  • The Shadow and the Arc Light: Finding the Female Workforce in Bombay Cinema
    E-CineIndia July-September 2020 ISBN: 2582-2500 Article Madhuja Mukherjee The Shadow and the Arc Light: Finding the Female Workforce in Bombay Cinema Abstract: This paper is connected to broader research concerning gender, labour and the Indian film industry, and develops from my on-going audio-visual project titled ”The shadow and the arc light”. While it is linked with my previous book project, ‘Voices of the Talking Stars’ (2017) involving women/ work and cinema dynamics, the attempt here is to reclaim feminist narratives from the historical debris and amnesia, in the context of contemporary and emergent feminist historiography. Furthermore, while certain degree of research has been conducted on women as ‘directors’, my purpose here is not to posit women as ‘auteurs’; contrarily, I aspire draw attention to the problems of historical readings which, generally speaking, have been greatly influenced by studies of periods, styles, movements and (great) masters, even though, more recently newer research have examined industrial conditions, cinematic transactions across regions, media histories, and so on. Consequently, my aim is to shift the focus to subjects of labour, and bring to light the characteristics of film work, and enquire where is the female figure on the elusive credit lists? Therefore, I call attention to a historical lacuna, which provokes us to rethink film historiography, and highlight the nature of filmic work and underscore the (un-credited) work done by women, in multiple capacities, during the last century. The ‘women’s question’ thus, urges us to rethink methods of writing histories for cinema. The purpose of this paper consequently is two fold -- first, to understand the nature filmic work, and secondly, to locate the shadow of the women worker in the archives of cinema.

The point of departure was a Jazz Services Advisory Board meeting where the Jazz Services plan for a chain of live music venues and the problem of securing lottery funding to provide the initial investment for this were under discussion. Tim Whitehead suggested that as well as plugging away on the live music venue chain, Jazz Services should aim to pinpoint the many venues not promoting jazz, or if doing so, on an infrequent basis for one reason or other – usually a fear of the unknown.

  • Ustad Nishat Khan in Concert
    Join us for a mystical evening showcasing the best of Indian Classical Music with the world renowned Sitar Maestro Ustad Nishat Khan at the Royal Opera House, Mumbai OR Royal Opera House, Mumbai presents a magical evening showcasing the best of Indian Classical Music with world renowned Sitarist Ustad Nishat Khan For Immediate Release Royal Opera House, Mumbai proudly presents Moon on the Water: Ustad Nishat Khan in Concert. A celebration of the musical journey of the critically acclaimed Sitar maestro, who brings his unique blend of instrumental textures and virtuosic techniques to Mumbai and our stage with an upcoming solo performance. The description of the performance is as below: This concert is centered around Khan’s fascination with the moon and each note promises to be imbued with its poetic and celestial beauty while promising to capture the mystique of the moon on the waters of the Arabian Sea that surround our city. In fact, Khan had, in 2013, conceptualised, composed and performed an innovative Sitar Concerto, The Gate of the Moon, commissioned by the BBC as a part of the BBC Proms Programme at The Royal Albert Hall, London, alongside the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and recently reprised the show with the Seattle Symphony in 2018. Hailed for its successful marrying of Indian classical music with the instrumentation and symphonic structure of western music, the concert was praised as a visionary integration of sitar with western orchestral sound. Khan’s playing has been applauded by critics as being “virtuosic” and “an interesting hybrid of styles and influences”, embellished with motifs and “filigree sounds”.
