Speakers included Anurag Kashyap who spoke about his collaboration with Mani Kaul on two of his last scripts, “Under Her Spell”, on Padgaonkar’s book on Roberto Rossellini and his affair with an Indian woman; as well as “Diwaar Mein Ek Khidki Rehti Thi” based on Vinod Kumar Shukla’s novel.
On Saturday 16th July,2011, film artists and technicians from both the industry as well as the burgeoning independent film space in Mumbai united for a condolence meeting in memory of India’s formalist master Mani Kaul, organized by the National Film Development Corporation (Nfdc), which produced Kaul’s first films. In addition to being a prolific film maker, Kaul’s reputation was as a great teacher: in the dhrupad form of music as well as in his stints at the Film and Television Institute of India (Ftii) through the decades. This has been substantiated by the quality of students...

[Bhushan Nagpal reports on the Mani Kaul Memorial Meeting held in New Delhi on July 9, 2011. The meeting was attended by his family, friends and members of the film fraternity]
It was a sombre occasion, a memorial meeting to remember a veteran filmmaker who was no more. And yet, speaker after speaker made references to the sense of humour that Mani Kaul possessed, and related jokes he used to tell, sometimes at his own expense.
And quite unlike a memorial meeting, it did spark some laughter now and then as jokes or anecdotes were told about the man who was vibrant and lively all his life despite his illness.
The memorial meeting was organized on July 9 by the Osian’s Connoisseurs of Art, where he had served as Director of the Osian’s Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema in 2009 and was Creative Director of its Film House.
The noted filmmaker, who was considered one of the pioneers of new Indian cinema that emerged in the late sixties and early seventies, died early in the...

Kaul gradually acquired a reputation of being cerebral and pretentious to the point of being termed a pseudo. Although there have been many instances of crowds staging group walk outs or dozing through screenings of his masterworks, a few instances claim to have incited mob violence addressed directly at the director while he was present at the screening.
It is with immense difficulty that one comes to terms with the fact that the great Indian film artist of our time, Mani Kaul is no more. Kaul was one of the few film makers functioning outside of the contours of the narrative parallel cinema and was perhaps the most significant amongst directors in India to produce a full-fledged aesthetic discourse around his practice.
Born in Jodhpur on Christmas, 1944, Kaul studied filmmaking at the Film and Television Institute of India (Ftii) under the tutelage of the illustrious Ritwik Kumar Ghatak. However after...
