festival, Kolkata. “It is basically a satire on the menace of garbage pollution in general and in the city of Dibrugarh, known as the ‘Tea Capital’ of India, in particular. The film not only mocks at the fragile civic amenities in the city, like lack of garbage bins or total apathy towards cleaning them by the municipality, but also shows the mirror to the people for their habit of littering garbage all over without a second thought,” Satyakam Dutta, the documentary-maker and a 2013 batch IRS Officer, said.
Dutta, who calls it a ‘mockumentary’, said that it was an attempt at sensitising citizens as also the authorities towards better upkeep of the cleanliness of the city of Dibrugarh. “We will release the documentary on YouTube on January 1, 2019,” he added. – Staff Reporter (The Assam Tribune,27.12.2018) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ সমাজৰ কাৰণে ভাল কাম কৰাজনৰ পৰিচয় ৰাইজৰ আগত দাঙি ধৰিব লাগে আৰু ভাল খবৰবোৰ যিমান পাৰি ৰাইজৰ মাজত বিলাব লাগে।---- বুলজিৎ বুঢ়াগোহাঁই _______________________________________________ Assam mailing list [email protected] http://lists.assamnet.org/listinfo.cgi/assam-assamnet.org
