THEME
PAVILION
HALL 7E
During New Delhi World Book Fairs, National Book Trust, India
organises a Theme Pavilion to showcase books related to a particular
subject area. During the 18th New Delhi World Book Fair, the Theme
was presented in the form of an International Rights Exhibition of the
Works on and by Mahatma Gandhi titled IN WORDS AND IN DEEDS
to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of our Father
of the Nation. During the 19th New Delhi World Book Fair, the
Theme was READING OUR COMMON WEALTH: An International
Rights Exhibition of Books on Sports in India organised on the
occasion of the Commonwealth Games.
In view of the immense response received to the concept of the
Rights Exhibition, National Book Trust, India now brings to you
POINT OF VIEW: An International Rights Exhibition of Books on
Indian Cinema (Towards Hundred Years of Indian Cinema). The
International Rights Exhibition of the books on Indian Cinema has
twin purpose: first, it is aimed at showcasing and documenting
P O I N T O F V I E W † TOWARDS HUNDRED YEARS OF INDIAN CINEMA „„„„
publications on Cinema in India by bringing out an Annotated
Rights Catalogue and secondly, it seeks to bring into focus from
the perspective of the publishing industry the role and
contribution of the Cinematic medium towards popular culture
as the centenary year celebrations of Indian Cinema approaches.
It also gels with the objectives of National Action Plan for the
Readership Development among the Youth (NAPRDY) mooted by
NBT, India which is ‘Bringing Youth and Books Closer.’
Indian Cinema can be credited for giving the contemporary
Indian society modern folktales and folksongs. Generations after
generations identify with the multi-faceted dimensions of the
celluloid world living and re-living intense moments of the
characters’ agony, ecstasy, passion and mission that linger in our
minds and life like a musical leitmotif. But as the world of
writing can not contribute and enlighten the reader if it lacks a
‘point-of-view’, similarly the point of view that the moving
camera of the film director presents to the audience, both
symbolically and concretely, distinguishes the good cinema from
the bad. With the hundred years of Indian Cinema approaching,
One of the panels from the
Exhibition

P O I N T O F V I E W † TOWARDS HUNDRED YEARS OF INDIAN CINEMA „„„„
the platform of New Delhi World Book Fair
seeks to find a connect with the points-of view
that the world of books and that of the cinema
present to the reader as well as the audience
who may be, many a time, one and the same. It
is also an attempt of the National Book Trust,
India to find a better connection between the
book culture and popular culture as part of its
efforts to address the reading needs of the
contemporary generation. The images
displayed in the Theme have been largely
taken from books on display and have been
selected from the perspective of demonstrating
and emphasizing ones which have something
to do with books—the act, joy and dilemmas of
reading—in one way or the other.
Books published in English and major Indian
languages in their original language editions as
well as translations on Indian cinema, actors,
actresses, directors, producers, music composers,
lyricists and the vast array of known and unknown
personalities who have enriched this powerful
medium have been exhibited alongwith genres
like film history, film criticism and studies, film
production, screenplays and scripts etc.
At this Theme Pavilion you can buy a copy of the
Rights Catalogue of the books on Indian Cinema
especially brought out on the occasion. With
entries of more than 300 titles, it is an invaluable
companion for film studies scholars, translators,
editors, literary agents, directors, scriptwriters
and general readers alike.
And also enjoy and participate in the range of
programmes happening here…

Reception of Books on Indian
Cinema by Publishers Abroad
27/02/2012
MONDAY
11:30 pm-1:30 pm
Indian Cinema has acted as a
cultural ambassador of the
country. Images of a Raj Kapoor
or an Amitabh Bachchan or a
Mithun Chakravarty or a
Rajnikanth enthralling the
audiences in Russia, Eastern
European countries, the West
Indies, China, Japan etc have
been part and parcel of Indian
film and contemporary
folklore. How does that reflect
or not reflect when it comes to
the reception of books on
Indian Cinema by publishers
abroad in terms of buying
translation rights, entering into
co-publication arrangements
etc? The Trust, having brought

‘Atithi’, as the title suggests, means
‘Guest’. Based on a short story by
Rabinranath Tagore, it is the story of
a young boy brought up in the
plenitude and loving atmosphere of
a zamindar’s family who sacrifices
the life of luxury and goes away in
search of artistic excellence leaving
the family, especially his teenaged
daughter, heartbroken.
