Shoma A. Chatterji (Author)
Synopsis

Independent documentary movement in India has survived many odds, creating and perpetuating a rich legacy that is an inspiration to young film-makers.

The book details and analyzes notable Indian documentaries, including those by iconic film-makers such as Satyajit Ray, Mani Kaul, Anand Patwardhan; activists such as Rakesh Sharma, Ranjan Palit, Amar Kanwar; feminists such as Deepa Dhanraj and Madhusree Dutta and auteurs such as Sanjay Kak and R.V. Ramani. It is an informative read as well as a frame of reference for film buffs, film scholars and film-makers.
