Mani Kaul’s demise a great loss to film industry: Contemporary fim-makers

Mani Kaul's demise a great loss to film industry: Contemporary fim-makers

ontemporaries of veteran film-maker, Mani Kaul (67), who passed away in Delhi at about 1 am on Wednesday, said his death marked curtains on an era of cinema as a classical art.

He was suffering from cancer. Kaul graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in 1966. His debut film, Uski Roti (1969), is widely believed to have paved the way for the 'new wave' Indian cinema.

Suresh Chhabria, former professor of the film appreciation course said, "He (Kaul) was a friend and we lived in south Mumbai together. Along with being a brilliant film-maker, he was a brilliant teacher as well. His classes were eye-opening and life-changing."

Four years after passing out from the FTII, he made films like Uski Roti and Bhuvan Shome. "His work was very ambitious and different. He was interested in cinema as a pure medium — the way a classical musician approaches music. I hope his films are preserved," Chhabria added.

Film-maker Girish Kasaravalli, who describes Kaul as a "very warm person and keen observer" said, "Kaul's clarity of cinema, style of film-making, form and expression was very unique. Indian cinema had become very stagnant in the terms of methods of expressions. Mani Kaul changed the scenario. Indian cinema should be grateful to him. He had a different interpretation of everything."

Senior film-maker Basu Chatterjee, who regarded Kaul as the pioneer of parallel cinema, told DNA over the phone, "Mani Kaul made very different films. He even acted in my film, Sara Akash. Few know that he used to sing classical songs too."

Indian new wave filmmaker Mani Kaul dies

Mani Kaul, one of the leading figures of India's new wave movement of the 1970s, died on July 7 of cancer. He was 66.

Kaul was a graduate of the Pune-based Film and Television Institute of India where he studied under leading Bengali filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak. He made his debut with Uski Roti in 1970, which was critically acclaimed, but criticised by mainstream media for moving away from Hindi cinema's traditional song-and-dance format.

He made 24 features, documentaries and shorts during his career including Duvidha, which won the Interfilm award at Berlin's Forum in 1975, and Naukar Ki Kameez, which won the Netpac award at Rotterdam in 1999. Other notable films include Ghashiram Kotwal (1976),Siddheshwari (1990) and Dostoevksy adaptation Idiot(1991).

He was a member of the jury at the Berlin film festival in 1971 and was director of Osian's Cinefan Film Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema at the time of his death.

"Generations of film makers during the 1960s to the 1980s considered Mani this iconic director, who did it his way and implicitly scorned the mediocre majority," said Osian's chief Neville Tuli.

India's National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) described Kaul as a legend who would be deeply missed. He directed Uski Roti and Nazar for the NFDC and worked closely with the organisation on Ashad Ka Ek Din andDuvidha, both of which Kaul also produced.

"Mani Kaul was truly a pioneer of new Indian cinema and we deeply mourn his loss. He was a legend whose loss will be mourned by all film connoisseurs and students of cinema," NFDC managing director Nina Lath Gupta said in a statement.

[edit]Early life and education

Born as Rabindranath Kaul in Jodhpur, Rajasthan into a Kashmiri Pandit Kaul family, he first joined Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune as an acting student and later shifted to the direction course, graduating in 1966.[2]

He was the nephew of actor-director Mahesh Kaul. Initially studying acting at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, he changed over to directing. He is a 1966 graduate of the FTII.[2]

[edit]Professional life

His first film Uski Roti (1969) has been described as "one of the key films of the New Indian Cinema or the Indian New Wave".[2] It marked a drastic departure from earlier Indian cinema techique, form and narrative. It was one of the early formal experimental films in Indian cinema.

Asad ka Ek Din (1971), his next film, was based on a play by Mohan Rakesh.

Duvidha (1973), his third, was his first in colour. It grew out of a short story by Vijayan Detha and tells the story of a merchant's son, who returns with his new bride to have to depart on family business. A ghost falls in love with the bride... It was widely shown across Europe.

Mani Kaul was one of the co-founders of the Yukt Film Co-operative (Union of Kinematograph Technicians) in 1976, leading to avantgarde films. Critics[2] suggest that in "Mani Kaul's cinematic conception, fiction and documentary films have no clear demarcated dividing line." He also taught music in the Netherlands, and was Creative Director of the film house at Osian's Connoisseurs of Art, Mumbai.

[edit]Career

In 1971, he was a member of the jury at the 21st Berlin International Film Festival.[3]

He was a visiting lecturer at Harvard University for the 2000–2001 school year.[4] Currently he was the Creative Director of the Film House at Osian's Connoisseurs of Art, Mumbai.

