there's a misconception about the realm of cinema; that cinematic politics can be reduced to representation on screen. this is a clever ruse that originates from within film industries, for they are industries, that employ workers, from organised and unorganised sectors. this labour is often overworked and underpaid; a fleeting credit does not put food on the table. but reserving the glory of cinematic production to the actors, writers, and director does serve to distract from the material reality of film production.
(this is NOT about the writers' strike in the united states. i am talking about electricians, carpenters, builders, craftspeople, tailors, stunt-people, grips, light boys, script girls, runners, caterers, cleaners and a plethora of workers that constitute the life-blood of the many, many indian film industries)
