Video Culture in India: The Analog Era narrates the evolution of video technology in India since its introduction in the 1980s, locating the moment within the country's socio-political context. In an era defined by digital screens and streaming video, it is easy to forget the transformative impact of analog video in postcolonial media cultures. Drawing on an impressive range of archival sources, trade materials, and interviews, Ishita Tiwary offers a compelling analysis of the cultural life of an influential but largely neglected media form in 1980s India. Imaginative and accessible, this book makes vital contributions to film and media studies.
