------------------------------------------------------ MOVING IMAGES This Friday's Screening Bhaile & Nexus of Silence ------------------------------------------------------ Bhail� - The Outsiders Director Ajay Noronha, 2001, 40 minutes
Nexus of Silence A Tehelka Expos�, August 2004, 45 minutes
Screening on 5th November 2004 Venue: International Centre Goa, Dona Paula Time: 6:30 pm
Bhail� is an attempt to illustrate the occurrence of tourism related child sex abuse in India, using Goa as a case in point. It speaks to a cross-section of Goans and concerned individuals elsewhere in order to discuss as comprehensively the issues involved, its driving force being the innocence of the child.
The director Ajay Noronha and associate director R.Sarada will attend the screening and respond to discussions. Ajay Noronha is a recipient of the Goa Sudharop award for his courageous award-winning documentary on paedophilia arising from tourism in Goa.
Besides screenings in Goa, the documentary has been well received at the NCPA,Bombay, Indian Habitat Centre,New Delhi, UNICEF S East Conf on Prevention of Child Sex Tourism, Dhaka, S Asian Film Festival, USA and the WSF Film Festival, Bombay.
'Nexus of Silence' is the result of a five-month undercover investigation conducted by Tehelka which has revealed that hundreds of Europeans - British, Germans, Dutch, French, Swiss and Swedish - visit Goa to seek children for sexual gratification. They come to Goa because it is easy, and cheap, to sexually abuse a child here. On the run after crackdowns on cheap child-sex tourism in Thailand and Sri Lanka, the paedophile bus has rolled into Goa. And turned the picture-postcard tourism destination into an arena of perversity and of horrors. Goa has made an alarming transition from being a laid-back resort to a paedophile's paradise. ============================================ We deeply regret that due to strict limitations imposed by law we are forced to restrict screening for Members of Moving Images only.