[edit]Personal life and death

He was a nephew of the noted Hindi film director Mahesh Kaul, who made films like Raj Kapoor starrer Sapnon Ka Saudagar (1968). Mani Kaul died on 6 July 2011 at his home in Gurgaon, near Delhi. He had been ailing for sometime.[5][6]

According to a tribute[6] from Prabha Mahajan on the Indian documentary film discussion network Docuwallahs2[[1]], Mani Kaul's significant body of work included both feature films and documentaries. In an interview Mani stated: "The dividing line from my films and documentaries is thin. Some of my films like "Siddheshwari" are like poetic documentaries." Mani Kaul's fellow alumni from FTII intend to put together a collective tribute to Mani Kaul and his work, and interested persons were invited to send in their thoughts on Mani as a film maker, teacher/ mentor, colleague, and as a person.

Indian film critic Khalid Mohamed commented[7], " As a film director, he discussed the status of women (Uski Roti, Duvidha), crafted visually seductive documentaries (Arrival, Before My Eyes, A Desert of a Thousand Lines) and went through a spell of interpreting Fyodor Dostoevsky's masterworks. The Russian writer's short story A Gentle Creature inspired Nazar, shot in low, chiaroscuro lighting."

The Indian New Wave, commonly known in India as Art Cinema or Parallel Cinema as an alternative to the mainstream commercial cinema, is a specific movement in Indian cinema, known for its serious content, realism and naturalism, with a keen eye on the sociopoliticalclimate of the times. This movement is distinct from mainstream Bollywood cinema and began around the same time as the French New Wave and Japanese New Wave. The movement was initially led by Bengali cinema (which has produced internationally acclaimed filmmakers such as Satyajit RayMrinal SenRitwik Ghatak, and others) and then gained prominence in the other film industries of India.

 [hide]

[edit]History

[edit]Origins

Realism in Indian cinema dates back to the 1920s and 1930s. One of the earliest examples was V. Shantaram's 1925 silent film classicSawkari Pash (Indian Shylock), about a poor peasant (portrayed by Shantaram) who "loses his land to a greedy moneylender and is forced to migrate to the city to become a mill worker. Acclaimed as a realistic breakthrough, its shot of a howling dog near a hut, has become a milestone in the march of Indian cinema." The 1937 Shantaram film Duniya Na Mane (The Unaccepted) also critiqued the treatment of women in Indian society.[1]

[edit]Early years

The Parallel Cinema movement began to take shape from the late 1940s to the 1960s, by pioneers such as Satyajit RayRitwik Ghatak,Bimal RoyMrinal SenKhwaja Ahmad AbbasChetan AnandGuru Dutt and V. Shantaram. This period is considered part of the 'Golden Age' of Indian cinema.[2][3][4] Film makers of this era have collectively created a body of work known of its technical brilliance as well as artistic simplicity and thematic grandeur.

This cinema borrowed heavily from the Indian literature of the times, hence became an important study of the contemporary Indian society, and is now used by scholars and historians alike to map the changing demographics the and socio-economic as well political temperament of the Indian populace. Right from its inception, Indian cinema has had people who wanted to and did use the medium for more than entertainment. They used it to highlight prevalent issues and sometimes to throw open new issues for the public. An early example was Chetan Anand's Neecha Nagar (1946), a social realist film that won the Grand Prize at the first Cannes Film Festival.[5] Since then, Indian independent films were frequently in competition for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, with some of them winning major prizes at the festival.

During the 1950s and the 1960s, intellectual filmmakers and story writers became frustrated with musical films. To counter this, they created a genre of films which depicted reality from an artful perspective. Most films made during this period were funded by state governments to promote an authentic art genre from the Indian film fraternity. The most famous Indian "neo-realist" was the Bengali film director Satyajit Ray, followed by Shyam BenegalMrinal SenAdoor Gopalakrishnan and Girish Kasaravalli. Ray's most famous films were Pather Panchali(1955), Aparajito (1956) and The World of Apu (1959), which formed The Apu Trilogy. Produced on a shoestring budget of Rs. 150,000 ($3000),[6][7] the three films won major prizes at the CannesBerlin and Venice Film Festivals, and are today frequently listed among thegreatest films of all time.[8][9][10][11]

Certain art films have also garnered commercial success, in an industry known for its surrealism or 'fantastical' movies, and successfully combined features of both art and commercial cinema. An early example of this was Bimal Roy's Do Bigha Zamin (1953), which was both a commercial and critical success. The film won the International Prize at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival and paved the way for the Indian New Wave.[12][13][14] Hrishikesh Mukherjee, one of Hindi cinema's most successful filmmakers, was named the pioneer of 'middle cinema', and was renowned for making films that reflected the changing middle-class ethos. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Mukherjee "carved a middle path between the extravagance of mainstream cinema and the stark relism of art cinema".[15] Another filmmaker to integrate art and commercial cinema was Guru Dutt, whose film Pyaasa (1957) featured in Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies list.[16]

