A HIDDEN HERITAGE:
INDO-BRITISH FILM COLLABORATION IN THE UK (1930-1951)
Over the past year SACF has been researching the hidden history of Indo-British film
collaborations in the 1930s and 1940s. Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the project
has uncovered fascinating new material on the better-known stars of that era such as Sabu and
Merle Oberon, as well as stories of previously unknown collaborations between British and
South Asian filmmaking personnel. This event will profile the project’s findings.
