BIOGRAPHY

buddhadebdasgupta
An economics professor by training, many critics consider Buddhadeb Dasgupta to India’s foremost director today. His reputation as a filmmaker rests as much on the lyrical poetry of the film as on the social relevant themes he highlights. His films have seen him grow from strength to strength.
His initial films, Duratwa (1978), Grihajuddha (1981) and Andhi Gali (1984) formed a triology that served to establish him as the director to look out for. And that promise have been amply fulfilled in his latter body of work. Phera (1986), Bagh Bahadur (1989), Tahader Katha (1992), Charachar (1993), Lal Darja (1996), Uttara (2000) and his latest Mondo Meyer Upakhyan (2002).
A multi-talented person, he continued to teach till 1978. By then he had already become a famous poet. His novels have a special place in Bengal’s contemporary literature.
His documentaries have been no less celebrated. Three books have already been written on him. National and international accolades have regularly come his way, and his films are prized commodities at festivals globally.
Dasgupta won several national awards and a special jury prize for directing at 2000 Venice International Film Festival for 'The Wrestlers' (Uttara).
