Laleen Jayamanne examines the major works of leading Indian film
director, Kumar Shahani, and explores the reaches of modernist film
aesthetics in its international form. More than an auteur study,
Jayamanne approaches Shahani's films conceptually, as those that
reveal cinema's synaesthetic capabilities, or "cinaesthesia." As
the author shows, Shahani's cinematic project entails a modern
reformulation of the ancient oral tradition of epic narration and
performance in order to address the contemporary world,
establishing a new cinematic expression, "an epic idiom." As
evidenced by his films, constructing cinematic history becomes more
than an archival project of retrieval, and is instead a living
history of the present which can intervene in the current moment
through sensory experiences, propelling thought.
