Amit Dutta

The works of Amit Dutta oscillate between Indian mythology and a personal symbolism whose distinctive pictorial language is often compared with that of Sergei Parajanov. Born in 1977, the graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India is already regarded at his young age as one of the prime experimental filmmakers on the Subcontinent. He made a name for himself in Europe as well when Keshkambli was screened in Oberhausen in 2003, and he won the FIPRESCI Award at the festival in 2007 for Kramasha. —kurzfilmtage.de
