Celebrities are everywhere, and star-gazing is an additional pleasure when added to the immense distractions of people-watching in Mumbai. Cinema history is a place to get lost while you’re visiting, and if you look a little deeper, you’ll find the name Abdul Ali.
He’s a name that’s revered among most film historians, and when he passed away in 2004, he left a gap that’s very difficult to fill. He was a man of singular obsession, and this obsession has made it possible for many artists to continue their work. In 1968, Adbul Ali set up the Cine Society, an organization that was devoted to showing rare and previously lost vintage films. His passion for this work came from his observations at festivals where reels would be lost, and that drove him to collect like mad. He would hear rumors of a lost reel somewhere at a flea market, or stopped at an airport, and he was off to rescue it for his remarkable archive. Because his contributions are so keenly felt, it should inspire the next generation of archivists to determine how to continue the work in a digital age, with new conveniences, and new problems.
