Abandoned by their families to lives of penury, marked by the white veils which they wear, Bengali widows find solace and food in the ashrams of Vrindavan where they gather every morning and evening to sing religious songs. In this profoundly moving documentary on widowhood portrayed both as social institution and personal tradition, moments of astonishing sensuous beauty alternate with rhythms of anguish. In the best of the new ethnographic tradition, ‘Moksha’ de-centres the voices of authority and allows a plurality of voices to introduce contesting positions. Haunting in its evocation of grief and anger, the film transcends documentary and assumes its place in the great tradition of lamentation, the expression of the dark night of the human soul.

Director: W.S. Van Dyke
Considered as one of the most influential science fiction films ever, it was also the most expensive film from the silent era. It gives a futuristic look at the schism created in mankind as industrialization and technological advancement serves to alienate the humans from one another. Metropolis features special effects and set designs that still impress modern audiences with their visual impact – the film contains cinematic and thematic links to German Expressionism.

Director: William A. Wellman
In the 1930’s, The public Enemy crystallized the theme of Little Caesar and delved even more deeply into the making of a gangster. Directed by William Wellman the film follows two young boys and their growth from shoplifters to hardened criminals. It stars James Cagney and Jean Harlow (whose role is minimal, yet billed on every poster). More coherent and focused than Little Caesar (it included dates to orient the audience when time passed); Public Enemy was also more violent, and helped to spur the cry for censorship.

Based on Alexandre Dumas Fils' La Dame aux Camélias, the film depicts a doomed romance of a courtesan in 19th century Paris. Greta Garbo's portrayal of the beautiful but sickly Parisian courtesan, who fatefully falls in love with a young French nobleman (25 year-old Robert Taylor), is widely considered the definitive version of the romantic tragedy.

Director : David Lean

Director: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
A group of Anglo-Catholic nuns open a school and a hospital in an isolated Himalayan valley. As they face a series of obstacles from the villagers and a hostile environment, tensions begin to grow. In Michael Powell's own view, this film (starring Deborah Kerr, Sabu, Jean Simmons, David Farrar and Flora Robson) was the most erotic film he ever made.

Director: Sergei M. Eisenstein
Regarded as one of the most significant works in the history of silent pictures, as well as possibly Eisenstein’s supreme work, Battleship Potemkin brought his theories of cinema art to the world in a powerful showcase; his emphasis on montage, his stress of intellectual contact, and his treatment of the mass instead of the individual as the protagonist. The film tells the story of the Russian ship Prince Potemkin where a horribly bloody mutiny took place during the 1905 uprising. Eisenstein signals this as the jumping off point for the revolution.

Director : Federico Fellini
Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of cinema. With utmost honesty spilled on screen, this is the perfect example of a film made on films. Acknowledged as a highly influential classic, the film frequently pops up in countless lists of best films ever made.
