Anwar Huda (b. 1975) graduated from University of Allahabad in 1995 and earned a postgraduate Diploma in mass communication from New Delhi in 1999. His love for cinema became evident at a very early age. He learned the practical aspects of movie making in Mumbai for four years (1999-2003). But he did not identify with masala Bollywood films and it’s chalta hai attitude. Now he is concentrating on authoring books and trying to get into Hollywood for making world class cinemas. He is highly inspired by Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa and David Lean. World Cinema has been his most enduring passion. Roma Citta aperta, Ladri Di Biciclette, Rashomon, Citizen Kane, English Patient, Schindler’s List are his all time favourites. The Art and Science of Cinema is the outcome of his pure love for cinema.
