This 6-day online Faculty Development Programme (FDP)
explores the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) through the lens of Indian
Cinema, offering a unique interdisciplinary approach. As Indian cinema has long been a repository of indigenous traditions, this FDP examines how films reflect and preserve ancient knowledge, arts, philosophy, and sciences. Each session delves into a different aspect of IKS—ranging from the Natya Shastra and Rasa Theory to Ayurveda, astronomy, governance, and folk traditions—analyzing their representation in Indian films across multiple languages. Through case studies, film clips, discussions, and scholarly references, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how cinema serves as a cultural and historical document. This FDP is designed for educators, researchers, and film enthusiasts who wish to integrate Indian traditional knowledge into media and cultural studies, fostering a renewed appreciation for India's intellectual heritage through cinema.
