Film: A glimpse into the world’s largest
film industry
"1947 Earth:
Deepa Mehta" (1998) –
104 minutes
This is a story of the Partition seen
through the eyes of the young Lenny,
turning her world upside down. It
is the story of savagery and massacre
in the name of religion. Lenny takes
you into the pre-partition and post-partition
era where love struggles to survive
amidst hatred. The story of the division
of one secular country into two countries
on the basis of religion. The destruction
of innocence, by greed wearing the
garb of religion, was the price of
this sectarian war.

"Rang De
Basanti (“Color Me Saffron”): Rakeysh
Omprakash Mehra" (2006)
– 162 minutes
A story about the youth of India today.
A young, London-based filmmaker chances
upon the diaries of her grandfather,
who served in the British Police Force
in India during the freedom struggle.
Excited about these memoirs, she makes
plans to shoot a film on the Indian
revolutionaries mentioned in the diaries.
She comes down to Delhi, and casts
a group of five college friends to
play the pivotal roles of the revolutionaries.
In the film both the 1930s British
India and the India today run parallel
and intersect with each other at crucial
points. As the film reaches its resolution
the line between past and present
blurs, as they become one in spirit.
This film has been hailed as one of
the best films out of India by critics
all over the world, and is also a
frontrunner as India’s official entry
to the Oscars.

India through
Film: A glimpse into the world’s largest
film industry
"Deepa
Mehta" (2005) – 114 minutes
Set in the 1930s during the rise of
the independence struggles against
British colonial rule, the film examines
the plight of a group of widows forced
into poverty at a temple in the holy
city of Varanasi. Water is an exquisite
film about the institutionalized oppression
of an entire class of women and the
way patriarchal imperatives inform
religious belief. This final chapter
in Deepa Mehta’s trilogy was shelved
the first time it was being filmed
due to angry mobs destroying the sets.
Mehta then restarted the film several
years later with a whole new cast,
in a secret location, and with a fake
running title.

The inspiring story of a deaf, mute

a single minded obsession, he takes
up a challenge that is next to impossible
– to lead this wild, uncontrollable

obstacles, even ridicule, as they
tread the path less taken.

"India
through Film: A glimpse into the world’s
largest film industry"
Sarkar: Ram Gopal Varma (2005) – 125
minutes
Inspired by the Francis Ford
Coppola’s classic ‘The Godfather’,
the story of this film is located
in an Indian milieu and particularly
so in the context of Mumbai’s power
superstructure. The title character
is a man who has rewritten the law.
He has risen with time and circumstance
to wield unchecked and autocratic
authority over the people living in
a so-called democratic form of governance.
By nature, he possesses the ability,
the charisma, the intelligence and
the Machiavellian cunning to control
the working of the city, in all its
various aspects. He even dispenses
justice when the common man cannot
obtain it from the law keepers – the
government, the police and the judiciary.
Sarkar is a volatile film dealing
with crime, greed, love, family relationships
and retribution.

India through
Film: A glimpse into the world’s largest
film industry
Iqbal: Nagesh Kukunoor (2005)
– 163 minutes
A movie
about bravery and the willingness
to follow your dream in the face of
adversity. The enchanting film is
set against the backdrop of the national
obsession – cricket! Iqbal is an 18-year-old
deaf and mute boy from a small village.
He harbors one dream to make it to
the Indian national cricket team.
Unable to attend any kind of vocational
school, Iqbal spends his time on the
farms, secretly practicing his passion.
His father forbids him from even being
part of an academy. A shattered Iqbal
picks up the pieces and enlists the
help of the town drunk Mohit, who
once was a promising cricketer, to
coach him. And their journey begins
towards the seemingly insurmountable
goal of making the national team.

University
"Student
Writing Across and Against the Disciplines:
Extending Cultural Studies Pedagogy"
12:00 p.m. 212 MacMillan Hall
This workshop addresses
the particular challenges, as well
as the promise, of developing student
writing in courses conceptualized
as interdisciplinary or even anti-disciplinary.
Such courses need to attend to the
possibility that disciplinary ways
of knowing and writing can constrain
students’ critical thinking. In this
workshop, we will assess the strengths
and limitations of two nondisciplinary
models of writing for cultural studies
classrooms. The first model combines
a social science emphasis on how change
happens with a humanities emphasis
on how meanings are shaped and contested
in language. It uses insights gained
by an array of fieldssuch as disability
studies, lgbt/queer studies, and othersas
they emerged from the “cultural turn”
in the humanities and social sciences
as well as from a critical attention
to writing and rhetoric outside the
academy. In the workshop, this combinatory
model will be contrasted with a more
actively anti-disciplinary model.
Examples of student writing about
and around the AIDS Coalition to Unleash
Power (ACT UP) will be used to generate
discussion of these issues.
