Industrial Networks and Cinemas of India: Shooting Stars, Shifting Geographies and Multiplying Media - Paperback

by Monika Mehta (Editor), Madhuja Mukherjee (Editor)

This volume points to the limits of models such as regional, national, and transnational, and develops 'network' as a conceptual category to study cinemas of India. It addresses themes such as transgressive female figures; networks of authors and technicians; trans-regional production links and changing technologies; and new media geographies.
