RIP Sashi Anand sadly passed away somedays ago. His cremation was held today. He was a close friend and an active member of the Chitrabani in its foundational days in the mid-'70s. Here are some photos from my archive of this excellent filmmaker/photographer in Chitrabani with Shyam Benegal, with Fr Gaston Roberge and another of him charming the child talent of a training film we were working on back then. You will be greatly missed Sashi.

Found this one in my archive. Cliff Richard, 1975. On his own at Kalamandir, Kolkata. Chitrabani did the sound for Cliff's memorial visit. Behind the mixer was Mohi Tikari. I did the Pics. Thinking about it, that was 50 years ago

Child actors crowd around Fr Gaston's hi-tech Beaulieu motorised 16mm turret camera. One of a kind in Calcutta at that time. March 1975. In 3 weeks the world changed for those lovely kids and Ram Pandey their teacher as they became celebrities in their quiet little village in just 3 weeks.

Devlin Bose holding a home made reflector on set of Chitrabani's first B&W 16mm film production. March 1975. In the right bottom corner looking back towards camera while holding a camera and keeping "Continuity" is the lovely Moon Moon Sen with a wet scarf around her head to protect against the oppressive heat.
