About
the Issue:
Cinema
and culture, both influencing to each other, are interrelated. As a cultural
force, cinema not only mirrors but also shapes cultural norms and practices,
values and identities. Similarly
culture, i.e. the way of life, instead of being static, is constantly changing
and thereby bringing about deliberate revisions and alterations in cinematic
themes and motifs. Moreover, culture as an umbrella term, is pluralistic and
all-inclusive and so, anything or any idea either in visible or invisible form in
any community, irrespective of time and place, are always taken as cultural
signs. Literature is also one of cultural forms and also influencing cinema
ever since cinema owed its origin. From Indian Bollywood to
global Hollywood and other film industries, cinema has long been not only
exerting a massive influence on our fashion, language, and behavior but also shaping
our thoughts, ideas and insights. The aim of this issue is to explore and
understand this long-standing relationship between cinema and culture.
