India has many regional film centres: Bollywood, the largest, in Mumbai, producing films in the Hindi language; Kolkata, for films in Bengali; Chennai, for films in Tamil: Hyderabad, for films in Telugu etc. Most Indian film directors are known for their work with one regional industry. Star directors can get funding to film in any language. Hence directors may be listed more than once.

[edit] Directors of parallel or independent cinema


Parallel cinema is otherwise known as New Indian Cinema, Indian New Wave, Indian Neo-Realism, or by the man/woman in the street, "art films". In the 1960s and 1970s, the Indian government financed a number of such films, on Indian themes. Many of the directors were graduates of the FTII (Film and Television Institute of India), in Pune. Ritwik Ghatak was a professor at the institute and a well-known director in his own right. The best-known Indian "neo-realist" is Satyajit Ray.

As government funding for cinema has declined, cinematic experimentation has migrated to the small-budget "independent" film.
