Post Midnight Hour was a 3 part series; produced & directed by and; commissioned to Ashim Ghosh, New Delhi, by Prasar Bharati, India in 1997. The series presented diverse perspectives on the experiences of a post-independence India, through the journeys of the photograph, as well as through insights from Photographers, Photo Studios, Collectors and expert Commentators. Photographs created primarily between 1947 and 1998 were sourced and collected from 35 locations across 11 Indian states, under the aegis of Project Unearth, conducted by Ghosh, driving 9948kms across India in his little 800cc Maruti Suzuki. This encompassed works from 81 sources, including photographers, photo studios and photo collectors. Among these was the historic photojournalistic documentation of the lead up to independence and after by Homai Vyarawala, early pictorial salon imagery by J.N. Unwala, documentation of the feminist movement in India by Sheeba Chhachhi and studio portraiture from contemporary tribal villages in Andhra Pradesh & Uttar Pradesh - a mini-archive of visual socio-anthropology revealing insights into the birth and journey of a nation. In addition, Ghosh conducted 33 video interviews across New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Vaddodara, with prominent photographers of diverse practice, studio owners and expert/cultural commentators - totaling 24 hours of archival Beta SP footage directed by Ghosh and shot by cinematographer Dilip Varma. This unique documentary series featured the rare works and insights of Photographers like Homai Vyarawala, T.S. Nagarajan and Debolina Majumdar; seen for the very first time in a documentary out of India; other than representing many prominent Indian Photographers and diverse Photo Studios from across India.
Post Midnight Hour was broadcast in 1998 on the Doordarshan National Network, India, during the 50 Years of Indian Independence Celebrations.
