An exhibition catalogue of “Bollywood Cinerma Showcards” held at the Royal Ontario Museum, June 11, 2011 to October 2, 2011.

Bollywood refers to the Hindi commercial lm industry centred in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), a port city in western India. While Bollywood lms have achieved worldwide recognition, the visual culture of advertising that surrounds themlarge-scale billboards, posters, mobile oats, lobby cards, and cinema bookletshas not received as much attention even though it has been a part of the urban and rural landscape of northern India for much of the 20th century. This book tells the story of a unique but little-studied form of Bollywood advertising: the showcard. Showcards are collages using lm stills that have been cut and assembled on a board and hand-painted. They are unique works of art, combining old and new painting styles with photography, resulting in dramatic, colourful compositions. This book traces the evolution of Bollywood showcards over four decadesfrom the 1950s, just after Indias Independence, to the 1980s, just before its entry into the global economy. The majority of the works reproduced here are from The Hartwick Collection, assembled between 2006 and 2010. They are supplemented by works from the ROMs collection.
