A life devoted to moving images documenting our times, #ShyamBenegal was the torch bearer of Indian cinema. I was enriched by his constant guidance,be at NFAI,in his office or on phone. Immensely grateful that his thoughtful foreword adorns my Gandhi book. Go well, Shyambabu.

We are deeply saddened by the passing away of astro-physicist, writer and educator Shri #JayantNarlikar (1938 - 2025). We are profoundly thankful to Shri Narlikar for his generous donation in 2018 of 46 reels of precious 8mm and Super 8mm home movie footage to NFAI.
