Indian National(ist) Cinema


Research, Publication and Website Design
BFA Thesis - Pratt Institute, 2023
This project aims to look into the rise of right-wing nationalism in India through one of its most influential mediums - film. Since the country’s first film made during the colonial era, cinema has been a means for understanding and disseminating nationalist sentiments, and has hence played a decisive role in the project of nation-building.



The National(ist) Film Index is a proposed archival website with the idea being to create an updatable index that documents previous and ongoing themes of nationalism within Indian cinema.
