About SLAP Enterprise
SLAP enterprise is the brainchild of filmmaker Lata Bhasin. An enterprise that aims at promoting and supporting the arts in the city of Delhi. Lata’s journey into the creative world started with writing poetry, which she posted on a blog, and the poetry blog evolved into a book. She never completely stopped writing poetry, but she expanded into film production. She first helped to produce a 38 min documentary about Auroville, the ashram in Pondicherry. This Documentary is about a call, an irresistible call which has drawn them all together. Awakening to a new hope, an impossible dream and the promise of fulfillment, is what draws the inhabitants to this place. The journey begins there, in Auroville, a secret unity struggles to manifest. The dream lights up and transmutes their mundane lives, and a new world is born, to build The City of Dawn.
Then, she ventured into fiction by writing the script for the short film Kaash....if only. The film shot entirely in the beautiful city of Delhi is based on Lata’s true life experiences and those she were in contact with. A short film exploring the variety of hopes and desires that lurk secretly within our hearts. It is set around a bus ride, symbolic of life’s journey and people from all walks of life. Kaash received much acclaim from all quarters across the world and travelled to prestigious film festivals around the world including Cannes. Lata has crafted a Bollywod film script and tinkered with a musical.
Lata’s most recent foray has been in the world of theatre with the musical “Mahim Junction” directed by Sohaila Kapur. Lata’s SLAP enterprise produced this successful play that ran to packed houses in Delhi and is slated to travel to various cities in India and abroad in the coming months. Lata has also co-founded an organization that helps meet the needs of the urban poor in Delhi.
