MANUS
Satyajit Pande
Is a cinematographer and a photographer. He lives and works in Mumbai.
Manus is the anatomical name for the terminal segment of a forelimb - in humans, the hand and wrist. In colloquial Hindi and Marathi, two languages spoken extensively in Mumbai, 'manus' also means 'human being'. Mumbai's suburban railway network ferries millions of commuters every day, and epitomises the tenuous grip that the inhabitants of Mumbai have on their city. Hands in trains create constellations of accidental intimacy, enter found solidarities, speak a vocabulary of silent gestures. A routine of handclasps anchors and cushions the daily uncertainties of a dense metropolis.
Production credits: Camera: Setu/Satyajit Pande, Editing: Shan Mohammed Thanks: Amit Choudhury, Surabhi Sharma, Kavita Pai, Sunil Shanbag, Amitabh Kumar |

Selection made by Shazeb Shaikh, Curator and Founder Street Festival of Home made Videos.
Shazeb S. is the Founder of Conjure Arts and Media, an upcoming integrated arts business based out of Mumbai and New York. With Conjure, Shazeb aims to put together an artist community with a wide focus across art forms, media and genre to promote the works of established and upcoming global artists and their collaborations to produce releases and exhibitions in film, music, writings, social projects, visual and installation art. Though still in its first year [2010], Conjure has already produced a feature length film in India [Kshay] and a medium length film [Stealing Suburbia] in New York besides looking forward to unleash its first global integrated arts exhibition with the launch of a large format coffee table book titled Dispersed Diaries which brings together poetry, art, music and videos. With this financially-backed artist collective and arthouse [Conjure], the motive is to create a new channel to market art internationally with a sound business-end created by some of India's top business strategy and management consultants. Shazeb is partnering this new regrouping of artists and hopes to bring on multiple unique artists in different media while maintaining the purity and essence of creativity. In the past, Shazeb S. has established 3rd Thought Entertainment, an integrated-arthouse with a global artist collective of 32 artists from 14 countries. Shazeb is a multidisciplinary artist with a body of work in art [traditional and digital], music [IDM], and writings [classical poetry, epic poetry, prose] and films. He is also a co-curator at CeC 2011 [Carnival of e-Creativity], an annual global occasion to collectively seek out, manifest, learn from, connect with and enjoy a studied broad canvas of cutting-edge participation & content from India and the world, addressing the Creative Empowerment of Individuals by the burgeoning spread of Technology across multiple streams of human endeavour.