In the 1960s, the Indian government began financing independent art films based on Indian themes. Many of the directors were graduates of the FTII (Film and Television Institute of India), in Pune. The Bengali film director Ritwik Ghatak was a professor at the institute and a well-known director. Unlike Ray, however, Ghatak did not gain international fame during his lifetime. For example, Ghatak's Nagarik (1952) was perhaps the earliest example of a Bengali art film, preceding Ray's Pather Panchali by three years, but was not released until after his death in 1977.[17][18] His first commercial release Ajantrik (1958) was also one of the earliest films to portray an inanimate object, in this case anautomobile, as a character in the story, many years before the Herbie films.[19] The protagonist of Ajantrik, Bimal, can also be seen as an influence on the cynical cab driver Narasingh (played by Soumitra Chatterjee) in Satyajit Ray's Abhijan (1962).[20]

[edit]Growth

Smita Patil as Usha, in Shyam Benegal'sBhumika (1977).

During the 1970s and the 1980s, parallel cinema entered into the limelight of Hindi cinema to a much wider extent. This was led by such directors as GulzarShyam Benegal and Saeed Akhtar Mirza, and later on Mahesh Bhatt and Govind Nihalani, becoming the main directors of this period's Indian art cinema. Benegal's directorial debut, Ankur (Seeding, 1974) was a major critical success, and was followed by numerous works that created another field in the movement. These filmmakers tried to promote realism in their own different styles, though many of them often accepted certain conventions of popular cinema.[21] Parallel cinema of this time gave careers to a whole new breed of young actors, including Shabana AzmiSmita PatilAmol PalekarOm PuriNaseeruddin ShahKulbhushan KharbandaPankaj Kapoor, and even actors from commercial cinema like Rekha and Hema Malini ventured into art cinema.

Adoor Gopalakrishnan extended the Indian New Wave to Malayalam cinema with his filmSwayamvaram in 1972. Long after the Golden Age of Indian cinema, Malayalam cinema experienced its own 'Golden Age' in the 1980s and early 1990s. Some of the most acclaimed Indian filmmakers at the time were from the Malayalam industry, including Adoor Gopalakrishnan, G. AravindanPadmarajanJohn Abraham (director)T. V. Chandran and Shaji N. Karun.[22] Gopalakrishnan, who is often considered to be Satyajit Ray's spiritual heir,[23] directed some of his most acclaimed films during this period, including Elippathayam (1981) which won the Sutherland Trophy at the London Film Festival, as well as Mathilukal (1989) which won major prizes at the Venice Film Festival.[24] Shaji N. Karun's debut film Piravi (1989) won theCamera d'Or at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, while his second film Swaham (1994) was in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.[25]

Girish KasaravalliGirish Karnad and B. V. Karanth led the way for parallel cinema in the Kannada film industry, while Mani Ratnam andKamal Haasan have done the same for Tamil cinema.

[edit]Decline

By the early 1990s, the rising costs involved in film production and the commercialization of the films had a negative impact on the art films. The fact that investment returns cannot be guaranteed made art films less popular amongst filmmakers. Underworld financing, political and economic turmoil, television and piracy proved to be fatal threat to parallel cinema, as it declined.

[edit]Resurgence

The term "parallel cinema" has started being applied to off-beat films produced in Bollywood, where art films have begun experiencing a resurgence. This led to the emergence of a distinct genre known as Mumbai noir,[26] urban films reflecting social problems in the city of Mumbai.[27]

Other modern examples of art films produced in Bollywood which are classified as part of the parallel cinema genre include Mani Ratnam's Dil Se (1998) and Yuva (2004), Nagesh Kukunoor's3 Deewarein (2003) and Dor (2006), Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2005), Jahnu Barua's Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara (2005), Pan Nalin's Valley of Flowers (2006), Nandita Das'Firaaq (2008), Onir's My Brother… Nikhil (2005) and Bas Ek Pal (2006), Anurag Kashyap'sDev.D (2009) and Gulaal (2009) and Piyush Jha's Sikandar (2009) .

Independent films spoken in Indian English are also occasionally produced; examples includeRevathi's Mitr, My Friend (2002), Aparna Sen's Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2002) and 15 Park Avenue(2006), Anant Balani's Joggers' Park (2003), Piyush Jha's King of Bollywood (2004), Homi Adajania's Being Cyrus (2006), Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear (2007) and Sooni Taraporevala'sLittle Zizou (2009).

Other Indian art film directors active today include Mrinal SenBuddhadeb DasguptaGautam GhoseSandip Ray (Satyajit Ray's son) andRituparno Ghosh in Bengali cinemaAdoor GopalakrishnanShaji N. Karun and T. V. Chandran in Malayalam cinemaMani KaulKumar ShahaniKetan MehtaGovind Nihalani and Shyam Benegal [28] and Deepa Mehta in Hindi cinema; K. Viswanath in Telugu cinema and Mani Ratnam, Bala and Kamal Haasan in Tamil cinema.

