[000:00:00;00] ah, there's always the establishment that makes it difficult for august. so now that to we a hill, we go all the way. now all of the things have changed in the also, and you can repeat the same thing again and again, but like, it doesn't work anymore like back, that's what art can do. new to shift things around with creatives in india's cultural scene, or breaking new ground. we take

a look at bollywood cliches exploring what lies beyond the stereotype. and we need an indian photographer who cure rates and moving portrait of society. but 1st, an artist collective that isn't afraid to shake things up. bangalore, this metropolis of 8000000 people in southern india, is home to act as shiva, pontac, and theater director. near me, robin drama, as sandbox collective, the jewel has been enriching india's independent art scene since 2013. we are hot, this stone, otts, administrators. we are not arts administrators alone, and that also brings in a different kind of perspective. we've done what, what we needed the infrastructure that we didn't have. we wanted it for ourselves. and if it ends up benefiting the logical sphere. yeah. then, but that's great as well. the collected strives to provide a platform for all those representing feminist, queer and marginalized positions, sheba pontac, and me robin drawn a very well connected with bangles,

cultural scene. they know what they can give the city and what the city, kinks to them. there are hundreds of theater company as musicians, all that comes out of bank lloyd, so it's a, it's a testing ground. you know, things are possible in bangalore values that place that, that kind of pushes you to do very big things. but our world also needs very small things, those things on the margins. so i think for something like that bank dollars, great. the gender bender festival has developed around these margins. it offers grants and a safe space for artist to present works on gender, sexuality and identity. this event is unique in asia and has been running successfully since 2015. we were shock because the 1st call went out and we thought we'd probably get like 10 applications and we got 70 or application. and then we realized that there were so many artists who are actually working around the teams of gender, the standard t k, the gender been to festival served as

a kind of incubator. his photography, about queer dream world was well received at home with the window he saw a very important turning point in my life. as an artist, everybody goes to that for still and be blocked you. yes, a boardwalk, this artist showing honda. it's also game hall to our yoke. real practitioners. we both saw for them or even am starting out for me. it is something to look up to. okay, but it's something i can apply for. and i can show my roku, other people to the capital daily. now, where new me, ravenna, run, is buying flowers for the band dust on life. although sandbox collective had no previous experience with music projects. the bad news wanted to g o is produces. the musicians valued the political viewpoints, activism and intensive collaboration,

that sandals collective stands for ah, ah, the 10 member band writes protest songs with lyrics that often quote indian poets. one such quote and dust and live a complaint from hindu nationalists forces a few years ago. which resulted in the temporary arrest of the band and sandbox collective. they eventually won the legal battle, and the whole deal ended up deepening the bond between the artists and producers which stood rivers, leg rashid, even the gobs were telling them their dinner. nearly wireless though, the performers that you as when already went on stage where you ignore you, lead them will, will meal. so that's way for me, dads died, mormon just gave me the answer to why sidewalks. it's not just more producing ard, so it's more believing in the power to forge. and these guys, the word and resort,

and that died, give us courage to, you know, the word you ordered. choreographer mandy bracky also lives in delhi. his pace, queen size is a statement on intimacy between 2 men. gay sex was only recently decriminalized in india. sandbox collective finds interesting alternative venues. to present the dance piece. we never really had a reaction that destructed the performance. we could see people sometimes leave sometimes in the middle of a fragment. europe was no different. there were people who are equally uncomfortable. we saw people who couldn't look at the bodies directly. they had to look at the floor, people at the same everywhere. people also have the capacity to transform as they look the produce that you owe generally prefers working behind the scenes rather than standing in the spotlight. their goal is to bring people together and build

sustainable structures. oh, we tend to form long term relationships with people in our city, in our country and elsewhere in the world. yeah. so that that's something that has happened very organically. at sandbox. now i would say the word for it i think is mostly i know the sense of cross pollination and cross collaboration that happens a lot through our projects. back in bangalore, namir of in run and chiva pontac are organizing a reading series on the gentrification of this city. one of the many controversial topics in india to day the more adverse the challenges, the more active sandbox collective becomes. as artist, we always found that we were struggling. there's always that establishment that makes it difficult for ideas. so now that we are here, we go all the way and what do we want to see? we want to see a place, a world where, where we are free, that artist can express themselves without fear of who's going to get arrested for,

for what your sears sing dawns. that's the world that we want. we want a world that is more equal. a world that is inclusive, a well that's more compassionate. sandbox collective receives, this is gert middle for their courage and ambitions. and now to what is perhaps india's most famous cultural export. the bollywood film has the heyday of day cinema come and gone larger than life heroes. sweeping dance numbers, eye catching, set designs, music, action, drama. this is bollywood, one of the most influential film industries in the world, in terms of tickets sold and enduring appeal. screaming fans, more bollywood stores across india and in many parts of the world. but despite its

