film from India. Prayoga is a Sanskrit word, which loosely translates
as 'experiment', but can also mean 'representation'. Over the last
three years, no.w.here has reseached a rich vein of visual arts-based
work from the early twentieth century onwards that, despite the huge
popularity of Indian cinema, remains relatively unknown. This project
aims to present these works in a comprehensive appraisal of film work
outside the popular Bollywood films for which India is traditionally
known. This volume traces a history of powerful and personal filmmaking
outside of the industrialised system.
