“Lights, Camera, and Time for Action”: Recasting Gender Equality Compliant Hindi Cinema (2021-23)

Sub project: Scripting Change

This qualitative research project will engage with the role of women screenwriters in the Hindi Film industry. The screenplay writer imagines the film, before anyone else in a film production. Within the contemporary period, Hindi cinema has witnessed several women screenplay writers emerge telling stories with a renewed focus on questions of gender roles in society. The study will engage with their craft and process of writing as well as their position within a largely male dominated industry and the pressures they face therein regarding conformity.
