The fifty-one essays compiled in this book were written over a
forty-year period by India's leading independent filmmaker. They
provide new insights into a turbulent era in modern India's
cultural history. Although known primarily as a filmmaker, Kumar
Shahani has taught, spoken and written on a variety of subjects
over this period, that include the cinema, but also politics,
aesthetics, history and psychoanalysis. In these essays Shahani
addresses diverse political issues, aesthetic practice, questions
of artistic freedom and censorship. There are also personal essays
on filmmakers and artists including his teachers and colleagues.
Shahani's often polemical positions, as they occur in several
previously unpublished essays and presentations, are essential
contributions to film and cultural histories of the Indian cinema
as well as of the New Cinema worldwide. The book includes a
comprehensive introductory essay, "Kumar Shahani Now," by Ashish
Rajadhyaksha.
