Apart from carrying critiques of cinema’s
masters, it regularly contains writings on the socio-cultural and political significance of popular cinema, writings on the generation of meanings through cinematic signs and so on.DEEP FOCUS is widely circulated among film academicians and scholars, art film lovers aficionados, artistes, students and technicians who savour and relish film criticism and the divergent thrust of DEEP FOCUS positions it in a unique niche, a niche occupied by no other Indian journal. DEEP FOCUS also takes care to ensure that what is published has lasting relevance, thereby fulfilling a deep and very genuine cultural need in India.
