Indian cinema teems with a multitude of different voices. The
"Directory of World Cinema: India" provides a broad overview of
this rich variety, highlighting distinctions among India's major
cinematic genres and movements while illuminating the field as a
whole. This volume's contributors--many of them leading experts in
their fields--approach film in India from a variety of angles,
furnishing in-depth essays on significant directors and major
regions; detailed historical accounts; considerations of the many
faces of India represented in Indian cinema; and explorations of
films made in and about India by European directors including Jean
Renoir, Peter Brook, and Emeric Pressburger. Taken together, these
multifaceted contributions show how India's varied local film
industries throw into question the very concept of a national
cinema. The resulting volume will provide a comprehensive
introduction for newcomers to Indian cinema while offering a fresh
perspective sure to interest seasoned students and scholars.