social appeal, why are the very people that were its biggest fan, seemingly asking the same question? let's find out if there is any truth to it. why is bollywood losing its spark? let's get the basics out of the way. all bollywood films are indian films, but most indian films are not bollywood. ha. so what exactly is bollywood? is this bollywood? ah, is this bollywood or how about this? none of those were bollywood films. name matt. hey, regina volleyball does zoom. basically, it's a one way from bombing from industry mo, mo, from industry, then avi, how all the work that is produced. and the hindu language can be called bollywood. i was a body. bombay is the former name of india's largest metropolis now called mom by the vibrant city is the birthplace of bollywood and indian cinema mama has grown to

one of the most prolific centers of film production in the world shot in these large studios just outside the city. bollywood flicks with their massive production designs. big star cast, and spectacular performances. draw people to the screens. despite the huge popularity. bollywood is still mistakenly acquainted with the indian film making industry. but it's just the name for the countries, hindi film industry. indian filmmakers produce the most films outside of bollywood film clips you just saw have not been shot in bombay film studios, nor are they being produced in hindi. there ascribed to india's other big film industries, where each language industry carries its own distinctive name. such as tale would for the to lu, go film industry collie would for to meal films or sandlewood 4 films produced in canada. and it is that fierce competition that is

forcing bollywood out of the limelight. but before getting into the reason why some se bollywood is a sinking ship. let's go back in time. cinema came early to india. bloom year brothers landed in will buy or bombay as it was known, then in $1896.00 to screen films for the 1st time. film consumption spread far quicker than literacy in a country impoverished by 2 centuries of colonial rule. just like the city itself, balmy's film industry was a melting pot of influences that ranged from german filmmakers escaping the nazis who brought technical know how with them to indian mythology, with its plots and theatrics, as well as india's long tradition of poetry and music. ah, there was even an australian stunt superstar fearless nadia. so

a bit of everything. but there were also powerful critics. ah, i've never been to a cinema, but even to an outsider, the evil that it has done and is doing is peace and the good if it has done any, it all remains to be proved. but even high profile critics like him couldn't stop bollywood reaching new heights, just like hollywood indian cinema and bollywood in particular found it's great success through its big stars. and often they would even resemble american film stars, inspired by chaplin's tramp character, raj, kapoor, me social realism with prominent ner movie. and ideals, of course, under laid with a catchy musical tune. go ahead up on you by noon you've done new set of man. i broken the database been done. he and his films found fans everywhere from the

u. s. s. are to be hard to peshawar. bollywood even had its own elvis presley in shameeka poor. the super energetic actor showed the audience how to dance and love are. celebrities are a big part of the movie industry and indian cinema has produced many superstars who power its productions. hollywood means from stars, the star system, damp stars. oh, stories that are extravagant, stories that bird that don't relate to a life. but make people say, oh my god, such things happen in the world. in 1975 india, when it's 1st hockey world cub, sent its 1st satellite into orbit and entered a state of emergency imposed by prime minister indira gandhi. and yet for many it's just the year shall lay the greatest masala film of all time. hit the screen a milestone in bollywood history. the term masala literally means mixture of

spices. because the 204 minute action adventure film has all the spices. but lead actor to mentor, i can tell you himself which ones are. is this thought a may missouri to been oh, other ingredients in no particular order include a self righteous hero who defies the law of physics. a vicious villain. the heroes beautiful damsel in distress, and some memorable quotes. my son, ben got boca farm, their mother. oh, and a theme song with an overly sexualized girl, dancing for no apparent reason. all in all a great blend of genres, action, drama, romance and comedy. bollywood had found its recipe for success and it went global. although for some,

the masala mixture can be quite difficult to endure. to soon seconds when given he can be a bit unexpected for us when a film starts as a comedy or action film below. and then ends as a drama or a thriller if in this time i find that they have a bad reputation, which is undeserved. you just need an open mind when mom was tough, i lawson up please. because you all calling in the ninety's. the heroes were no longer fighting the establishment, they were fighting for love. and here we had the start of bali woods golden era. in 2012 shot rou, con came to berlin to present his film. don to, it was the 1st bollywood film in which large parts were shot in germany to what you guys have gotten yourself with indians, indian to the end in the, in the middle everywhere, everywhere and bullied, and just read what other cons also left their imprint on the muscle, a format salmon con,

became the roguish lover boy with extraordinary fighting skills. american did a little bit of everything including playing the cricketer in law gone. the current era drew people in india as well as abroad to plush multiplex theaters with high priced tickets. their production values were going up, the glitz was glitzy or the anger had dissolved into romantic desire. and the muscle, a film had takers in many parts of the world. but the bollywood marcella film has had its fair share of criticism too. that is a huge divide between bollywood an art cinema otts. when am i? she was real life and she was suffering because we, we believe we must know what our country's bonded would extra. sure. the lovely grand, if you know lodge a picture of india take for example, the question of cast a vast majority of bollywood stars, producers, directors, and power players have been from upper cast backgrounds. critics say that bollywood films either completely ignore this facet of the indian society or pay mere lip

service. feminist critiques have been equally harsh. popular bollywood marcella films feature women largely as hyper sexualized objects with little else to do than be the male characters focus of interest. now all of the things have changed in the also and you can repeat the same thing again and again in a different setting. leg of it being the, all that low avoid thing and all, but like, it doesn't work anymore like that. and then came the pandemic in 2020 complete shut down bollywood. couldn't bounce back to its former glory. how much i need a thug there does. i'm getting too many people are going to cinemas to watch films, or someone offers access to entertainment at home for a subscription of 300 rupees a month. and people will take it up. he would have on the after coven, people in my home, more price conscious sport, as other haunches will have it. with the digital revolution in india has made accessing entertainment legally and through piracy. extremely easy

