Through his first film Pather Panchali (1955) Satyajit Ray became the pioneer of a genre of films latter known as the 'Indian Parallel Cinema '. Even though Ritwik Ghatak made his first film Nagarik in 1952, he became well known by his film Ajantrik (1958) and became a strong presence in parallel cinema. Mrinal Sen made his first filmRaatbhor in 1955.
The first film society was founded in Bombay in 1943 and Satyajit Ray founded a film society in Calcutta in 1947. By the beginning of 1970s there existed above 150 film societies all over India. Through these societies people could see the best of Indian cinema and also they got access to the best of foreign cinema. The first International Film Festival of India was held in Bombay, Madras and Calcutta by the Films Division in 1952. Western classics like De Sica 's Bicycle Thieves shown in the film festival created waves among young filmmakers who were frustrated with the mindless song-dance dramas made in India. The Film Training Institute of India (FTII - presently Film and Television Institute of India) was set up in Pune in 1961 and the National Film Archives of India (NFAI) was established in 1964. The Film Finance Corporation (FFC) was set up by the Government in 1960, with the objective of giving loans to directors who wanted to make feature films outside the commercial circuit. All these factors lead Indian Cinema to a revolutionary change, a new genre of Indian films arrived, which are often termed as the 'New Wave Indian Cinema ' or the 'New Indian Cinema '.

    The Indian film industry has never been popular for its art films. Art films in Indian cinemas usually try to portray a particular aspect of the Indian culture and norm. These movies avoid all the glitz and glamour normally found in Indian movies. No glitz or glamour usually restricts these movies to a low budget nor are these movies able to attract a large number of audience to the cinema. Directors that usually make such movies try to get a point across to the audience using the cinema screen to portray their view of a particular issue within the community.…

    When mainstream cinema becomes too dull, people seek alternative methods. In Bangladesh, mainstream cinema started with FDC and has moved on to address the need of the community which is horror, suspense, romance-the combination of everything. A 3-hour long „Purnodoirgho chhayachhobi‟ that first addressed the typical Bangladeshi need for entertainment was about a person who is poor but filled with possibilities, takes on the challenge of love and goes on to fulfill his destiny of securing the hand of the princess. This is actually a classic stable boy-princess relationship. „Choudhury Shaheb‟ is a very important title in Bangladeshi cinema, who is the primary antagonist standing between the budding lovers. During the 1980s, people were taking on this title to seem educated In the early days of film production, cameras were hand-cranked, and operated similarly to the hand-cranked machine guns of the time. To this day making films is called „shooting‟. Alternative themes self invented themselves in the minds of individuals who had grown tired of the constantly repetitive structure of mainstream movies. The FDC business grew and grew, then it became monotonous and mundane, and then Humayun Ahmed came up with his own idea of movies. That generation needed something which wasn‟t all „Friday Noon Hit‟. They did not know what it was but did feel the need for it which was thankfully met by Humayun Ahmed. Following the way of the world his movies slowly became mainstream too. Although there were alternate filmmakers like Zahir Raihan, Alamgir Kabir, Salauddin who worked their magic during the 1970s, they were forced to stop due to lack of support from the mass and government.…

    Apart from developing an audio and video language to reach to the audience, the popular Hindi Cinema or Bollywood as it is popularly called, developed a unique visual language too,during the 1930s, through the magnificent, larger-than-life hand-painted film posters. The large banner paintings,either in the form of a collage,or over-sized cutouts of actors and actresses ,were the first major tools to promote a film. Although, the exact origins are relatively unknown,but it is widely believed that the first movie to use a poster for its publicity was KALYAN KHAJINA (1924), whose poster was designed and painted by the Director,Baburao Painter himself.…

    Cinema is meant and believed to entertain, to take the viewer to a world that is starkly different from the real one, a world which provides escape from the daily grind of life. Cinema is a popular media of mass consumption which plays a key role in moulding opinions, constructing images and reinforcing dominant cultural values. Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for Indian culture in this century. It has shaped and expressed the changing scenarios of modern India to an extent that no preceding art form could ever achieve. It has influenced the way in which people perceive various aspects of their own lives. This paper deals with the representation of female in hindi mainstream cinema. There has been an attempt to examine the relationship between women and popular Hindi cinema. While cinema in India is in itself a diverse strand of expression incorporating mainstream cinema which holds popular appeal, art/parallel cinema that engages with social issues, middle cinema and regional language cinema. The explorations in this paper are limited to mainstream/popular Hindi cinema better known as ‘Bollywood’ because such cinema is seen to exercise widespread influence over people and enjoys mass appeal. Popular cinema and culture derive from each other. Films are believed to be the opium of the Indian masses as people rely on this medium to help them escape to a world of fantasy. In a very explicit way, cinema has shaped the cultural, social and political values of people of this country. While, the other forms of cinema are also important when it comes to the representation of women, restricting to popular cinema is the core concern.…

    The Exhibition excavated the forgotten marks that the cinema has left on the city by highlighting the transformation in cinema viewing and cinema production through 100 years in the city of Bombay/Mumbai. It dully explained how the city itself contributed to the growth of this unique art form. By showcasing the exact history of Cinema via Pictures, Models & Posters with comedic flavor, the project sought to highlight that cinema & Mumbai were Twins. They had not only grown through the 20th Centaury but were joined into each other’s processes and development. In our visit we were showed three short movies. “Sin City” showed an old man who had the license to recycle film reels for further use as shirt collars. “Dark Room” explained the increasing addiction of drugs in the city. And lastly, “Anna Sound Please” showed how people used to borrow and steal money to watch movies at multiplexes and how the Cinema was home like to the people who worked there.…

And trying to be everything to everybody is not an easy business. Rather it could send you out of business!…
