Brown Library Acquires Anand Patwardhan’s Film Archive

We are delighted to announce that the Brown University Library has acquired digital access to a significant portion of the renowned filmmaker Anand Patwardhan’s oeuvre. The 19 titles from Patwardhan's filmography—spanning works from the early '70s to the present—are now available for streaming through BruKnow. This important collection is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and all those interested in documentary practices, political cinema, and social justice.
