About the Book: IndiaS Film Society Movement The Journey and its Impact
First comprehensive account of the seven-decade long journey of the Film
Society Movement in India and how it helped Indian cinema come into its own.
Till 1950s, 80 per cent of the films screened in India were from abroad. Today,
only 10 per cent films shown in India are of foreign origin. This massive
transformation is credited to the historic Film Society Movement in India, which
became a catalyst to a new film culture as we see it today.