bmw, bollywood releases in 2022 tried every trick in the book. a feel good, hollywood remake, we are flop a sort of saddle. historical. epic with hindu nationalist aspirations, a flop and action fantasy with the british as the bad guys a flop. in addition to technological disruption, indian society, and with it, bollywood core audience has changed dramatically over the past decade since 2014 india has consistently elected the hindu nationalist. barra t. not ta party to power. ah, even though 2022 is projected to rake in more money for hindi films than 2019 a huge chunk of it has come from hollywood and dubbed versions of south indian films. which brings us to bali woods current nemesis. the south block compromising

the term meal to lugo canada and maliah lum film industry. south indian cinema has received more exposure and recognition globally and is delivering one box office hit after the other. so what is the south doing better than the hindi film? they have a cit template which i understood like they have a protagonist actor who will be larger than life. and that's how you catch the imagination of so many people whether it is r, r, r, salton, or cage. you have to, they follow the same formula of the masala film that bollywood invented. but more of everything and better. oh. so is it really time for volley, woods,

funeral bollywood believe its monopoly over its audience was unshakable. the industry is now paying for its arrogance south indian films are now claiming the masala genre. new distribution paradigms are disrupting business, and a new audience is making new demands. bollywood would do well to pay attention. ah, and we will do the same and end our report here by merely saying, victor, i leave becky heather iraqi ha, moving insights into indian society, winner of the 2022 hassle blood award di anita thing of touring europe with dancing with my camera in this is not working so well. i'm with in theory, the arrangement was done, but diana,

to sing keeps things in flux. by rearranging her photos, she discovers new stories and points of connection. now that is not working here. for the past 40 years, she's been living with her extensive photo archive and the contacts sheets that were made in the analog age for viewing the imagery for the actual print. this format has helped make her sought after by museums. oh, i love to see how d 6 images at the same time because you can always find new connections between them. and that's how i experience photography. i don't experience it a single images. the berlin exhibition is called dancing with my camera. lutely. i want you to move around the images like you would have sculpture,

want you to bend down to experience the images in your body as well. and then we have a different connection. so it's not just me photographing from here and you looking from here. it's me photographing with my body and you receiving the images with the all body. her career began in the 1980s back when she was a student at the national institute of design and ahmed abad. she met the toddler player, soccer. hussein and went on tour with him. the famous musician became a mentor and friend for anita photography, offered a root of freedom blue. i saw that he has a medium where i didn't know any women that i could make my own rules for how i wanted to live my life. and so it freed me from all these social obligations that were of a present at that time, you know, to, to get married to have children. those are all wonderful things, i suppose,

but they were not for me. so i, i came to photography in a way to sort of buy my freedom from all the social obligations for her next project. she met with mona ahmed, the transgender person from delhi, the thought or a potash turned into a lifelong friendship, which transcended social and religious barriers. more no was just as very unique person, you know? so she didn't fit into any society till she went to live in the graveyard and built herself a little house that became a palace. and she, she was just someone who constantly lived outside the norm outside the box is that society may have made for her. so she left the unix community as well, and imagine having someone like that in your life that kind of a role model you could say. morning died in 2017 while she was on the phone with di

anita mooney, never left me. the she was such a big part of me. she's here is not just people, but also places that the photographer keeps. returning to her series file room, she delved into the fascinating world of indian archives. went into the archive. it is of jerry sensual. in a certain way, even in the naughty moment, do you know this room full of stories and secret m as a smell of the archive? which sarah mago says is between rose and present the mom. and i think, you know, that's how i will go one day i'll be photographing in some archive and i just dropped dead because because i don't know,

i feel i belong in the archive on these walls. there is now also a sort of archive dying it, a sing uses her photos to korea composite works of art. she studied book design and almost at the beginning, she has seen the book as an equally important medium for presenting her photographs . they are smaller scale exhibitions, affordable to many, but she doesn't. so individual photos for mean of photographs is always like a symphony. and how can you pluck one note and say this is what i will take home with me. it hurts me. and that's why i think i like the book, diane, you to sing tirelessly, invents, new display possibilities or can be unfolded and rearranged, to create ever changing references between the photos blue. i don't like that. the exhibition yet stuck in one format. you know,

exhibitions need to be alive because that's how i experience my work. and so they're all these tricks in the work. one example is this best she designed with 9 mini exhibitions and fan fault format of child. and i'm the between for people who don't want to buy a ticket, i can go out and show them my museum anyway. and it's very important to take the museum outside itself to take photography outside itself. i think that's what art can do, new to shift things around with diana to sing. there is no separation between life and art. she remains a pioneer and continues to inspire while breaking the boundaries of photography. that was art 21 with

a look into an art scene in motion by and for you next time ah ah with ah, let's see. so all top is about to take off into, ah, you know,
