Men Through The Female Lens
Series: “Women Filmmakers”

When Colour Is Not Needed
Series: “Film Genres”
Why are filmmakers returning to black-and-white cinema? Black and white is not simply the absence of colour, but a visual language in its own right. We explore why directors continue to embrace it even today in the era of colour.
Desire on Screen
Series: “Film Genres”
How did cinema reinvent eroticism? Eroticism emerged alongside cinema itself, from the first on screen kiss in The Kiss to the first striptease in After the Ball. Cinema transformed the kiss and the female body into a spectacle that was both shocking and irresistible.
To Play God
Series: “Film Genres”
