Konkani magazine to document role of Goans in Bollywood
A special Diwali issue of the Konkani monthly magazine," Bimb" documenting the role of Goans in the Indian film industry would be published during the first week of November, 2004.
The noted Goan Konkani writer, publisher and chief editor of "Bimb", Mr Dilip Borkar addressing a press conference, today, said that as the state is gearing up to organise the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Bimb has decided to come out with this
special Diwali issue coinciding with the mega film event.
The Konkani people from Mangueshkar family to K Vaikunth and Shyam Benegal to Girish Karnad have contributed immensely in almost every area of the film
production, and the issue would be a tribute to their talent, he said.
Mr Borkar also appealed to the people all over the country to send information, articles, photographs and other relevant material to "Bimb", in Konkani, Marathi, English or Hindi by October 15. If needed, the articles would duly be translated into Konkani and the
300-page issue will hit the book-stalls in the first week of November, he said.
The documentation will be a collectors issue and would prove helpful to film critics, film researchers, lovers of films, and readers in general, he added. The issue will also contain rare photographs, information about the film movement in Goa and coverage about the
Goa film festivals organised by the department of information and publicity.
Further speaking, Mr Borkar said that the list of all the people belonging to the regions having Konkani-speaking people is ready and the work to collect data about them is also in progress. �However, voluntary help from various sources in this matter would prove to be greatly helpful,� he said.
The total budget for the project is to the tune of Rs 5 lakh, he informed, adding that the issue would not compromise on any aspect of quality.
Mr Borkar can be contacted for further details at Bimb Publications, GSB-3, Housing Board Colony, Porvorim, Goa - 403 521 or e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The executive editor of "Bimb", Ms Prashanti Talpankar and the marketing manager, Ms Kamini Kini were also present at the press conference.
