If ever you find a good and complete books on indian cinema contact me. Thanks<BR/><BR/>Richard S. - Thanks, I already knew about his site because I am going into south asian studies this fall at Concordia , but befor I chose I was looking at the south asian programs in the US until I figured out it costs 10X more to go to university in the States than in Quebec. Thanks<BR/><BR/>Stephen - Wow you are so lucky to have seen the best Kathak dancers in New York. My teacher learned at a young age from Pandit Chitresh Das but then mostly from Birju Maharaj in Delhi.ThanksStella_1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15145030727795627503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883917711302486029.post-9700741509050772562008-06-19T13:24:00.000-04:002008-06-19T13:24:00.000-04:00hi hi hi - I have been wondering what happened to ...hi hi hi - I have been wondering what happened to you, it is probably a good time to save money, the way things are going!<BR/><BR/>So, you are a Kathak student. It's probably my favorite dance form.<BR/><BR/>I did get to see the masters Birju Maharaj and Zakir Hussain go at it together here in the Twin Cities just a few weeks ago. What a treat, it was awesome! Of which lineage is your school from?<BR/><BR/>I hope your search for more info bears fruit - I always thought it was a shame that Satyajit Ray gets the lion's share of attention in the west, while other worthies are simply unknown. I would like to see Criterion start with Raj Kapoor's films someday soon.<BR/><BR/>But then most westerners I know have long since dismissed "Bollywood" as they have only been exposed to the more base and typified commercial examples... <BR/><BR/>Thanks to the other posters for <BR/>more information!isfahanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579449883037742756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883917711302486029.post-55647244545817246642008-06-18T10:50:00.000-04:002008-06-18T10:50:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883917711302486029.post-42400390528164456932008-06-13T03:09:00.000-04:002008-06-13T03:09:00.000-04:00Hi, Stella_1.

An interesting coincidence: Within about an hour of the time that I visited this post, I also happened to find an interesting site containing lots of papers on Hindi films, from Philip Lutgendorf, who is apparently a professor of South Asian Studies. It's over here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.uiowa.edu/~incinema/index.html<BR/><BR/>This site also contains a syllabus - with lots of very interesting-looking books and articles - for a course in Hindi cinema that he taught in 2004. It is "popular" cinema, though - doesn't seem to be much underground stuff covered here - but it does look like a good resource for people writing papers on Hindi films: <BR/><BR/>http://www.uiowa.edu/~incinema/Syllabus.htm<BR/><BR/>And by the way, another coincidence is that I stumbled upon his site while I was looking for more information on the film "Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai," with Padmini and Raj Kapoor...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883917711302486029.post-62676474702065345502008-06-12T10:25:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:25:00.000-04:00There is definitely a dearth of good in-depth book...There is definitely a dearth of good in-depth books about Hindi cinema...especially about lesser-known (but very prolific) directors and actors.<BR/><BR/>One volume I like (but it is expensive) is Encyclopedia Britannica's "Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema".
