ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE" & “"PARADISE LOST" have been premiered on Friday, 5th February, at Hoyts, Woden

“PARADISE LOST” While two nations celebrate 26th of January, a mother and a girlfriend grieve. In memory of those who have lost their lives to violence.

"ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE" is about three teachers and their journey. It takes place in Canberra (Australia) and Kolkata (India). It's a story about the resilience and courage of teachers who believe in public education. The film has been made with the support, cooperation and involvement of local talents who have great passion, interest and love for this visual medium. This film has also provided an opportunity for local actors to gain screen acting experience. Our main actors in the film, Hanna Cormick, Melanie Faris, Rubik Roy, and Arun Basu are residents of Canberra. There was also a special appearance by veteran Indian actor Sunil Sarkar. The cinematographer Qing Meng, and sound recordist Ken Ochiai were both Master of Filmmaking students from Sydney University. The Indian contingent includes Subhankar Bhar (Camera), Arpan Kayet & Joydev Sahoo (sound), Pinka Kundu & Joy Sardar (Light). The soundtrack to this film has been created by local musician Cicilia Kemezys and her music troupe, which includes Paul Santiago (guitar), Jorge Bontes (voice and percussion), Peter Swain (didgeridoo). The other talented composer who has very kindly allowed us to use his music in our film is Nitin Dubey from India. Local singer Arun Basu has sang Mr Dubey’s composition. The film was edited by Stefan Kussy. The Premiere was held on Friday, the 5th of February, when the two films ‘Another Day in Paradise’ & ‘Paradise Lost’ were shared with cast, crew & Canberra film enthusiasts.
