About this Event

Film director Sangeeta Datta is a co-author of Rituparno Ghosh: Cinema, Gender and Art, along with Kaustav Bakshi and Rohit K. Dasgupta. The book is a collection of essays on the renowned Indian-born filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, who was also a celebrated actor, writer and lyricist of Bengali cinema and an admirer of the work of Satyajit Ray. This volume is the first scholarly study undertaken on Ghosh and seeks to explore his work within the dynamics of a rapidly evolving film industry in Bengal and more broadly the cinematic landscape of India. His films glorified womanhood and closely and sensitively portrayed women’s lives, feelings and sufferings.
