Until that happens, here’s a list of some of the most brilliant cinematographers in India, who happen to be women. It is time for an upheaval and a change, to mark the beginning of a day when there won’t be a female doctor, a female boss or a female cinematographer, but rather doctors, bosses and cinematographers who just happened to be women. It can be attributed to the same sexist attitudes in the Indian film industry as there are in the day-to-day life of a woman in our society. Despite the Indian entertainment industry being a space where thousands of films and advertisements are produced every year, only five to seven women make it to the list of top 100 cinematographers each year. So, at a time when we are just about getting used to the idea of ‘female doctors’ or even ‘female authors’, here we are curating a list of homegrown female cinematographers, who have done phenomenal work in Indian cinema. Sounds tragic, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, this is the kind of discrimination that has been inflicted on both genders by ‘patriarchy’ – a system which has a exerted a stranglehold on human beings since the very beginning of civilisation. For example, you would never hear somebody talk about a ‘female dancer’ or a ‘female caregiver’, since these are professions that are anyway associated with feminine traits, and therefore, it is meant without being explicitly stated that a caregiver or a dancer would be a woman, and not a man. ‘Female author’, ‘female director’, ‘female boss’ – these are certain phrases that we quite shamelessly use to qualify women who have done remarkably well in their lives in a profession which had typically been associated with the male gender.
