The Photography of Hemant Chaturvedi
This exhibition is a part of 6th Self-Discovery Via Rediscovering India Festival that explores the fading world of single-screen cinemas that once anchored
collective moviegoing across the country. It draws on Hemant Chaturvedi’s remarkable
travelogue, documenting the decay and, at times, rebirth of over 1,400 single-screen cinemas across India through his photographs and experiences.
