Directing
Roshni Sen is a producer based out of Kolkata who has worked on several regional, commercial films such as Bhooter Bhobishyot, the national award winning Bakita Byaktigata and national films like Sonata. Roshni has been an ardent follower of the Theatre of the Absurd and an avid film buff since her adolescence. Over the years she has developed a fondness for/been deeply inspired by an array of directors ranging from Stanley Kubrick, Andrei Tarkovsky, Wener Herzog, Maya Deren, Ingmar Bergman, Luis Bunuel, Bela Tarr,Takashi Miike, Mrinal Sen, David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, Abbas Kiarostami, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Adam Curtis to name a few. Coming from a background in Liberal Arts with a focus in Sociology, she has always considered Cinema to be an extremely powerful tool for historically and culturally exploring various social archetypes as well as for retaining or recreating the status quo.After gaining experience as a producer (although she didn’t creatively connect with the films she worked on, learning about independent film financing and film production was invaluable), she wanted to create meaningful (personally as well as form a sociological standpoint) cinema that would not only dissect the culture and history of a given time and place, but that of cinema at large.
