I need to learn more about movie production company Percept group. They seem to be different from independent companies, movie studios and production companies in managing raw talents, production of new movies. I got some details at their website at Perceptindia.in
Any more reviews that can be given about them ?

The percept is a perceived form of external stimuli or their absence. Vivid dreams could also be considered as a form of perception without a clear source of external stimuli. The term is primarily used in philosophy and psychology as sense-datum to explain perception.It is important to discern percept from stimuli or their absence. Stimuli are not necessarily translated into a percept and rarely does a single stimulus translate into a percept. Also, absence of adequate stimuli may be translated into multiple percepts, experienced randomly, one at a time, as in some sensory illusions. And the same stimuli, or absence of them, may result in different percepts depending on subject’s culture and previous experiences.

Examples on the left illustrate how the same ambiguous stimuli could give rise to more than one percept. The same lines on the left of the image can be translated into a percept of transparent cube viewed from above or one viewed from below. The shape on the right could be interpreted as a vase or as two faces facing each other.

The percept also binds sensations from all of the senses in a whole. A picture of a talking person on a TV screen, for example, is bound to the sound of speech from speakers to form a percept of a talking person.

The example of transparent cube could also be used to illustrate the difference between cognition and recognition. If we are used to seeing a cube from above much more than from below, we will recognise the transparent cube viewed from above much faster and easier. The view from below would then need a significant cognitive effort that will take a noticeable moment.

In philosophy, ambiguity of stimuli is commented upon by Ludwig Wittgenstein in his Philosophical Investigations (1953), and Rudolf Arnheim in Art and Visual Perception (1954). It is also a term used in Rudolf Steiner’s theory of knowledge, which treats the relation of percept and concept.

Marshall McLuhan declared that he was more interested in percepts than concepts.

Percept is also a term used by Bergson and Deleuze to define perception gone independent from their authors. According to Deleuze, science uses percepts, while art works with affects and philosophy creates concepts.

    Based on a true story from the case files of real-life Wiccan, Ipsita Ray Chakraverti, Sacred Evil is the Story of three women separated by a twenty year old secret. A nun, a Wiccan & a girl in search of her mother.

    The nun is Martha, a 45 year old withering woman who lives in a secluded convent in Calcutta. Even in the sanctuary of the Church, she is haunted by a specter that threatens her sanity.

    The Wiccan, Ipsita is called upon by the unconventional Mother Superior to heal Martha’s soul.

    The task is difficult as Martha is reticent in talking about the events in her past. Using her skills as a healer and her training as a Jungian psychotherapist, Ipsita gradually opens the door to Martha’s story. The story of the one who haunts her.

    A young Anglo Indian girl called Claudia grows up with the angst of not knowing her mother Maureen, alienated in her Indian surroundings by her blue eyes and blonde hair.

    The story now goes back and forth as events from Claudia’s life begin to intersect Martha’s and Ipsita tries to sort out the tangled threads of the past and the present. In her search for the lost Maureen who everyone says looked much like her, a real English lady, Claudia becomes obsessed with her mother’s image. She begins to turn into her mother. Like her, she seeks out and falls in love with a foreigner, Pierre, a young Frenchman who is in Calcutta for a doctorate. But Pierre is never sure who is in love with him, Claudia or Maureen.

    As she tries to heal Martha with centuries old Egyptian rituals of the Wicca, Ipsita learns of Claudia’s struggle to keep her sanity and Martha’s attempts to save her soul. How she tried hard to bring her to the Church and let God heal her. Ipsita also learns that somewhere the attempts failed. Something happened. Claudia’s burden became Martha’s. With her own efforts failing to heal Martha’s spirit, Ipsita is led to a startling discovery in the end which makes her wonder if the sacred will ever be as strong in us as the evil is.
