Mani Kaul

Director Mani Kaul studied screenwriting and directing at Rajasthan College in Jaipur (1963) and at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII, 1966). His first film His Daily Bread (1969), won the 1970 Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie and defined much of New Indian Cinema’s formal vocabulary. In 1973 he made In Two Minds, his first film in colour. After that, he worked with forbidding regularity on an imposing oeuvre in both fiction and documentary, with films like In Two Minds (1973), Arrival (1980), Mind of Clay (1985) or The Servant’s Shirt (1999), among others.
