FIND – Indoeuropean Foundation for New Dialogues, was founded in 1969 by Alain Daniélou under the name of Harsharan. Nowadays, FIND, besides conserving and promoting the founder’s work (manuscripts, books, paintings, letters and a large collection of photographs) in accordance to its original mission, it intends to bridge the growing divide between Indian and European cultures, due to the increased modernization and economic development. FIND, thus aims to create a two-way flow of experience through cultural exchange programmes, grants, workshops, seminars and live performances. FIND has permanent offices in: Zagarolo (near Rome), the Foundation Head Office and formerly Daniélou’s house; Paris and Lausanne, for the international activities. FIND can also rely on associated institutions in Italy, India, Bangladesh as well as in UK, Germany and Spain. To name a few: the International Music Council, Lausanne Photography Museum, Barcelona Casa Asia, Venice Intercultural Institute for Comparative Music, Lausanne Rudra-Béjart School, ICCR (Indian Council for Cultural Relations), IIC (Indian International Center of New Dehli), RTC (Rabindranath Tagore Centre of Kolkata). FIND is the executive producer of this documentary film. FIND owns much of the archival photographs and original musics’ rights. As to the rights of all the original music recorded by Daniélou not directly owned be the FIND Foundation, we will benefit of their ‘availability’ for promotional and fund raising purposes, with a view to clearing them when appropriate.
