Bollywood plays an important role in the increased dialogue between Australia and India.
Bollywood in Australia: Transnationalism and Cultural Production brings together scholars from India and Australia to explore the transnational impact of Bollywood on public spheres in Australia and to assess its contribution to Australian creative industries.
Countries of the West—Switzerland, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand—have gone out of their way to welcome Bollywood production teams, and Singapore and Bangkok are now using Bollywood to showcase an Asian modernity.
In an age when creative, information and services industries propel economic growth, Bollywood and its modalities of production, distribution and reception are seen as important players in global culture-industry networks."

UK ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. INDIA ; ADAPTATIONS ; CRITICISM ; THEORY ; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA ; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. UK ; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. INDIA ; TRANSNATIONAL CINEMA Summary: "Bollywood in Britain provides the most extensive survey to date of the various manifestations and facets of the Bollywood phenomenon in Britain. Kramer analyzes the role of Hindi films in the British film market, showing how audiences engage with Bollywood cinema and discussing the ways the image of Bollywood in Britain has been shaped. In contrast to most of the existing books on the subject, which tend to approach Bollywood as something that is made by Asians for Asians, the book also focuses on how Bollywood has been adapted for non-Asian Britons. An analysis of Bollywood as an unofficial brand is combined with in-depth readings of texts including film reviews, the TV show Bollywood Star (2004) and novels and plays with references to the Hindi film industry. On this basis Bollywood in Britain demonstrates that the presentation of Bollywood for British mainstream culture oscillates between moments of approximation and distancing, with a clear dominance of the latter. Despite its alleged transculturality, Bollywood in Britain thus emerges as a phenomenon of difference, distance and Othering"-- BACK COVER BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781501307614Donation: Senses of CinemaContents: -- acknowledgments -- 1: Introduction -- 2: What is 'Bollywood'? -- 3: Popular Indian Cinema in Britain - Facts and Figures -- 4: Britain and Indian Diaspora Films - Questions of Nostalgia -- 5: Beyond Films - The Development of the Bollywood Brand -- 6: the (trans)difference of Bollywood : British asians through the lens of 'Bollywood Star' -- 7: representations of the Hindi film industry in British first-hand reports -- 8: the changing image of Bollywood in British film reviews -- 9: Bollywood Adaptations -- 10: Conclusion -- notes -- Filmography -- Bibliography -- Index --

Only two years later Mani Ratnam's audacious Tamil film Bombay (1995) used these events as a backdrop to a love story between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl. Bombay was condemned by Muslim critics for misrepresentation and it was embroiled in censorship controversies. These served only to heighten interest and the film ran to packed houses in India and abroad. Lalitha Gopalan shows how Bombay struggles ot find a narrative that can reconcile differences. She looks in detail at the way official censors tried to change the film under the influence of powerful figures in both the Muslim and the Hindu communities. In going on to analyse the aesthetics of Bombay, she shows how themes of social and gender difference are rendedred through performance, choreography, song and cinematography. This is a fascinating account of a landmark in recent Indian cinema. [Taken from back cover]ISBN: 0851709567

