To help fill this critical lacuna, \u003ci\u003eReFocus: The Films of Shyam Benegal\u003c\/i\u003e undertakes a closer look at Benegal's films, a trailblazing auteur who successfully redefined the contours of non-commercial Hindi language cinema. This addition to ReFocus: The International Directors Series will consider how Benegal, over the course of his forty year career, used cinema as a potent medium to narrate the story of a nation in continuous transition. The 13 essays in the volume will explore how Benegal's films articulate his concerns over caste, class, gender, religion, and other allied social, economic and political problems characterizing the Indian subcontinent. This collection also includes a full-length interview with Shyam Benegal that investigates his perspectives on the art of film-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sneha Kar Chaudhuri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474452876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474452878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sneha Kar Chaudhuri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233191809279,"sku":"9781474452878","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd30f2a2-7253-47c1-a0ea-60991f0e0aeb.jpg?v=1728992325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refocus-sneha-kar-chaudhuri-9781474452878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
