Day 5: Tomorrow marks the 83th Anniversary for the release of Indias first talkie - Alam Ara - at the Majestic (no longer part of the Mumbai cinemascape), directed by the imperious Ardeshir Irani with Master Vithal and Zubeida dancing around the pole, which would become a garden after formulaic experimentation in the decades to follow. Naturally, today, these films and all related publicity materials and documents are part of our cultural heritage, a rich and heavily textured world, capable of unfolding magical tangents of learning. Yet, we still lack credible institutions to effectively share and make our public fall in love with this heritage. osianama/ is our next step forward after 20 years of effort in research, building the archives, libraries and collections. We truly hope that as our technological base strengthens over the coming months it will become one of the most respected educational platforms for the Indian arts, cinema and cultural heritage. Let us see what time unfolds.