INDIA ; BOLLYWOOD ; WOMEN IN FILMS. INDIA ; DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE (II, Aditya Chopra, [1995]) ; GUPT GYAN (II, B. K. Adarsh, 1974) ; KHAL NAYAK (II, Subhash Ghai, 1993) Summary: "India produces an impressive number of films each year in a variety of languages. Here, Monika Mehta breaks new ground by analyzing Hindi films and exploring the censorship of gender and heterosexuality in Bombay cinema. She studies how film censorship on various levels makes the female body and female sexuality pivotal in constructing national identity, not just through the films themselves but also through the heated debates that occur in newspapers and other periodicals. The standard claim is that the state dictates censorship and various prohibitions, but Mehta explores how relationships among the state, the film industry, and the public illuminates censorships' role in identity formation, while also examining how desire, profits, and corruption are generated through the act of censoring.
Committed to extending a feminist critique of mass culture in the global south, Mehta situates the story of censorship in a broad social context and traces the intriguing ways in which the heated debates on sexuality in Bombay cinema actually produce the very forms of sexuality they claim to regulate. She imagines afresh the theoretical field of censorship by combining textual analysis, archival research, and qualitative fieldwork (personal interviews and direct observation of censorship committees). By employing this interdisciplinary methodology and mobilizing Michel Foucault's insights on micropractices, Mehta places concerns of representation, film production, film reception, and state interventions in a productive dialogue. Her analysis reveals how central concepts of film studies, such as stardom, spectacle, genre, and sound, are employed and (re)configured within the ambit of state censorship, thereby expanding the scope of their application and impact." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Based on the author's thesis (doctoral)--University of Minnesota, 2001 -- Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9780292726925Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013Contents: Beginning -- Revisiting the history of film censorship -- Close-up: the Central Board of Film Certification -- The first sex-education film: a classification conundrum -- Satyam shivam sundaram: (im)proper suturing of sound, scar, and stardom -- An anomalous dilemma: to ban or to certify the self-sacrificial wife in Pati parmeshwar -- Tracking the twists and turns in the Khalnayak -- Debates on censorship -- Dilwale dulhania le jayenge: certifying a "family love" story -- From censorship to selections

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; UNITED KINGDOM : SCOTLAND ; INDONESIA ; POLAND ; TURKEY ; INDIA ; GERMANY ; STATE AND THE CINEMA ; CAPRA, FRANK Summary: Leading film scholars, philosophers and sociologists consider the ways in which film production and reception are shaped by ideas of national identity and belonging. The contributors discuss a wide range of cinemas, in Europe, Asia and the Americas, exploring the relationship between nation states for both the concept and the reality of national cinema.
In the book’s first three sections, contributors explore sociological approaches to national identity, challenge established ideas about ‘national cinema’, and consider the ways in which national states – from the former Soviet Union to Contemporary Scotland – use cinema in their efforts to create a national cinema, and consider how images of the nation are understood by audiences both at home and abroad.

The Epic Films of David Lean / by Constantine Santas Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2012.
Call No: 81LEA SANAuthor: Santas, Constantine Source: UKPlace: Lanham, MDPublisher: Scarecrow PressPubDate: 2012PhysDes: xli, 197 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: Lean, David ; BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, THE (UK/US, David Lean, 1957) ; LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (UK, David Lean, 1962) ; DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (US, David Lean, 1965) ; RYAN'S DAUGHTER (UK, David Lean, 1970) ; PASSAGE TO INDIA, A (US/UK, David Lean, 1984) Summary: "Widely regarded as one of cinema's most accomplished directors, David Lean helmed such classics as Brief Encounter, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist. He twice received the Academy Award for best director, and two of his films - The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia - won the Oscar for best picture. Both are featured on the American Film Institute's Top 100, with Lawrence of Arabia in the top ten. Despite the awards and accolades for these motion pictures, many critics often look more favorably upon the smaller films that Lean produced earlier in his career, and in recent years his reputation as a director has diminished. In this study, Constantine Santas seeks to restore these now undervalued epics to the elevated esteem they once held. Without dismissing the earlier works or regarding them as irrelevant to Lean's evolution as an artist, this book shows that the epics are as worthy as any of Lean's previous films. In addition to Lean's academy-Award-winning blockbusters, Santas also provides close analytical looks at Doctor Zhivago, Ryan's Daughter, and the director's final film, A Passage to India.
Santas argues that the epics show a progression and refinement of Lean's work and are thematically broader and feature more complex characterization than his earlier films. In his analyses, Santas provides background material on the production of each epic; insights into structure, characters, techniques, and themes, and a look into the relationship between the films and their literary sources. Written in a clear and engaging manner, The Epic Films of David Lean will appeal not only to cinema students and scholars but also to general fans of David Lean and his work.

