Be a mebber of JOHN ABRHAM BANNERS


Documentary Film on a crow lover

Samanyashastram is going to produce films on ordinary people
we, Samanyashastram friends are inspired with the John Abraham, a kerela director who founded the Odessa Movies that came into existence in 1986. It was an attempt by a group of movie enthusiasts to change the history of film production and distribution by making it a collaborative effort with the public and thus act as an empowering and liberating medium. Their first film, Amma Ariyan, was produced with contributions from the general public and the film was screened on a non-commercial basis throughout the state.

Documenatry on a friend of crows
we, tributing John Abrham on 31 may 2007 published a book on him and organised a memorial meeting in Ramnagar of Hyderabad. And now planning to produce a 30 mt documentary film on
Srinivasa Rao, a shipyard labour at vizag who is known for a friend of crows in the town.

Donate Rs.100 and be in the collective
Samanyashastram naming John Abrham banner, want to found a Collective, aiming at production and exhibition of films on ordinary people with active participation of the general public, without the intervention of market forces. Therefore we request individual donations for the cause of community film making besides Samanyashastram books.
