Cinema Cinema: My Sixties

By Sukumar Shidore

'Cinema Cinema - My Sixties' is an unusual collection of articles on cinema by a passionate cineaste who lived through those sprightly 1960's. He has been relentlessly visiting cinema halls, film festival venues and film society screenings, and picking films - be they Indian or European- for their peculiar qualities. Each article on a specific film is incisive and yet more or less self-explanatory. The reader need not have previously watched the film in order to enjoy the article. Then, there are quite a few general write-ups, too. For instance, articles on realism in Indian cinema, portrayal of women on the screen, and films in integration. A Marathi heroine's poignant autobiography has been highlighted by a special article. A section is devoted to the author's pithy letters published in various journals. The contents are multi-faceted. The book should indeed provide delightful reading experience for the discerning reader.
Sukumar Shidore has worked in responsible positions in the Film Finance Corporation, Gramophone Company of India (HMV) and the Indian Music Industry. He has been writing since his student days. Currently, apart from occasional political writing, he is engaged in translating Urdu short stories into Marathi for publication.
