A life on film

Amit Dutta

One of the most important figures in experimental cinema today, Amit Dutta’s films will be screened at an online festival starting this weekend. The seven-day event titled An Auteur’s Palette, to be held from February 20 to 27, is being hosted by the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA). About the significance of the event, Roobina Karode, director and chief curator, KNMA, shared, “Dutta is a conscientious filmmaker who catches the pulse of our time, presenting themes of art’s historical relevance through a personal and exploratory style. The subtle nuances in films like Nainsukh (2010) or How Not to Do Philosophy (2020) — one of his most recent works — are memorable. We are delighted to present his films to a diverse set of audiences through organised online screenings.” Visit knma.in to watch these gems.
