His love for the old master from Eisenstein, Griffith and Plaherty right down to contemporary ones like Satyajit Ray, Bergman and Kurosowa made him embrace film culture in all aspects with a passion. Bora has a critical yet open mind about young experimental film makers of to-day and the future. He is also fully aware of the work of all present regional film makers. I am grateful to him for educating the audiences of Assam through film society shows and seminars, and now, for presenting to the world a glance at Assam's film contribution. He has given a clear view of the role Assamese films have played, their significa nce, merits and demerits right from the time of Jyotiprasad Agarwala uptill to-day, and has placed Assam on the film-map of India. I wish him all success, now and always. BHUPEN HAZARIKA • • • Original from UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AUTHOR S NOTE This is a maiden attempt to record various aspects of Cinema in Assam.
