Long life of a short film

What follows is an account of my personal experiences as an independent Ind ian film director who had the fortune to make the country's first openly ga y film, the short BOMgAY. That said, I would like this essay to be accepted as, rather than a critical appraisal of Indian cinema, a humbly autobiogra phical account of one individual caught in the hectic threes of political ( and cinematic) visibility.