[edit]Global discourse

Satyajit Ray, one of the most famous Indian independent filmmakers.

During the formative period of Indian parallel cinema in the 1940s and 1950s, the movement was influenced by Italian cinema and French cinema, particularly by Italian neorealism as well as Frenchpoetic realismSatyajit Ray particularly cited Italian filmmaker Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves(1948) and French filmmaker Jean Renoir's The River (1951), which he assisted, as influences on his debut film Pather Panchali (1955), alongside influences from Bengali literature and classical Indian theatre.[29] Bimal Roy's Do Bigha Zamin (1953) was also influenced by De Sica's Bicycle Thieves. The Indian New Wave also began around the same time as the French New Wave and the Japanese New Wave.

Ever since Chetan Anand's Neecha Nagar won the Grand Prize at the inaugural Cannes Film Festivalin 1946,[30] Indian parallel cinema films frequently appeared in international fora and film festivals for the next several decades.[31] This allowed Indian independent filmmakers to reach a global audience. The most influential among them was Satyajit Ray, whose films became successful among European,American and Asian audiences.[32] His work subsequently had a worldwide impact, with filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese,[33] James Ivory,[34] Abbas KiarostamiElia KazanFrançois Truffaut,[35]Carlos Saura,[36] Isao Takahata[37] and Wes Anderson[38] being influenced by his cinematic style, and many others such as Akira Kurosawa praising his work.[39] The "youthful coming-of-age dramasthat have flooded art houses since the mid-fifties owe a tremendous debt to the Apu trilogy" (1955–1959).[40] Ray's film Kanchenjungha (1962) introduced a narrative structure that resembles later hyperlink cinema.[41] Ray's 1967 script for a film to be called The Alien, which was eventually cancelled, is widely believed to have been the inspiration for Steven Spielberg's E.T.(1982).[42][43][44] Ira SachsForty Shades of Blue (2005) was a loose remake of Charulata, and in Gregory Nava's My Family (1995), the final scene is duplicated from the final scene of The World of Apu (1959). Similar references to Ray films are found in recent works such asSacred Evil (2006),[45] the Elements trilogy of Deepa Mehta, and in films of Jean-Luc Godard.[46]

Another prominent filmmaker is Mrinal Sen, whose films have been well-known for their Marxist views. During his career, Mrinal Sen's film have received awards from almost all major film festivals, including CannesBerlinVeniceMoscowKarlovy VaryMontrealChicago, andCairo. Retrospectives of his films have been shown in almost all major cities of the world.[47]

Another Bengali independent filmmaker, Ritwik Ghatak, began reaching a global audience long after his death; beginning in the 1990s, a project to restore Ghatak's films was undertaken, and international exhibitions (and subsequent DVD releases) have belatedly generated an increasingly global audience. Alongside Ray's films, Ghatak's films have also appeared in several all-time greatest film polls. A number of Satyajit Ray films appeared in the Sight & Sound Critics' Poll, including The Apu Trilogy (ranked #4 in 1992 if votes are combined),[48] The Music Room (ranked #27 in 1992), Charulata (ranked #41 in 1992)[49] and Days and Nights in the Forest (ranked #81 in 1982).[50] The 2002Sight & Sound critics' and directors' poll also included the Guru Dutt films Pyaasa and Kaagaz Ke Phool (both tied at #160), and the Ritwik Ghatak films Meghe Dhaka Tara (ranked #231) and Komal Gandhar (ranked #346).[51] In 1998, the critics' poll conducted by the Asian filmmagazine Cinemaya included The Apu Trilogy (ranked #1 if votes are combined), Ray's Charulata and The Music Room (both tied at #11), and Ghatak's Subarnarekha (also tied at #11).[52] In 1999, The Village Voice top 250 "Best Film of the Century" critics' poll also included The Apu Trilogy (ranked #5 if votes are combined).[9] The Apu TrilogyPyaasa and Mani Ratnam's Nayagan were also included in Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies list in 2005.[16] In 1992, the Sight & Sound Critics' Poll ranked Ray at #7 in its list of "Top 10 Directors" of all time,[53] while Dutt was ranked #73 in the 2002 Sight & Sound greatest directors poll.[54]

The cinematographer Subrata Mitra, who made his debut with Ray's The Apu Trilogy, also had an importance influence on cinematographyacross the world. One of his most important techniques was bounce lighting, to recreate the effect of daylight on sets. He pioneered the technique while filming Aparajito (1956), the second part of The Apu Trilogy.[55] Some of the experimental techniques which Satyajit Ray pioneered include photo-negative flashbacks and X-ray digressions while filming Pratidwandi (1972).[56]
