Meanwhile, press clippings, brochures and publica- tions by various organisations were collected (including a number of highly relevant topical previous ITC/SRA seminar reports), as well as a broad sample of historical re- cordings and more recent releases of Hindustani classical music. As the first case study in the five- year project, it served a dual pur- pose: 1) making major inroads in the data collection for one of the nine case studies, and 2) testing the planned approach of the case studies as outlined in the Sustain- able Futures Case Study Guidelines in terms of content and of data management.

  • The Cinema of MF Husain,Water As a Metaphor in Indian
    The Cinema of M.F. Husain M.F. Husain’s two feature length fiction films, Gaja Gamini and Meenaxi are classic examples of having one’s cake and eating it too. In each case, the cake is delectable. True that the two films are not for a mass audience whatever that may mean, but that there is a sizeable audience for them, mainly urban, is beyond dispute. Had they been promoted properly, there would have been jam for the distributors and exhibitors. These two films are genuinely experimental and also eminently accessible to those with open minds-not necessarily intellectual or in tune with European Cinema-but just receptive to new ideas. They share certain avant-garde qualities with Ritwik Ghatak’s ‘Komal Gandhar’ (1961) and are even more advanced in terms of ideas and equally fluid in execution. It is both unfair and unrealistic to compare Husain’s achievements with that of other artists – painters and sculptures – who have also made films. In 1967, his Short, Through The Eyes of a Painter won the top prize in its category at the Berlin Film Festival. Shortly afterwards, an illustrious colleague Tyeb Mehta also made a Short for the same producer, Films Division of India (Government run) in which a slaughterhouse figured prominently. It too was widely appreciated. Then Gopi Gajwani, a painter who also worked with Span Magazine an organ of the United States Information Service, made from his own pocket two abstract short films in 35mm. They were shown once or twice and disappeared for nearly 30 years only to surface during the recent Golden Jubilee Celebrations of Lalit Kala Akademi.
