An online chat with Imogen Sara Smith

So noir yet so far: my friend Tipu Purkayastha and I will be in conversation with the writer and film scholar Imogen Sara Smith on July 27 – it’s open to all, so please try to join. Imogen has written on many things (including a book on Buster Keaton and some fine essays on the Criterion Collection website), but the topic for this discussion is film noir as it has travelled outside America – moving from its gritty urban contemporary roots to different locales, languages and sensibilities. Including, of course, the Indian version of noir as manifested in old Hindi cinema (e.g. the Navketan films of the 1950s) as well as the neo-noir of more recent decades.
