Preface Indian Panorama 2002 Films in the Indian Panorama continue to celebrate the best of cinema in India. The Indian Panorama has been a window to the latest films by the old masters and recent films by young filmmakers. The features encompass Indian film forms in every style and cinematic language. The content covers the mosaic of subcontinental diversities, different cultures and traditions, and human situations. Some of the films also refer to global issues and their impact on ordinary individuals and lives. The extensive gamut stretches from Mrinal Sen's Aamar Bhuvan, Buddhadeb Dasgupta's Mando Meyer Upakhyan, Girish Kasaravalli's Dweepa to Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai and Neelakanta's Show. The non-feature films depict topical issues and human dilemmas. Goutam Ghose's Kalahandi studies drought in the Kalahandi region of Orissa. Tribal and environmental interests are mounted in Aribam Syam Sharma's The Monpas of Arunachal Pradesh. Bio-pics like Packirisamy's Teejan Bai and Prakash Jha's Sonal are homages to illustrious artistes. There is nostalgia for the Tagore family in Dasgupta's Jorasanko Thakurbari. Emotional sensitivities emerge in Sukumaran's Diary of a Housewife and Ashoke Vishwanathan's Anya Swapna. | ||

All the films have been chosen by a selected jury of film makers, film critics and creative writers. I wish to thank Shri Sethumadhavan, Chairman of the Feature Film Jury and Shri K.K. Kapil, Chairman of the Non-Feature Film Jury, for the zeal and commitment with which they have led the two juries, to arrive at a consensus. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the jury members, who devoted their extremely valuable time to an earnest cause.
