A new five-day screenwriting course sponsored by Indian Institute of Technology, Madras has just been sponsored by the Tamil star Kamal Haasan, who drew on his friendship to attract major writers and directors like Shekhar Kapur, Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, Rituparno Ghosh, the ubiquitous Rajubali, and Jean-Claude Carriere (who has been involved with several Indian films and adapted the Mahabarata with Peter Brook as a mini-series for Channel Four in 1989).
In preparation I read Indian folk tales, modern Indian poets and novelists, stories from the Mahabarata and Ramayana and other classic texts and poems.
I can still remember, along with all the accolades, cries of anguish from people subjected to Peter Brook's day-long Mahabarata.
