New Independent Indian Cinema – a film genre with a strong identity
The New independent Indian cinema has emerged as a distinctive cinematic form. Drawing from his latest publication - Indian Indies: A Guide to New Independent Indian, Ashvin Devasundaram traces important milestones in the evolution of this dynamic film sector. The talk will draw attention to boundary-pushing, unflinchingly interrogative and radically evocative Indian Indie films that traverse LGBTQ+ issues, female empowerment, caste discrimination, populist politics and religious violence.
Dr. Ashvin Immanuel Devasundaram is Senior Lecturer in World Cinema at Queen Mary University of London, author of the world's first book on Indian independent cinema - "India's New Independent Cinema: Rise of the Hybrid" and Associate Director of the prestigious UK Asian Film Festival - London.
Saturday, 15th October, 2:30 pm, Deutsches Filmmuseum (tbc)
