Pittsburgh Film Colloquium Presents: In Defense of Disco

Presenter: 
Dr. Neepa Majumdar
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Thu, 11/21/2013 - 17:30

This talk considers the low‐brow Hindi film *Disco Dancer *(Babbar Subhash, 1982) in terms of its seminal retooling of narrative, thematic, and star practices of Hindi cinema to accommodate new flows of international popular culture, specifically the “disco sensibility.” In its participation in a complex citational network of plagiarism, homage, and adaptation, the film is particularly seminal in its domestication of disco into a melodramatic mother‐centered narrative and its formal experimentation as it struggles to construct a cinematic language adequate to disco.
