Paramesh Krishnan Nair (born 6 April 1933) is an Indian film archivist and film scholar, who was the founder and director of the National Film Archive of India (NFAI) in 1964. He is regarded as the Henri Langlois of India because of his lifelong dedication towards the preservation of films in India. A passionate film archivist, he worked at the NFAI for over three decades, collecting films from India and from all over the world. He was instrumental in acquiring for the archive several landmark Indian films like Dadasaheb Phalke's ''Raja Harishchandra'' and ''Kaliya Mardan'', Bombay Talkies films such as ''Jeevan Naiya'', ''Bandhan'', ''Kangan'', ''Achhut Kanya'' and ''Kismet'', S. S. Vasan's ''Chandralekha'' and Uday Shankar's ''Kalpana''. In 2012, ''Celluloid Man'', an award-winning documentary was made on his life and works, by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur. == Early life and education == Born and brought up in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Nair developed an early interest in cinema. His initiation into films began with Tamil mythological films in the early 1940s such as K. Subramaniam's ''Ananthasayanam'' and ''Bhakta Prahlada''. His fascination for cinema began here, though his family did not support his interest in films. He graduated in science from the University of Kerala in 1953. Soon after, he went to Bombay to pursue a career in filmmaking. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「P. K. Nair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
