Synopsis

The Ashokan rock-edict in a remote Himalayan village has the last fragment of a script decipherable only by few experts. Some miles away in Shimla, the art-historian V.C.Ohri, who uncovered the origins and techniques of Pahari paintings, warmly welcomes visitors.

Our take

This silent tribute to the late art historian V.C. Ohri spotlights Amit Dutta’s uncanny ability to create a meaningful, thought-provoking collage of images from all kinds of material. An anecdotal short which subtly reminds us of the rich artistic and philosophical heritage of the Himalayan region.
