the art of Renu Saluja
|
| GraFTII,
the alumni body of the FTII has published
a book, Invisible: the art of Renu
Saluja, as homage to one of our colleagues,
the late Renu Saluja (Editing, 1976).
One of India's most noted film editors,
she entered an all-male field and began
from editing the films of her FTII friends
to becoming a name to reckon with in the
Bombay film industry and also internationally.
Such was her influence on her colleagues
that when a call for contributions to
this book went out, some twenty six people
responded sharing their insights and memories.
Invisible:
the art of Renu Saluja was released
at a film festival held recently in her
honour at the Fun Republic in June 2006
called In Focus: The Films of Renu
Saluja. Writing in it are directors
with whom Renu worked and a range of people
associated with her. Richly illustrated
with photographs from private collections,
this tastefully presented book, was initiated
by Praba Mahajan and was visualised by
renowned Cinematographer K K Mahajan (Motion
Picture Photography, 1966). The book was
edited and produced by Chandita Mukherjee
(Direction, 1975) and Jethu Mundul (Editing,
1975).
