East India Film Company
The East India Film Company was the first Indian film company to screen a movie at an International Film Festival. Started in 1932 in Calcutta by R. L. Khemka, it went on to be a pioneer in producing films across four regional film industries, namely Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in the decade after its founding, till then production companies were restricted regionally.〔
==History==
The company was formed in 1932 by R. L. Khemka, a local businessman, after acquiring the RCA Photophone studio, its location recording equipment, and its Mitchell Cameras. In 1933, East India Film Company's first Bengali production, ''Jamuna Puline'' was released, with Priyanath Ganguli as the director after he left the Madan Theatre. Riding on its success, the company became the first Bengali studio to venture into not just Hindi but also various South Indian languages. East India Film Company was soon producing a dozen movie releases per year, including several hits like ''Savithri'' (Telugu) and ''Ramayan'' (Tamil)
The East India Film Company's ''Seeta'', made by Debaki Bose, was the first talkie shown in an international film festival when it was shown in 1934 at the Venice Film Festival, where it won an honorary diploma. Subsequently, Bose also made his noted film, ''Sonar Sansar'' (Hindi: Sunhera Sansar) in 1936 under the East India Film Company banner.
Shot in Calcutta on a lavish budget of Rs.75,000, East India Film Company's ''Sati Savithri'' in Telugu was a huge hit. Based on a popular stage play by Mylavaram Bala Bharathi Samajam, the film was directed by debutant C. Pullaiah and starred stage stalwarts Vemuri Gaggaiah and Dasari Ramathilakam as Yama and Savithri, respectively. Like ''Seeta'', this film was also shown in Venice Film Festival, where it too won an honorary diploma.〔
