Filmmakers Ashish Avikunthak, Indrasis Acharya and Ishaan Ghose have raised questions about whether Bengali cinema has lost its rootedness and its ability to truly look at Bengal.
Their reflection touches on subjects such as the invisible lives of Dhapa and the changing textures of the Bengali language, which they say may be losing some of its density.
The discussion centres on what may have slipped out of the frame in recent Bengali films and whether cinema can still find its way back to a deeper connection with the region and its people.
