Jana K

Jana K writes about Malayalam cinema from Kerala, with a focus on the industry's parallel cinema tradition and its unusually sustained commitment to social realism. Her research covers the IFFK circuit, the Adoor Gopalakrishnan-to-Lijo José Pellissery arc, and the conditions — economic, cultural, geographic — that make Malayalam cinema structurally different from the other three major South Indian industries. She is particularly interested in how Malayalam films circulate internationally through festival culture and how that shapes what gets made.
