Two events, seemingly unassuming and unrelated, that happened in the mid 60s were instrumental in shaping the cinematic landscape of India. J.S. Bhownagary was appointed Deputy Chief Producer for a second stint at Films Division in 1965, and Ritwik Ghatak moved to Pune to teach at the Film and Television institute of India (Ftii) in 1966. The first resulted in experimental documentaries being made by the likes of S.N.S. Sastry, S. Sukhdev, Pramod Pati, M.F.Hussain and the second was the harbinger of what is commonly referred to as the New Indian Cinema, with Ghatak during his tenure at Ftii acting as an influential figure for the likes of Mani Kaul,...

A Retrospective of Experimental Indian cinema and video titled “Hundred Years of Experimentation (1913- 2013)” will be held at Films Division from June 28-30, 2013. Curators Ashish Avikunthak and Pankaj Rishi Kumar share with us the thought behind putting together the Retrospective:
Curatorial Concept
A still from “Raja Harishchandra”
T his retrospective is a celebration of the spirit of experimentation in Indian cinema; from the moment of its mythic birth in 1913, with Phalke’s Raja Harishchandra, to the innovative and challenging moving images produced and exhibited today.
