About The Book
Conducted in the fall of 2003 and updated in 2010-11, these interviews with leading Indian film directors document the changing Indian cinematic landscape. Direct interviews with filmmakers are invaluable to the scholarship of cinema because they give us their pure voices, unadulterated by outside perspectives. The author's knowledge of the filmmaking craft, as well as the intricacies of the Indian film business, reveal themselves through her rapport with those she spoke with. Topics discussed during the interviews range from their life stories and major influences on artistic vision to twists and turns of life in the Indian film business. This volume invites the reader into each filmmaker's unique worldview.
