This event is presented in association with The Bengal Heritage Foundation.
Aparna Sen Retrospective will be launched with a special screening of "The Japanese Wife," a poignant film directed by Sen known for its profound exploration of love and longing. The narrative centres around Snehamoy, a dedicated schoolteacher in rural Bengal, who forges a deep, enduring relationship with his Japanese pen pal, Miyage. Their bond, nurtured solely through letters, culminates in a marriage that spans continents yet remains confined to the realm of written correspondence.
Following the screening, a stimulating Q&A session with Aparna Sen will provide deeper insights into the film's creation, its thematic richness, and Sen's directorial approach.
