''Harishchandrachi Factory'' (Marathi: हरिश्चंद्राची फॅक्टरी, "Harishchandra's Factory") is a 2009 Marathi film, directed by Paresh Mokashi, depicting the struggle of Dadasaheb Phalke in making ''Raja Harishchandra'' in 1913: India's first feature film, the birth of Indian cinema.〔("Harishchandrachi Factory to tell story behind making of India’s first feature film )," ''Indian Express'', Express News, 3 May 2008.〕〔("Harishchandrachi Factory: We all owe a bit to Dadasaheb )," ''Passion for Cinema'', 25 May 2009.〕 ''Harishchandrachi Factory'' is the directorial debut of Paresh Mokashi who won the Best Director award at Pune International Film Festival, where the film was shown. In September 2009, it was selected as India's official entry to Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film Category, making it the second film, after ''Shwaas'' (2004), in Marathi cinema to receive this honour.〔("'Harishchandrachi Factory' India's entry for Oscars )," ''Indian Express'', PTI 20 September 2009.〕〔("'Harishchandrachi factory' India's entry for Oscars )," ''Press Trust of India'', 20 September 2009.〕〔(India's Oscar entry: Harishchandra Factory ) NDTV, Indo Asian News Service. 20 September 2009.〕 ==Overview== The film is the story about the beginning of the Indian film industry, set in 1913, when two business partners fall out, resulting in one leaving the company. As the family struggle to survive Phalke (Nandu Madhav) decides to make his own silent motion picture with the support of his family. He travels to England to learn about the new medium and, after he returns, brings together a team of actors and technicians to produce his first film about the story of Raja Harishchandra. Through all the hard work, the movie becomes a hit — marking the beginning of one of the world's biggest film industries.〔(Productions: Harishchandrachi Factory )〕〔("Dadasaheb Phalke: Man behind India's first film factory )," ''The Economic Times'', 21 June 2008.〕 One of the remarkable feats in this film is that it is entirely shot in the style of the movies made in Dadasaheb Phalke's days. There was no camera movement possible in those days - actors and actresses would move in and out of view, much like stage actors. This movie is similarly made. With the exception of a couple of zooming in shots, almost the entire movie is made without the camera moving. Many of the camera angles appear to be contrived (e.g., the outside shots when Phalke goes to London; the shots on the trolley in Bombay) - until this particular feat is kept in mind. The zoom shots are also not done smoothly - there is a mildly perceptible hand shake, to indicate the experiments that Phalke himself could have conducted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harishchandrachi Factory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
