Nil
Nirjane
(Vacation Blues)
Nil Nirjane is
the first digital full-length feature film made in India. It
has been shot entirely on digital video format and later
converted into celluloid, with astounding results. This is
also a film which has used sync sound after a long time in an
Indian film. Says the director Subrata Sen, “This was an
experiment for all us to try out the technology that has
emerged as a boon for the independent filmmakers. With the
final print in hand, we can now say that Nil Nirjane is a path
breaking movie in Indian context.”
Nil Nirjane is set in a holiday
resort where several people have come to spend their weekend. An
interesting urban milieu far away from the humdrums of Kolkata is
created in the film where we see an unwed mother with an adolescent
daughter, a widower father with an adolescent daughter and an unwed
couple. While relationships among unknown people start developing,
the manager of the resort leads a slow life and gets entangled with
a tribal girl. Suddenly Cactus band group arrives in the resort to
shoot for their music video album and the serenity of the place is
disturbed…
