‘Midnight at the Paradise’ is a Love Letter to Film, Music, and the City of Toronto
'Midnight at the Paradise' premieres tomorrow at Toronto's Paradise Theatre! I had the pleasure to sit down with Vanessa Matsui to discuss the making of this film.
The New Generation Baul
"Notun Projonmer Baul which means The New Generation Baul is my journey into the Baul world, it was made in the year 2003. I was deeply 'effected', by the Baul Philosophy and their Music. Bauls are Mendicants or Bards in search of the, "Moner Manush", or the Man after my heart. They have deep suspicion of all man made boundaries and believe in the religion of mankind. Their world has no Maps or Countries, they believe in the religion of mankind, for them the worshipper and the shrine, reside inside the body and one has to dive deep below to soar beyond. Their songs are very esoteric and deeply spiritual." - Bonnie Chakraborty (Director)
