Hello, Bonjour, Namaste
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Transcultural Studies at the University of Calgary. Through my dissertation, I examine the transnational turn in India’s independent film production culture over the past decade. I particularly analyze the larger institutional processes and production practices of Indian creative producers that are transforming India’s independent film culture and making it more transnational.
I also worked as a producer to amplify the voices of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour through film and tv projects in Alberta.
My research interests are interdisciplinary:
film festival studies, transnational cinema, American and Indian indie cinema, media industries and production studies.
A wider spectrum of my research interests includes:
postcolonial studies, feminism, media labor, cultural policy studies, anthropology, ethnography literary theory and film theory.
