| Video Discription | In this talk, Anna M.M. Vetticad discusses the political nature of cinema with an array of examples from recent Indian hits. She urges consumers and analysts of popular films to oppose the widely held notion that cinema is a non-serious enterprise. Ms Vetticad argues that just as irresponsible journalism can misrepresent the truth, irresponsible cinema can normalise or glorify condemnable truths, and the belief - often stated as an unquestionable truth - that journalists should adopt a light-hearted approach to film criticism must be rejected since it leaves no room for the journalist/critic to carry out the essential task of examining the politics of cinema. Only when established tenets are questioned in this fashion will evolution happen, she explains through the course of this engaging, informative talk, while encouraging her listeners to scrutinise the politics of films, recognise their potential to influence society, and interrogate those who insist otherwise. Anna M.M. Vetticad is an award-winning Indian journalist, feminist and cultural commentator. She is the author of the book The Adventures of an Intrepid Film Critic, an overview of the contemporary Hindi film industry known to the world as Bollywood. Ms Vetticad is a prominent film critic, who is known for her distinctive political critiques of Indian cinema across languages and the country's many film industries. She has worked with India Today magazine, Indian Express newspaper and India Today TV where she hosted her own show titled Star Trek on which she interviewed a wide array of India's top film artistes. She has been an independent journalist since 2011, writing for various Indian and international publications. Ms Vetticad is an advocate for women's empowerment and the representation of marginalised communities in popular entertainment. She is a recipient of the prestigious Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx [tKT288aoVEo] |
