Aparna Sen: From Teen Kanya to Legendary Director | A Rare Conversation with an Iconic Filmmaker

Описание: Aparna Sen

About the Speaker

Aparna Sen stands as one of India’s most formidable cultural voices—an actor, filmmaker, writer, and public intellectual who has shaped and challenged the nation’s creative and social consciousness for over six decades. Since her screen debut in 1961, she has used cinema not merely as a form of entertainment, but as a powerful lens to question norms, examine relationships, and confront deeply rooted ideas around gender, power, morality, and identity. With an uncompromising voice and rare intellectual courage, her work continues to provoke dialogue, disrupt comfort zones, and reflect society back to itself, honest, flawed, and evolving.
