Celluloid Man background

Celluloid Man

A passionate film enthusiast, Mr. P.K. Nair, has dedicated his life to the art of cinema, earning him the nickname "Henri Langlois of India."

Celluloid Man is a tribute to P.K. Nair, a pioneering film archivist who founded the National Film Archive of India. Nair's fascination with cinema began as a child, and he went on to collect and preserve films, including nine silent films, despite the lack of importance placed on archiving cinema in India. His legendary memory and influence on generations of filmmakers, including Indian New Wave directors, are highlighted in the film.
