India is one of the world's fastest growing nations, with a film industry to match. Over a thousand features are produced each year, from Bollywood blockbusters to intimate Malayalam, Bengali, and Tamil "art films." India's box-office receipts have become the envy of any Hollywood studio, for in a country now more than a billion strong—a spectacularly diverse population that speaks twenty-three official languages (including Hindi, Urdu, and English) as well as hundreds of regional dialects, casts votes for dozens of political parties, and practices myriad religions—the one thing that everyone shares is a passion for cinema.
The Department of Film, in association with the Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC), presents nine new feature films and two short films from India, many of them New York theatrical premieres. The selection captures the astonishing range of fiction and documentary styles and genres evident in India today.
