Title: BREAKING NEWS
Director and Writer: Johnnie To
Synopsis: Breaking News, A live broadcast of a Hong Kong officer’s cowardly surrender to bank robbers leads to a credibility crisis, making the cops realize the important of a media-fed war. When the robbers are found holed up, a PR event is created with streaming videos, journalist briefings and inputs from a filmmaker, but the robbers start their own media spectacle with online leakages. The game of chess ends in a dramatic minibus chase, but not before it gives us a satirical glimpse of the media circus that follows any Breaking News.

Strange Circus
In the words of Elvis Presley- we have rhythm and baby we have it all over us. This weekend, Bangalore Film Society in collaboration with PassionForCinema.com are proud to present ‘Strange Circus’- three days of that perfect collusion of time, space, music and cinema- a combination that is bonafide potent delirium. The greatest of artists as seen, remembered and captured by great film-makers. This time it’s, Be there or be……
Friday 24th July, 2009 Time: 6.30pm
Don’t Look Back (1967/96min) Dir: D.A. Pennebaker
D. A Pennebaker almost got there in 1967 and never has it happened ever since. Not even the great Scorsese or Todd Haynes could come any closer. No one could capture Bob Dylan’s mystical, mercurial personality on cinema ever but Pennebaker came the closest and in the process elevated the rockumentary to an art form. His fly-on-the-wall camera (Godard called him one of the greatest cinematographers ever) captures images, scenes and performances of Dylan and his posse that went down in history as seminal stuff. And somewhere among it all, is the truth about Bob Dylan.
Saturday 25th July, 2009 Time: 6.45pm
Leaving Home (2009/114min) Dir: Jaideep Verma
THE GREAT BANGALORE PREMIERE
Indian Ocean is a phenomenon. That they’ve been together all these years and have always come up with music and performances that border on sheer ecstasy is a paean to their amazing and total dedication to the art. Director Jaideep Verma, who last year gave us the zanily great yet regrettably underrated cult flick ‘Hulla’ now chronicles the amazing story of four guys who have stuck together, made it together and have together come up with some of the greatest contemporary tunes. ‘Leaving Home’ features the band, the music and family, their collaborators and friends- an eclectic group featuring Prannoy Roy, Nandita Das, Anurag Kashyap among others. ‘Leaving Home’ is that rarest beast of Indian Filmmaking- a full feature length music documentary. And a great one at that.
Sunday 26th July, 2009 Time: 6.15pm
The Blues Brothers (1980/130min) Dir: John Landis
Ladies & Gentlemen, from Rock Island Island, Illinois introducing Elwood and ‘Joilet’ Jake Blues… the Blues Brothers. The Fabulous John Landis and his jiving crew put on a show that will have you tapping your feet until you can’t tap anymore. James ‘Soul Brother No.1’ Brown, John Lee Hooker, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and whole host of others team up with the Blues Brothers for one big bonanza… a blues carnival that will have laughing, singing, dancing all the way back home. After all- everybody needs somebody to love. A perennial BFS favorite. In the immortal words of Mr. T- we don’t screen the Blues Brothers, WE SCREAM THE BLUES BROTHERS.
Venue: Ashirvad, 30, St. Mark’s Road cross, Op. State Bank of India

Habba literally denotes festival in Kannada – the local State language of Karnataka. The Bengaluru Habba aims to provide valuable and aesthetic entertainment at no cost for the audiences. We hope to expose youth to the joy of live traditional performing and visual arts and crafts and to make Bengaluru a culturally vibrant place. Classical dance performances, Carnatic & Hindustani music recitals, Folk dances, English & Regional theatre productions, Craft melas and Sports competitions add to the grandeur of the festival at multiple venues in the city. Internationally, nationally and locally acclaimed artists grace the Habba’s stage.
Ronu Majumdar & Kadri Gopalnath, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Rahul Sharma, Lillette Dubey, Kala Madhyam artisans, EVAM productions, Galeej Gurus, and Aditi Mangaldas, Shaan, Sukhwinder Singh, Pandit Birju Maharaj, Pandits Ranjan & Sajan Mishra, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasiya, Shree L. Subramanyam, Shivamani and Taufiq Quereshi have all performed at previous Bengaluru Habbas.
To mark the 6th year celebration, the Government of Karnataka has graciously agreed to adopt the Bengaluru Habba as one of the flagship festivals of the state, in partnership with the private sector. This endeavour is the first of its kind in the country where the public, private and the industrial sector have come together to present the artistic palette of India which has enthralled millions around the world.
It indeed gives us great pleasure to invite you once again to another year of festivities at the 6th Bengaluru Habba from December 4th to December 21st, 2008.
