About the films
-----------------
Susant Mishra's Indradhanura Chhai (Shadows of the Rainbow ) shows how urbanization and the consequent rise of modern consumerism have affected the traditional social and family structures in Bhubaneswar. Against the backdrop of this changing cityscape, Indradhanura Chhai explores the multidimensional conflicts of its characters, their changing perceptions about human nature and personal relationships. With hypnotic visual rhythms, Susant Mishra shows the lives of three women living in the modernizing town of Bhubaneswar, its skyline dominated by magnificent temple architecture.
In Aw Aakare Aa (A, B, She), Subas Das has tried to express the pain and agony of children entrapped inside the four walls of our present education system. The film is the story of a school teacher and her attempts to reform the system in vain. Refusing to compromise, she finally resigns and starts her own school to translate her ideas into reality.
About Bakul Foundation

Bakul Foundation is a movement to pool together the small individual efforts of all the people interested in the social development of Orissa.
As the first major initiative, we have started a movement to get a thousand of us (to begin with) to contribute in small ways to set up excellent children's libraries and creative learning centres in Bhubaneswar by April 1, 2007.
