This book examines the relationship between the newly independent
Indian state and its New Cinema movement. It looks at state
formative practices articulating themselves as cultural policy. It
presents an institutional history of the Film Finance Corporation
(FFC), later the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), and
their patronage of the New Cinema in India, from the 1960s to the
1990s, bringing into focus an extraordinary but neglected cultural
moment in Indian film history and in the history of contemporary
India. The chapters not only document the artistic pursuit of
cinema, but also the emergence of a larger field where the market,
political inclinations of the Indian state, and the more complex
determinants of culture intersect — how the New Cinema movement
faced external challenges from the industrial lobby and
politicians, as well as experienced deep rifts from within. It also
shows how the Emergency, the Janata Party regime, economic
liberalization, and the opening of airwaves all left their impact
on the New Cinema. The volume will be of great interest to scholars
and researchers of film studies, politics and public policy,
especially cultural policy, media and culture studies, and South
Asian studies.
