Indian Cinematic Arts presents Indian Cinema: American Lenses, photo-exhibition and film screening
About the event:
The photo exhibition with its lyrical photographs shows us the human face of Indian cinemagoers who have made “Bollywood” – the Indian film industry, as alive as it is today. It displays the fantastical, spectacle-rich films that compel as many as fourteen million people to the cinema on a single day in India alone. The photographs show the radiance and beauty of a crumpled ticket stub, a ripped movie poster, and a cluttered cinema floor alike, portraying lives of thousands who work hard behind the scene to make the dream possible.
About the photographer:
Jonathan Torgovnik’s began his career as a combat photographer in the Israeli army. It was in 1991, during a bag pack journey to India that Jonathan discovered Bollywood and experienced first hand how deeply cinema is rooted in Indian culture. Thereafter he decided to embark on his trip to start the project of documenting Bollywood and recently published a book on the same.
Jonathan has a BFA from School of Visual Arts where he received an award for outstanding achievement in photography. In 1997 he won the Kodak Professional Photographers Award.
