Kolkata is the Cultural Capital of India. It has long been known for its literary, artistic and revolutionary heritage. As the former capital of India, Kolkata was the birthplace of modern Indian literary, artistic and scholastic thought. Kolkatans tend to have a special appreciation for art and literature; its tradition of welcoming new talent has made it a “city of furious creative energy”.
While Mumbai is the capital of commercial cinemas in India, Kolkata is the house of art-films. Stalwarts like Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, Aparna Sen, Budhdhadeb Dasgupta, Gautam Ghose, Rituparno Ghosh are the pride of Kolkata. Kolkata Film Festival, held annually across several cinema theatres in the city serves to the taste of Kolkata people for cinema from all over the world. Nandan is a popular cinema complex in the premiers of Rabindra Sadan, maintained by the state government. This theatre complex holds regular shows of national and international cinema.
The influences of various genres of movies are clearly visible through the various posters stick in streets. Every poster makes another story altogether. Film posters are a form of art but they are often forgotten. This year the Indian Cinema Competed 100 years, so it’s my little tribute to Indian Cinema.
