20th New Delhi World Book Fair, 2012

20th World Book Fair from  25th February 2012 to 4th March 2012Time(11 AM to 8 PM)
During New Delhi World Book Fairs, National Book Trust, India
organises a Theme Pavilion to showcase books related to a particular
subject area. During the 18th New Delhi World Book Fair, the Theme
was presented in the form of an International Rights Exhibition of the
Works on and by Mahatma Gandhi titled IN WORDS AND IN DEEDS
to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of our Father
of the Nation. During the 19th New Delhi World Book Fair, the
Theme was READING OUR COMMON WEALTH: An International
Rights Exhibition of Books on Sports in India organised on the
occasion of the Commonwealth Games.
In view of the immense response received to the concept of the
Rights Exhibition, National Book Trust, India now brings to you
POINT OF VIEW: An International Rights Exhibition of Books on
Indian Cinema (Towards Hundred Years of Indian Cinema). The
International Rights Exhibition of the books on Indian Cinema has
twin purpose: first, it is aimed at showcasing and documenting

 the platform of New Delhi World Book Fair
seeks to find a connect with the points-of view
that the world of books and that of the cinema
present to the reader as well as the audience
who may be, many a time, one and the same. It
is also an attempt of the National Book Trust,
India to find a better connection between the
book culture and popular culture as part of its
efforts to address the reading needs of the
contemporary generation. The images
displayed in the Theme have been largely
taken from books on display and have been
selected from the perspective of demonstrating
and emphasizing ones which have something
to do with books—the act, joy and dilemmas of
reading—in one way or the other.
Books published in English and major Indian
languages in their original language editions as
well as translations on Indian cinema, actors,
actresses, directors, producers, music composers,
lyricists and the vast array of known and unknown
personalities who have enriched this powerful
medium have been exhibited alongwith genres
like film history, film criticism and studies, film
production, screenplays and scripts etc.
At this Theme Pavilion you can buy a copy of the
Rights Catalogue of the books on Indian Cinema
especially brought out on the occasion. With
entries of more than 300 titles, it is an invaluable
companion for film studies scholars, translators,
editors, literary agents, directors, scriptwriters
and general readers alike.
And also enjoy and participate in the range of
programmes happening here…
