Welcome to Beyond Bollywood: Discoveries From India
Indian cinema is the largest film industry in the world, but only in recent years has it created any kind of impact outside that sub-continent. Besides the bindis, bangles, music, romance and dance of the now ubiquitous Bollywood archetype, there is an interesting spectrum of independently made films that reveal the layers and intricacies within a fascinating and multi-faceted society.
The Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the Australia-India Council and the Directorate of Film Festivals in India are proud to support the Melbourne International Film Festival in presenting Beyond Bollywood: Discoveries From India, a spotlight program highlighting the best in exemplary, independent Indian film.
The Melbourne International Film Festival also welcomes Buddhadeb Dasgupta, director of the much-anticipated A Tale of a Naughty Girl and Gautaman Bhaskaran, special correspondent for leading Indian newspaper The Hindu.
