Dear Swami Ji I’m writing a book on arthouse cinema covering all the world cinématographies and the period 1930-1999. My concept of arthouse cinema is very personal and wide. I associate it to all films with Artsy surreal weird experimental oneiric enigmatic psychedelic bizarre offbeat visionary hypnotic magical kafkian subversive outrageous phantasmagorical absurd esoteric hallucinatory elements. Now I’m devoting to identify films with similar characteristics from less known cinématographies. Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh etc are not enough represented (Pakistan only by a couple of films from Jamil Dehlavi that however is considered by now British). I am writing to know if you Can you suggest me some films with the above characteristics from any cinematographies you know. I know they dont have a tradition in the field, but probebly something similar could exist although the quality is low. Please let me know.
