At the conference, there was a collective recognition of the unfolding impact of digitalization on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life in South Asia. We had a keen sense of how much things had changed in the South Asian mediascape since the introduction of cable and satellite television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We were also aware of the growing interest in media studies within South Asian studies, and hoped that the conference would resonate with scholars from various disciplines across the humanities and social sci- ences.

    [LISTED] THE UNDERDOG TURNED SUPERSTAR ANURAG KASHYAP, GUNEET MONGA, NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUI, RICHA CHADDA, VIKRAMADITYA MOTWANE Text Shahnaz Siganporia Photography Ishika Mohan Motwane N THE INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY, there are good and bad words. ‘Un- derdog’, ‘struggler’, ‘starlet’ are clubbed into the ‘bad’ category while I words such as ‘Superstar’, ‘100 Crore Club’, ‘legacy’ fall into the ‘good’ category. However, sometimes the two combine to form a heady cocktail. The starlet bags a 100 crore film and the underdog becomes the superstar. The latter is a tricky balance—there’s the formulaic superstar and then there’s the superstar who paves his or her own way and creates cinema that goes way beyond the norm. Over the last few years, the tides have been busy changing, contorting and transforming our home-grown film industry. And let’s face it, in an industry raking in the moolah, thanks to wish-fulfilment and feel- good stories, we’re suckers for the runt who becomes the alpha. In the 100th year of Indian cinema, Platform celebrates the erstwhile underdogs who have gone on to carve out a space for themselves and have begun their ascent to stardom. NOV/DEC 2013 · PLATFORM · CREATIVE LIFESTYLE · 031 [LISTED] Anurag Kashyap FROM BANNED TO LAUDED THE BEGINNING I don’t know why I wanted to make films. It’s like asking yourself why you love someone. How do you explain that? You just do, you know? I just knew that filmmaking is what I wanted to do.

  • Network Films: a Global Genre?
    Network Films: a Global Genre? Vivien Claire Silvey December 2012 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University. ii This thesis is solely my original work, except where due reference is given. iii Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful for all the time and effort my dear supervisor Cathie Summerhayes has invested throughout this project. Her constant support, encouragement, advice and wisdom have been absolutely indispensable. To that master of words, puns and keeping his hat on during the toughest times of semester, Roger Hillman, I extend profound gratitude. Roger‟s generosity with opportunities for co-publishing, lecturing and tutoring, and enthusiasm for all things Turkish German, musical and filmic has been invaluable. For all our conversations and film-loans, I warmly say to Gino Moliterno grazie mille! I am indebted to Gaik Cheng Khoo, Russell Smith and Fiona Jenkins, who have provided valuable information, lecturing and tutoring roles. I am also grateful for the APA scholarship and for all the helpful administration staff in the School of Cultural Inquiry. At the heart of this thesis lies the influence of my mother Elizabeth, who has taken me to see scores of “foreign” and “art” films over the years, and my father Jerry, with whom I have watched countless Hollywood movies. Thank you for instilling in me a fascination for all things “world cinema”, for your help, and for providing a caring home. To my gorgeous Dave, thank you for all your love, motivation, cooking and advice. I am enormously honoured to have you by my side.

Narratorial Predicaments in Contemporary Alternatives in/to Bollywood Subhajit Chatterjee Another Indian New Wave? This essay reflects upon specific aspects of a fashionable trend in Indian cin- emas of the recent past that has provocatively pitted itself against the prud- ish and spectacular self- image of India’s mainstream culture industry, now globally familiar as “Bollywood.”1 An insolent mutiny featuring urbane but dark and sardonic narratives in the face of Bollywood’s dominant song- dance- drama spectacle has facilitated a resurgence of the proverbial coinage “new wave,” which was associated with avant- garde experiments in Indian cinema of the late 1960s.2 The work of its representative auteurs such as Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee, or Sriram Raghavan feature points of overlap with generic varieties in Bombay cinema, particularly to the gritty urban gangster films of the nineties emblematized by Ram Gopal Varma. positions 25:1 doi 10.1215/10679847-3710403 Copyright 2017 by Duke University Press positions 25:1 February 2017 196 Such proliferation of narrative and thematic experimentations encountered initial