INDIA ; STARS. INDIA Summary: The Hindi film industry, among the most prolific in the world, has delighted audiences for decades with its colourful, exquisite and sometimes startling costumes. But are costumes more than just a source of pleasure? This book, the first in-depth exploration of Hindi film costume, contends that they are a unique source of knowledge about issues ranging from Indian taste and fashion to questions of identity, gender and work. Anthropological and film studies approaches combine to analyze costume as the outcome of production processes and as a cinematic device for conveying meaning. Chapters lead from the places where costume is planned and executed to explorations of characterization, the actor body, spectacles of fashion, to the imagining of historical or fantasy worlds through dress, to the power of stardom to launch clothing styles into the public domain. As well as charting the course of film costume as it parallels important trends in cultural history, the book considers the future of Hindi film costume, in the context of new strains of filmmaking that stress unvarnished realism.Notes: Formerly CIP.

INDIA ; POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA.INDIA ; SHOLAY (II, Ramesh Sippy, 1975) Summary: Despite the often stereotypical notions of Bollywood, it’s not all weddings, wet saris and running around trees. In the 1970s, Indian cinema gave birth to a new breed of action movie, one that combined its own exuberant traditions with foreign influences like the gritty urban crime thrillers of the New Hollywood, Hong Kong martial arts cinema, and Italian exploitation fare.
This was the domain of hard fighting he-men stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Feroz Khan and badass, whip-wielding heroines played by the likes of the gorgeous Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, and Rekha.
Let world cult cinema fanatic Todd Stadtman be your guide through this world of karate killers, femme fatales, space age lairs, bombshells and booby traps with Funky Bollywood, a book with an attitude as freewheeling and feisty as its subject matter, bursting with colour and imagination on every vibrant page! -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781903254776

In Humor in Middle Eastern Cinema, editors Gayatri Devi and Najat Rahman shed light on this tradition, as well as humor and laughter motivated by other intent—including parody, irony, the absurd, burlesque, and dark comedy. Contributors trace the proliferation of humor in contemporary Middle Eastern cinema in the works of individual directors and from the perspectives of genre, national cinemas, and diasporic cinema. Humor in Middle Eastern Cinema explores what humor theorists have identified as an “emancipatory,” “liberatory,” even “revolutionary” function to humor. Among the questions contributors ask are: How does Middle Eastern cinema and media highlight the stakes and place of humor in art and in life? What is its relation to the political? Can humor in cinematic art be emancipatory? What are its limits for its intervention or transformation? Contributors examine the region’s masterful auteurs, such as Abbas Kiarostami, Youssef Chahine, and Elia Suleiman and cover a range of cinematic settings, including Egypt, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey. They also trace diasporic issues in the distinctive cinema of India and Pakistan. This insightful collection will introduce readers to a variety of contemporary Middle Eastern cinema that has attracted little critical notice. Scholars of cinema and media studies as well as Middle Eastern cultural history will appreciate this introduction to a complex and fascinating cinema." -- GOOGLE BOOKSNotes: Contains bibliography and filmography -- contains index -- contains list of contributorsISBN: 9780814339374Contents: Introduction / Gayatri Devi and Najat Rahman -- Humor, loss, and the possibility for politics in recent Palestinian cinema / Najat Rahman -- Strategies of subversion in Ben Ali's Tunisia: allegory and satire in Moncef Dhouib's TV Is Coming / Robert Lang -- Satiric traversals in the comedy of Mehran Modiri: space, irony, and national allegory on Iranian television / Cyrus Ali Zargar -- Ethnic humor, stereotypes, and cultural power in Israeli cinema / Elise Burton -- The laughter of Youssef Chahine / Najat Rahman -- Comedic meditations: war and genre in The Outcasts / Somy Kim -- Humor and the cinematic sublime in Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us / Gayatri Devi -- America the oppressively funny: humor and anti-americanisms in modern Turkish cinema / Perin Gurel -- Laughter across borders: the case of the Bollywood film Tere Bin Laden / Mara Matta

