Timeline
Diptendu Pramanick (July 18, 1910 – December 15, 1989) was a Bengali film personality from Calcutta.
He was the founder secretary of the Eastern India Motion Pictures Association in Calcutta, India - a fraternity of film personnel which is an interface between the entertainment industry of eastern India and the Government.
During his multifarious career he came in contact with eminent personalities and saw the evolution of this organization from its initial days to being a regionwide entity.
He was born on 18 July 1910 in Calcutta.
He was the eldest son of Sudhamoy Pramanick from Shantipur.
He did his early schooling in Calcutta and then at the Raiganj Coronation School, Raiganj where his father practised as a lawyer.
In 1926 he returned to Calcutta and cleared Matriculation followed by the Intermediate examinations in Science in 1928.
He then joined the Scottish Church College, Calcutta.
His interactions with many a revolutionary (due to his father's involvement with the Congress and the Satyagraha movement at Raigunj), the explosive air of the times, and the inspiration from a famous alumni (The Oaten Affair - Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose assaulted Prof Oaten due to the latter's derogatory comment on Indians ) probably drove him to antagonize an Indian-loathing teacher at Scottish Church College, and follow Bose's suit.
He later graduated from Asutosh College, and earned a bachelor's degree in science from the University of Calcutta in 1931.
1931 - 1948 After leaving college, he worked as the Secretary to the then Mayor of Calcutta Sri Santosh Kumar Basu.
Out of his literary inclinations, he associated with literary conferences and Bengali literature fora.
The 12th Prabasi Banga-Sahitya Sammelan was inaugurated by Rabindranath Tagore in Calcutta, December 1934 (Photo : The Reception Committee was chaired by Ramananda Chatterjee)..Also seen in the photograph is Akshay Kumar Nandi, father of Amala Sankar.
On completion of Mr Basu's term as Mayor, he became the Liaison Officer of Civil Defense and in the Publicity Section of the Commercial Museum.
The concept of Civil Defence owes its origin to erstwhile ARP Organisation raised and operated during World War II (1939–45) to safeguard the life and property of the civilian population and train the citizens to handle war time crisis.
At this time, Japan had overrun Burma and the threat of bombing was looming large on Calcutta.
Eventually Japanese aircraft bombed Budge Budge (south of Calcutta).
A Bengali folk rhyme captures this World War II event:
The bombing led to widespread panic - over a million people fled from the city and there was a huge pressure on civic authorities to control the situation.
Indian Civil Defence Department expanded at a rapid pace to counter these threats and planned lighting restrictions, medical platoons, fire-fighting and rescue units.
In 1942, he moved to the Home Department of the then Bengal Government as Liaison Officer, Civil Defense.
At the end of the war, the department was wound down starting 1947.
Subsequently, he tested his skills of entrepreneurship through a venture (Cine Furnishers Limited) with a couple of friends.
It is here that he came in close contact with people of the Bengali film industry of Kolkata.
Enthused with these contacts, he joined an association of producers, distributors and exhibitors of Bengal (Bengal Motion Pictures Association) in 1948 as Secretary while Sri B. N. Sircar was the President.
Next year he started the BMPA journal and was the editor for more than two decades.
The Association was working on a rented premises at 125, Dharamtolla Street (now Lenin Sarani) which was moved to 2, Madan Street, Calcutta.
The association grew under his leadership and moved into 98E Chowringhee Square (now 98E B.N. Sircar Sarani – EIMPA house - its present location ).
He was the first secretary of the then expanded Eastern India Motion Picture Association (EIMPA) and was instrumental in opening the EIMPA offices in Patna and Guwahati.
In this period the uncertainties of war led to severe shortage of raw film stock in the country.
A Film Advisory Committee was formed under the Government of India, and was given control of raw film stock distribution.
EIMPA played an important role as a trade representative, negotiating materials for the film industry of eastern India and much of Diptendu's efforts were directed for the same.
The Films Division of the Government of India sponsored and organized the First International Film Festival of India in 1952.
BMPA played a pivotal role in organizing the festival in Calcutta.
Frank Capra, the famous American director flew in and was overwhelmed by the reception he got at Calcutta after visiting Bombay and Delhi.
During his tenure he also served as the Secretary of Film Federation of India (1953–1954).
In 1956, Diptendu and other stalwarts like Satyajit Ray, Robert Hawkins, Vijaya Mulay and Dasgupta revived the Calcutta Film Society which witnessed the joining of 300 members.
The same team were then the prime movers behind the formation of the Federation of Film Societies of India (FFSI) in 1959 which was presided by Satyajit Ray, with Diptendu as the Jt.
Treasurer during which Indira Gandhi was a member of the FFSI (till 1964).
