The Museum of Imagination: A Portrait in Absentia

Amit Dutta
2013 India 20 minutes Hindi

“In the year 2011-2012, we recorded long conversations with Prof. B.N. Goswamy about his life and work. Interspersed with these talks were also some silences. In this film we have put some of those moments of silence together. All that has been added are some sights and sounds that have been a part of his life.” (A. Dutta)