INDIA ; INDIA ; INDIAN CINEMA ; WORLD CINEMA Summary: "Few would deny that the most significant weapon in India's cultural and artisitc armory is its avowedly commerical cinema, now known as Bollywood. This anthology aims to portray the "soft" power of Bollywood, which makes it a unique and powerful disseminator of Indian culture and values abroad. The essays in the book examine Bollywood's popularity within and outside South Asia, focusing on its role in international relations and diplomacy. In addition to contributions that directly engage with the notion of soft power, a number of essays in the volume testify to the attractiveness of Bollywood cinema for ethnically diverse groups across the world, probe the reasons for its appeal, and explore its audiences' identification with cinematic narratives. Established and emerging scholars in literature, theater, film, dance, music, media, cultural studies, and sociology from different parts of the world present their views from multidisciplinary perspectives based on case studies from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, Russia, the US, Senegal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Canada, in addition to India" -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9788132107323Contents: -- list of tables -- list of abbreviations -- forword by Ishtiaq Ahmed -- acknowledgments -- Chapter 1: Introduction / Anjali Gera Roy -- Brand Bollywood and the new Bollywood film. -- Chapter two: Mainstream Hindi cinema and brand Bollywood: the transformation of a cultural artifact / M.

A unique voice in cinema today, she is one of the few female directors who made it to the top of a male-dominated profession. Her films feature an incomparably sensuous visual style yet at the same time often record the injustice of the disenfranchised and the cross-pollination of East and West. Her twin themes of realism and romance make for dazzling cinema. Noted film authority John Kenneth Muir analyzes all of Nair's work." "Among those interviewed for this book are the actors Gena Rowlands (Hysterical Blindness) and Naveen Andrews (Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, 1997); My Own Country, 1998), currently a star of TV's Lost; and Julian Fellowes, the screen writer of Vanity Fair."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.

INDIA ; EXHIBITION. INDIA ; MULTIPLEX CINEMAS. INDIA ; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA. INDIA Summary: During the decade of its existence in India, the multiplex cinema has been very much a sign of the times - both a stmptom of new social values. Indicative of a consistent push to create a 'globalised' consuming middle class and a new urban environment, multiplex theatres have thus become key sites in the long-running struggle over cultural legitimacy and the right to public space in Indian cities.
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive account of the new leisure infrasructure arising at the intersection between contemporary trends in cultural practice and the spational politics that are reshaping the cities of India. Exploring the significance, and convergence, of economic liberalisation, urban redevelopment and the media explosion in India, the book demonstrates an innovative approach towards the cultural and political economy of leisure in a complex and rapidly changing society.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p.[225]-238) and indexISBN: 9780414533591Contents: 1. Situating the multiplex as a research object -- 2. From cinema hall to multiplex : a public history -- 3. Film exhibition and the economic logic of the multiplex -- 4.

