You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Bhagwan Das Garga''', also known as '''B. D. Garga''' (14 November 1924 in [[Lehragaga]], [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]]<ref>''Foreword: A Life in Cinema'', S. xi. In: B.D. Garga: ''The Art of Cinema: An Insider’s Journey Through Fifty Years of Film History'', Penguin Books India, 2005</ref> - 18 July 2011 in [[Patiala]], [[Punjab, India|Punjab]]), was an Indian documentary filmmaker and film historian.

== Life ==

Garga grew up in [[Lahore]] and developed an interest in photography as a teenager. He published some of his photographs in the magazine ''Illustrated Weekly of India''. In 1943, he went to [[Mumbai]] and worked in the [[Indian film industry]] for the director [[V. Shantaram]], where he learned the film craft. There he met the journalist and film critic [[K. A. Abbas]], who encouraged him to write an article on the history of Indian cinema for Abbas' original magazine ''Sargam''.

In 1948, Garga shot his first of more than 50 documentaries, which he also wrote and produced. His cinematic interest led him to Europe in 1953, where he studied film-making at the [[Ealing Studios]] and established contacts with the [[British Film Institute]] and the [[Cinémathèque française]]. [[Henri Langlois]] was a lifelong friend of his, and after Langlois's death in 1977 he wrote the obituary in the magazine ''Filmfare'', in which he praised him as the greatest promoter of world cinema. During his five-year period in Europe, Garga also traveled to the Soviet Union and supported Abbas at the Mosfilm studios working on the Soviet-Soviet filming trip over three seas (1957). He also co-operated with film historians and archivists.

Garga's research and writing was about film; his research on Indian film history culminated in the first film anthology on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Indian film. Garga was a member of the expert UNESCO committee on the history of international film. In 1969, he organized the first retrospective of Indian cinema with the [[Cinémathèque française]]. He was a member of the [[Film Advisory Board of India]]<ref>((cite web|title=Overseas Indian: Connecting India with its Diaspora|periodical=Overseasindian.in|url=http://overseasindian.in/2009/sept/news/20090809-123133.shtml|url-status=dead|accessdate=2015-01-02|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100522082524/http://overseasindian.in/2009/sept/news/20090809-123133.shtml|archivedate=2010-05-22|language=German))</ref> and a founding member of the [[National Film Archive of India]] in [[Pune]]. He also published essays on various aspects of Indian cinema, according to the NFDC magazine ''Cinema in India''. The state Indian film promotion honored him for the 75th anniversary of Indian film in 1988 with a prize for his contribution to the growth of the national film industry. Garga was a jury member of national and international film festivals.

In 1992 Garga moved with his wife from [[Mumbai]] to [[Goa]]. At the [[Mumbai International Film Festival]] in 1996, he was awarded the [[V. Shantaram Award]] for his work in the documentary film. For his book ''From Raj to Swaraj: The Non-Fiction Film in India'' on the history of the Indian documentary, he received a [[National Film Award]] for the best Indian book on Film of the Year in 2007.<ref>((cite web|url=http://overseasindian.in/2009/sept/news/20090809-123133.shtml|title=overseasindian.in|website=overseasindian.in|accessdate=24 June 2017|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151207175939/http://overseasindian.in/2009/sept/news/20090809-123133.shtml|archivedate=7 December 2015))</ref> Garga sold his unique private collection of about 3000 film memorabilia shortly before his death for 20 million rupees to the Indira Gandhi National Center for the Arts in New Delhi. His last book, ''Silent Cinema, in India: A Pictorial Journey'' was released in 2012<ref>((cite web|title=Silent Cinema in India: A Pictorial Journey - Fantomas|trans-title=|website=cargocollective.com|publisher=|url=http://cargocollective.com/fantomas/Silent-Cinema-in-India-A-Pictorial-Journey|format=|accessdate=2015-01-02|last=|date=2001-12-14|language=German|pages=|quote=))</ref> and was also awarded the National Film Award.<ref>((cite web|title=60th National Film Awards for the year 2012 Announced|periodical=DFF.nic.in|url=http://www.dff.nic.in/Moreof60thNFAAnnounced2012.html|accessdate=2015-01-02|language=German|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140608124910/http://dff.nic.in/Moreof60thNFAAnnounced2012.html|archive-date=8 June 2014|url-status=dead))</ref>
