The British Lawnmower Museum, Keith Harding`s World of Mechanical Music & Mad Jack`s Sugar Loaf. In a world of theme parks, interactive exhibits, over-priced merchandise & queues, don`t worry, these are names to stir the soul. They are reassuring evidence that there`s still somewhere to turn in search of the small, fascinating, unique &, dammit, British.

Bollywood Dreams Postcards is a collection of the best images from the very popular Bollywood Dreams publication from Spring 2003. The images include lively & dynamic images from each of the four chapters in the book, ` The Touring Cinema`, ` The Set`, ` The Characters` & ` The Screening`, & show of a broad spectrum of the world-famous Bollywood industry. The images show: portraits of actors in costume & on the set; the touring cinema; action sequences; dances; devoted fans queuing up & in the movie theatres; the projectionists; images of Bollywood posters on the streets & in production. In Bollywood Dreams photographer Jonathan Torgovnik explores the beloved pastime of an Indian population of over 1 billion. As the largest film producer in the world with more than 800 films made each year, the Indian movie industry is a cultural phenomenon. Paying tribute to the stars, filmmakers, technicians & moviegoers who make this possible, Bollywood Dreams puts a human face on the fantastical, spectacle-rich films that compel more than 14 million people to the cinema on a single day in India. Bollywood Dreams is both a behind-the-scenes personal diary of the magic & contagious excitement of Indian film & a discerning photo-essay on the film industry`s profound impact on Indian society. Singular in its conception, this book is unique in the way it introduces the general audience to the profound & spectacular way that Bollywood permeates everyday life in India. In this way Torgovnik`s Bollywood Dreams stands as an important testament to the power of cinema in the twentieth century as both entertainment & social phenomenon. Deriving its name from its American equivalent, Bollywood is the highly successful Indian movie industry predominantly based in Bombay & Madras. Every day more than 14 million people go to the cinema across India to watch films produced by this massive & powerful industry. In India, movies are not just a form of entertainment, it is practically a religion. Streets in major Indian cities are lined with colourful posters of Indian movies & their stars. Movie stars are treated like demi-gods, no match even for American standards of celebrity obsession. More than any other cultural or political institution of the 20th century, the cinema has captured the hearts & minds of India`s growing population of almost one billion even against the stark backdrop of the vast country`s struggle with poverty & hunger & often tense Muslim-Hindu relations. The experience of actually going to the movies in India is as much a part of the Bollywood phenomenon as are the stars themselves & Bollywood Dreams documents this important aspect of understanding the important role Bollywood plays in contemporary Indian culture. ” Going to the cinema, ” Torgovnik says ”is about going to see the actors larger-than-life. It is about living the glamorous life for a few hours & leaving your daily hardships behind.” Once inside the movie theatres, the audience can expect at least three hours of entertainment including several song & dance numbers, love scenes, action sequences, & most surely a happy ending. Each film

Includes:: the necessary ingredients for success: action, violence, music, dance, romance, & morals. The themes of the movies are often social issues like communalism, ethnicity, religion, & caste, & the movie theatres themselves are often fill of lively interaction between viewer & star. Cheers & boos pervade the atmosphere: the audience becomes a part of the film, & likewise, the film becomes a part of them. Bollywood Dreams begins with a vignette of the touring caravans that bring Bollywood on the big screen to India`s villages in portable tents. We then follow the Indian film from its creation on the movie set, to the larger-than-life stars, directors, & character actors, to the editing chamber, to the city streets where ubiquitous promotional posters abound, & finally, to the multitude of movie theatres that abound in India.
