From Film Festivals to Songbooks: A Collector's Assemblage of Indian Cinema

Centered around a private collection of film memorabilia accumulated over five decades of travels through South Asian film festivals, this project organizes a scholarly day-long symposium of invited scholars of South Asian cinema who reflect on the collection's research value for South Asian film history, film archives, and visual culture. The symposium will be accompanied by an exhibition of the memorabilia in the Allen library lobby, and a graduate micro-seminar taught at the Simpson Center.
