Art Cinema And India’s Forgotten Futures by R. C. Majumdar
Film and History in the Postcolony
A study of how postcolonial India’s art cinema imagined alternative national futures, it traces the networks of film societies, critics, festivals, and state institutions that nurtured modernist filmmaking from the 1950s through the 1980s. Through close readings of key works and filmmakers, it shows how aesthetics and infrastructure intertwined to shape production and reception, how international circuits reframed these films, and how political-economic shifts and the retreat of state patronage in the late twentieth century foreclosed many of these horizons—leaving a rich but contested archive of “forgotten futures.”
