[Reader-list] Realism and Cinema

[Subhajit Chatterjee]

  hi rashmi ...take a look at the set of eassays in making Meaning In Indian Cinema some of which specifically adresses this issue ..also see essays coming out in Deep Focus , Cinemaya etc which might be relavnt to ur specific querries ..however the problem is not of the smae order as Indian Cinema didnot have the imperative to become realist quite in the same way as Holltywood did due to specific historical nd ideological circumstances ..the incoherent mixture of codes drawn from continiuty or PMR traditoions is quite an early phenomena ..leading to more peculiar situations when realism came in the form of a reformist cum modernist drive ..do take a look at some ressays published in Journal of the Moving Image Vol 1 and 2 , Dept of Film Studies ,JU ....cheers
