Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] May 27 (ANI): John Bailey, president of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Cinema, said Sunday that India should promote more films that " tell the world "its culture.
"I think Indian cinema is one of the richest in the world, because you have so many cultures, languages and mythologies … But most of us know Indian films inspired by the Bollywood musical … they tell us no deep understanding of your culture and your values, "said Bailey, who is in Mumbai with his wife Carol Littleton.
"All I can say is that no, we do not know Indian cinema and this is not completely our fault because I think India has to do more to make movies that tell the world who you are, make sure these are the films that will be seen around the world, "he added.
On Saturday, Bailey had promoted the idea of Indian cinema representation in the new Academy Museum in Los Angeles. He also said that opening an office in India is a "great idea".
"We have offices in London and New York.India is the largest film producing country in the world.India manufactures up to 1,800 films and this year, 'It's more than four times (Hollywood) in the US It's a great idea … Mumbai would be such a strong link with all of Southeast Asia.That makes a lot of sense, "Bailey said.
"The Academy is not a business or a company … The reason for having an office anywhere is based on the services that the Academy can provide to its members." The key to having an office in Mumbai or in India would be able to serve the members and the community and expand the scope.Last year, the Academy accepted 928 new members from 56 countries … The Academy is not just a Hollywood bubble, "he added.
