Does Anybody Know About Tiff?

Does anybody know about TIFF?

I am sure that there will be a large percentage of people who do not even know that the 33rd Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is going on these days. Its not your fault and I will not blame you on that as you can only see what our media wants you to see. And they will show the thing which will increase their TRP. What do they have to do now with the modern day Gandhi Kiran Bedi? They hardly care about anything related to her. Again, is it only media or someone behind them? Well, what should I do? I can’t just stop looking at the incompetence of media and as a result mostly in every article of mine they make their place.

You must be thinking that what is the connection between TIFF and Kiran Bedi? Well, here the story unveils. The 33rd Toronto International Film Festival will screen the World Premiere of Yes Madam, Sir, a compelling feature-length documentary about the extraordinary life of India’s first female police officer, Kiran Bedi, known to many as the modern day Gandhi.

Written, directed and photographed solely by Australian filmmaker Megan Doneman, filmed over six years, edited from 500 hours of footage and often involving perilous international travel and situations. Academy Award winning actor Helen Mirren (The Queen) lends her commanding voice as narrator of the film and acclaimed composer Nathan Larson (2004 Cannes Film Festival Winner for The Woodsman) provides the score.

Asia Noble Prize winner, Bedi is adored by the masses and vilified by her critics. She has publicly fought high-level corruption, feudalistic bureaucracies and brutal opposition, all of which has come at great personal and professional cost. Yes Madam, Sir follows this remarkable humanitarian for six years, presenting her in the most intimate and revealing light.  

Despite having no industry funding or crew to produce the project, Doneman traveled alone to India in 1999 on a mission to meet the woman she had first read about when she was just 13 years of age. Attracted to Bedi’s extraordinary courage and intrigued by the inherent contradictions in her character, Doneman’s desire was to produce a world-class documentary that would profile Bedi in the most probing style possible.

Even being robbed of her every possession on an overnight train to Delhi would not stop this auteur from realizing her vision. Bedi, who had spent her life trying to achieve the impossible, was instantly intrigued as to how this young filmmaker was going to pull off the task. Already approached by many esteemed filmmakers, Bedi agreed to allow Doneman to exclusively tell her story. Filming began in 2001; an intensive process which saw Doneman assume the role of writer, director, producer, cinematographer, sound recordist and editor.

As the size and significance of the project grew, private investors offered financial assistance. This enabled Doneman to complete the final stages of the production with the quality and integrity that she has pursued throughout her many years of experience in the film industry. Doneman soon found herself a participant in a journey that had grown in scale more quickly than she could have envisaged.

Assisted by additonal editor Annie Collins (The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King), Doneman sifted through countless reels of footage to produce the resulting masterpiece Yes Madam, Sir.  The film has been selected to screen in the much coveted opening weekend of the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. It is part of the Festival’s Real to Reel program, showcasing this year’s Top 20 finest non-fiction films in the world. You can get more information about the event at www.tiff08.ca.

Along with that, I promise that next time I will make a conscious effort not to indulge our media in it. But again, if the story in any way would be related to them then it would be bound to happen again. And if that would be the case then I apologize for it in advance.
