&lt;p id='p_1'&gt;Interview with Emmanuel Grimaud, who is one of France's brightest young anthropologists. Grimaud in the interview speaks of Indian cinema and its value to the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id='p_2'&gt;Former assistant director to Sanjay Leela Bhansali on &lt;em&gt;hum dil&amp;nbsp;de chuke sanam, &lt;/em&gt;Grimaud doesn't agree with honorary Cannes film festival director that Indian movies are not exciting to the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id='p_3'&gt;He is an admirer of Anurag Kashyap, of Tamil movies which are able to be rooted and yet have global gloss. He is also connected to the considerable experimental work being done in India by directors like Amit Dutta. But yes, he agrees, that France's view of Indian cinema is still stuck in the era of Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen. Clearly India needs to do more to market its movies. Here he speaks to Kaveree bamzai in Paris.&lt;/p&gt;
