    Bombay Talkies and the Australia India Connection – Dr Vikrant Kishore interviews Peter Dietze

    The cinematic ties between #Australia and #India have gained momentum since the mid-1990s, but their origins trace back to the 1920s during Indian cinema’s studio era. Two key figures stand out—Marie Ann Evans, famously known as Fearless Nadia, an Australian who became an icon in Indian cinema, and Himansu Rai, a pioneering filmmaker and founder of Bombay Talkies. In this episode, Dr Vikrant Kishore speaks with Peter Dietze, grandson of the legendary filmmaker and the founder of the Bombay Talkies - Himansu Rai. The discussion focuses on the legacy of Bombay Talkies, the contributions of Rai and Devika Rani, and how their work shaped the evolution of Indian cinema. The discussion also revisits the Bombay Talkies Exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (2017), which brought many of these untold stories to life. Tune in to uncover the fascinating history of Indian-Australian cinematic connections! #BombayTalkies #Cinema #HimansuRai #FilmHistory #Bollywood #Hindi
