INDIA INK
Electronic India ink brought the good news from the other side of the globe. The CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI International Film accepted our movie. This is our 21st acceptance and our first in India. This win makes India the seventh nation that “The Stairs” will be shown in. For those that are counting, here is the list: USA , Canada, Slovakia, Israel, Spain, South Africa and India.
Here are some of the objectives of CSIFF.
“The festival’s main objective is to provide the opportunity for filmmakers from all over the world to excel, and to have the best work selected and showcased in a celebration of cinema, as well as to give filmmakers a platform to network amongst fellow professionals and cinematic artists. CSIFF is looking forward to fostering these relationships and to helping extraordinary filmmakers get their projects seen by global audiences. CSIFF unites cinematic, cultural, educational more over Inspirational objectives by presenting its film discoveries.”
This sounds like a beauty queen’s speech.
For those of you who are trying to learn something new on a daily basis;
1. CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI was an Indian warrior king in the seventeenth century.
2. India ink is made with soot combined with water. (Who knew!)
3. India ink was first invented in China.
4. For the old timers in the audience. Remember dipping your fountain pen into a bottle of India ink. Remember the mess. I miss this ritual. The process connected the writer to his pen and paper. Think about the joys are grandkids are missing.

It is a strong advocate for social change, and encourages cultural diversity and understanding between nations.
