Out of Darkness

From 2006 filmmaker Dev Benegal has been photographing outdoor cinemas of India. A barren field fills with three thousand people at night; all gathering to see a movie. A dry river bed hosts 400,000 people coming to watch a movie.

Benegal’s feature film Road, Movie was a homage to this.

Photographs here are a sample of six years of his work.

He continues to follow these cinemas as they transition from 35mm film projection to digital projection.

Benegal began photographing on film and works in digital as well.
