Calcutta, Dec 25 :     Magician P. C. Sorcar (senior)?s eldest son, Denver-based Manick Sorcar?s laser animation show on Calcutta is one of the highlights of the 11-day, NRI-sponsored Biswa Banga Sammelan beginning in the city on Wednesday. Sorcar?s laser show ? Calcutta Forever ? is the first laser animation based on a theme to be screened at Nandan, which bags the honour of being the first Indian theatre to do so. The laser show, along with Sorcar?s other animation films, will be screened at Nandan on January 1 and 2. The eight-minute laser fantasy is viewed through the eyes of a caterpillar and begins with Job Charnock?s arrival in Calcutta in 1690. The laser show traces Bengali culture over a span of more than 300 years and includes personalities ranging from Raja Rammohun Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Rabindranath Tagore to ?namesake? Satyajit Ray, Amartya Sen and Jyoti Basu. ?I will have to make a few changes and include Bidhan Chandra Roy, architect of modern Bengal, whom I overlooked,? said Sorcar at a press conference on Saturday. His laser fantasy on Calcutta will be screened along with his other animations ?- Deepa and Rupa, a fairy tale; Sage and the Mouse and The Woodcutter?s Daughter; Tales from the Panchatantra, and Gandhabichar from Sukumar Ray?s Abol Tabol. Sorcar?s animations are prized in the US and are shown in elementary schools and educational public television channels on a regular basis. Sorcar considers it his greatest reward that his animations teach American children of diverse origins positive values through the medium of Indian culture. His animation film, Gandhabichar, is the first animation from Abol Tabol to be shown on television. Sorcar said he was grateful to the Biswa Banga Sammelan for inviting him to screen his animations in India.