The wide-ranqinq analytic strategies in the collection - including ethnographic self-reflection, literary comparison, economic contextualization, and biographic study - bear witness to Hindi cinema's aesthetically elaborate and politically entangled treatment of postcolonial concerns. Together, these essays invite fresh, critically informed engagements with many of the key issues and creative tensions that continue to shape the world's most prolific film industry. For connoisseurs and critics of Hindi cinema alike, Once Upon a Time in Bollywood presents stirring insights into popular culture"--BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781894770408Contents: Introduction: Globalization: The Musical / Gurbir Jolly -- Doing Bombay Darshan: The IMF, Structural Adjustment and National Identity in the Hindi Film Industry / Susan Dewey -- Globalizing Bombay Cinema: Reproducing the Indian State and Family / Monika Mehta -- Imagi Nation: The Reconfiguration of National Identity in Bombay Cinema in the 1990s / Radhika Desai -- From Artist-as-Hero to the Creative Young Man: Bollywood and the Aestheticization of Indian Masculinity / Nitin Deckha -- Gender, Nation, and Globalization in Monsoon Wedding and Dilwale Dulhania Le jayenge / Jenny Sharpe -- Viewing the West Through Bollywood: A Celluloid Occident in the Making / RAVlNDER KAUR -- Tempting Sights and Seven Seas: The Diasporic Self, Bollywood and the Gendered Politics of National Longing / Usamah Ansari -- The Trials of a Faithful Brahmin Wife, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Roja / Sonia Benjamin -- Power and Representation in Modern Indian Cinema: Case Studies from the Toronto Film Festival (1994) / Ahmad Saidullah -- Phoolan Devi's Open Letter to the Director of the Toronto International Film Festival -- Statement From the Director of the Toronto International Film Festival -- Defining Truth: An Interview with Shekhar Kapur -- Bollywood's Female Fantasies of Resistance: Online Fan Discourse and Modern Indian Identity / Jennifer Thomas -- Nargis and Aurora Zogoiby: Imaging Mother and Nation in Mehboob Khan's Mother India and Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh / Florian Stadtler

The book demonstrates how the struggles of women and the dispossessed and marginalised in Indian society have found an eloquent expression in films as diverse as Nishant, Bhumika, Mandi, Suraj Ka Satwan Ghoda and Kalyug. The book also traces Benegal's work with his proteges and collaborators including many of the biggest names in Indian Cinema - Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Govind Nihalani and more recently commercial stars Karishma Kapoor and A.R. Rahman - developing a style and ethos uniquely his.

Why has the relationship between the nation and film become so widely and uncritically accepted? Theorising National Cinema is a major contribution to work on national cinemas, by many of the leading scholars in the filed. It addresses the knotty and complex relationships between cinema and national identity, showing that the nationality of a cinema production company, and of the films it made, have not always been seen as pertinent. The volume begins by reviewing and rethinking the concept of national cinema in an age of globalisation, and it goes on to chart the parallel developments of national film industries and the idea of the nation state in countries as diverse as Japan, South Korea, Russia, France and Italy. The issue of a 'national cinema' for nation states of contested status, with disputed borders or displaced peoples, is discussed in relation to film-making in Taiwan, Ireland and Palestine. The contributors also consider the future of national cinema in an age of transnational cultural flows, exploring issues of national identity and cinema in Latin America, Asia, the Middle-East, India, Africa and Europe.ISBN: 1844571203

It shows how Bollywood cinema has always crossed borders and boundaries: from the British Malaya, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad, Mauritius, and East and South Africa to the former USSR, West Asia, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Australia. While looking at the meanings of nation, diaspora, home, and identity in cinematic texts and contexts, the essays also examine how localities are produced in the new global process by broadly addressing nationalism, regionalism, and transnationalism, politics, and aesthetics, as well as spectatorship and viewing contexts." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 0198075987; 9780198075981Contents: pt. 1 Modernity, Globalization, Globality -- 1.Bollywood, Postcolonial Transformation, and Modernity / Bill Ashcroft -- 2.Cultural Flows, Travelling Shows: Bombay Talkies, Global Times / Makarand Paranjape -- 3.Mustard Fields, Exotic Tropes, and Travels through Meandering Pathways: Reframing the Yash Raj Trajectory / Madhuja Mukherjee -- pt. 2 Love Across the Border -- 4.The Lahore Film Industry: A Historical Sketch / Ishtiaq Ahmed -- 5.From Chandigarh to Vancouver: Reimagining Home and Identity in the Films of Harbhajan Mann / Nicola Mooney -- 6.Bollywood, Tollywood, Dollywood: Re-visiting Cross-border Flows and the Beat of the 1970s in the Context of Globalization / Anuradha Ghosh 7.
