Indian Parallel Cinema is the mixture of Contemporary, Experimental and Art Cinema of India and always consist of low budget. Indian Cinema had started with its first silent film "Raja Harishchandra" in 1912. Indian cinema is often defined as Bollywood or Masala Films of India, since it is also the popular form with its ritual of song, dances and over-the-top melodrama. However, the 60s and early 70s were time of experimentation in the format of storytelling and form in Indian Cinema. Indian Parallel Cinema is a specific genre of Indian cinema which is known for its serious content, realism and naturalism, which reflected social and politics topics during those times.

Chantal Akerman
Pařízková, Tereza ; Dufek, Jiří (advisor) ; Bernard, Jan (referee)
In this work I am focusing on the personality of Belgian director and screenwriter Chantal Akerman and her style in the movies Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles and La Bas. I chose these two between many for different reasons. These are one of her first movies and one of her last ones, however there is a strong bond between them.
Both movies are similar in how the main character ? a woman who stays at her home better than anything else ? is perceived by the audience. Both women are happy in their stereotypical life and they are fully dedicated to the everyday house chores which stands for some kind of therapy to them. None of these two women is realizing this obvious fact though.
I use these two very personal movies to point out the main topics in Akerman's work. I also use a theory of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to explain the character of Jeanne Dielman more.
