Indian films showcased at Kunstmuseum Bern aptly underscore the theme ‘Narratives in Recent Indian Art’. [dated September 2007]
Contemporary Indian cinematic storytelling is on the cusp of change. This is illustrated by the fact that while Bollywood retains its basic strengths of colourful song and dance spectacle, it is slowly treading paths anew while Indian art-house cinema continues to plough its innovative furrow globally. The hugely entertaining yet thought provoking film selection this year aptly underscores the theme ‘Narratives in Recent Indian Art’ with every title illustrating a unique way of storytelling. The film selection then, proves the fact that while there might be myriad ways to tell a story, the story itself necessarily remains paramount.
