{"product_id":"cinema-aur-sansar","title":"Cinema Aur Sansar","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter Ritwik Ghatak and Satyajit Ray, Kumar Shahani and Mani Kaul are perhaps the most important filmmakers in India. Their films have not only fundamentally changed the way we view films, but through their light, we have discovered, or can discover, ways to experience reality and ourselves in a different way. Every film Kumar has made is a classic in its own way. His films have been a constant source of inspiration for experimental and visionary filmmakers around the world. It is no coincidence that Kumar Shahani is considered one of the worlds foremost cinema teachers. In each of his films, Kumar explores new avenues of filmmaking, and in this pursuit, he constantly strives to understand and explore the traditions of Indian performing arts and music, especially in depth. His films take shape through a dialogue with Indian and global art traditions. It is always a pleasure to talk to Kumar Shahani. He seems to carry within him the currents of all the worlds art traditions, whether it be Khayal music or miniature painting, Western classical music or Kudiyattam dance, Dhrupad music or devotional poetry, or the constant rotation of dervishes on their axis. Theres no telling when, in conversation, hell linger on a distant, almost unseen, philosophical perspective about a particular musical form. Thats why talking to him is inevitably a profound artistic and philosophical experience.
