Tired of the abysmal level of film criticism, or what passes for it,
in the Indian media?

Interested in contributing to a more in-depth, perhaps occasionally
tongue-in-cheek, but always interesting, understanding of ccinema in
India, one that is neither obsessed with box-office stats (like what
works with the masses and what works with the classes 9the source for
the title of our blog), nor with aesthetic and critical parameters
derived solely from arty film-ed classes?

Film Critics At Large invites you to contribute reviews, short comment
pieces, and any other writing you might care to churn out on the topic
of cinema in India to a new blog, to be found at
http://indianfilm.blogspot.com, titled Masses and Classes: Film
Criticism for the Intelligent Indian. (Don't go running, there's
nothing on there as of now). The idea is to make this a place to turn
to for intelligent commentary on Indian cinema, both current and old.

So if you have seen something recently that makes you want to scream,
jump for joy, or generally share your reactions with a wider audience,
send your thoughts to this email address. Or if there's a particular
film you've always loved, tell us why.

All submissions must be in English, and should include the writer's
full name, and whether or not they would like to be named on the blog
(if not, please supply a pseudonym so that your readership can
recognise you). Submissions will, of course, be edited for length and
clarity, but we hope to not turn down anything of genuien interest,
howsoever long (isn't that one of the great things about a blog?)

Feel free to forward this to anyone you know who might be interested.

Best wishes,

The Critics At Large team.
