Muse Movies celebrates 100 years of Indian Cinema
As part of the celebrations, 10 benchmark films are being made that will change the perception about cinema, set futuristic trends, redefine its course and make it more magnificent
100 years of Indian Cinema muse is a unique celebration of Indian Cinema initiated by Muse Movies that analyses and assimilates social, political, literary, artistic, economic and scientific aspects of cinema and endeavours to make cinema more productive for the society. It provides a platform that blends various forms of art together - painting, films, music, theater and literature - into one cultural movement.
As part of the celebrations, 10 benchmark films are being made that will change the perception about cinema, set futuristic trends, redefine its course and make it more magnificent. The 10 breakthrough films will talk about the need for cinema for children as well as for the visually challenged; the symbiosis between cinema, politics, media; cinema as a source of inspiration; the business of film criticism, the cold war between makers and audiences and other relevant subjects that compile the past, contemporary state and future that lies ahead of Indian Cinema. These 10 different films are part of one feature film.
Manoj Maurya, Founder Director of 100 years of Indian Cinema Muse, observed, “To-day, all forms of art are evolving beyond their domains and experimenting with each other. Cinema, too, should go beyond the multiplexes and become subject of research, school curriculum, humanities and several more areas. 100 years of Indian Cinema muse is a cultural and psycho-social renaissance of Indian Cinema.”
The Indian Cinema Muse is inviting filmmakers across the country and the world to ex-press their views on 100 years of Indian Cinema through ‘Expressions - a short film contest, which will be judged by eminent juries.
Muse Movies is also involved in helping build an online museum that will house personal collections of objects, films, and other memorabilia related to Indian Cinema. It could be an autograph, a photograph, a gift, vintage posters, video clips, or any belongings that is related to Indian Cinema.
The initiative pioneered by Muse Movies plans to establish a culturally rich holistic movement with art exhibition, installations, films, musical play and, most importantly, participation of people.
