Cannes 2024: A Palme d’Or contender after 30 years and more, making this an incredible year for Indian indie cinema

The Hindu  

In terms of cinema, and cinema alone, India is making the kind of splash at Cannes 2024 that it has never done before. “The Indian presence is extremely strong this year,” said Cannes deputy artistic director Christian Jeune at the start of the festival. They are making a strong comeback to Cannes,” the festival’s artistic director Thierry Frémaux had said at the press conference in Paris in the second week of April to announce the official selection. In Cannes Classics, a piece of New Indian Cinema history was celebrated with due pomp, at the well-attended screening of Shyam Benegal’s 1976 film Manthan, restored in 4K. Naseeruddin Shah, the only surviving member of the film’s principal cast, said with a mix of bemusement and excitement: “I’ve been acting in films for 50 years, but this is my first time at Cannes.” While Shah had a film — Mrinal Sen’s Genesis, co-starring Om Puri and Shabana Azmi — in the Cannes Official Selection in 1986, he did not attend the premiere.
