I guess this is particularly useful to bloggers, but I imagine other people might find it worth knowing as well :) What do you do when you’ve got a 10min. video and you think about 4min. is very interesting? I’ve had that a lot and usually I’ve just posted the whole video, but apparently I [...]

{FILM SPOTTING}
The fourth edition of Ticket to Bollywood (a Bollywood mini-festival) will take place in Warsaw in about a month’s time (5th-7th December).
