Tagore and Indian Cinema: A Talk with Sangeeta Datta (Nehru Centre, London)
Deadline: 26 April 2011, 7pm

Tagore’s works - poetry, prose, music and song - offer all possibilities to the creative artist. The filmmaker translates, narrates and interprets through the framework of cinema. Tagore’s works go beyond their space and time, the universal language of cinema makes it possible to adapt a Tagore literary piece for the consumption of an international audience ideally through the medium of film.


Filmmaker and film historian Sangeeta Datta will talk through the various cinematic adaptations of Tagore with reference to the works of Satyajit Ray, Tapan Sinha, Rituparno Ghosh and other filmmakers.

This is a free event, no booking needed. In association with Baithak-UK.

Location: Nehru Centre, 8 South Audley Street, London, United Kingdom
