Filmmaker Chaitanya Tamhane On His Award - Winning Debut Court | BOOM

His film Court has just won the National Award for best film. World cinema has already acknowledged him as a shining new talent. Mumbai-based writer and filmmaker Chaitanya Tamhane opens up about the art and craft of his cinema.

For nearly a year now film buffs, filmmakers and film festivals the world over have been exclaiming over an incandescent new talent. It is that of Mumbai-based writer & filmmaker Chaitanya Tamhane. His debut feature, Court, with its droll observations, deep empathy, moral compass and cultural rootedness is a universal statement of what cinema can be and do.

A seemingly simple film it weaves a complex tapestry of our society using disparate strands - our arcane laws, the sapping judicial system, the pathetic condition of Dalits, the price of political activism, and above all the banal cruelty and helplessness of middle class lives. The fact that Tamhane is just 28 years old, somehow makes what he’s created even more special. He allows Anuradha SenGupta, albeit guardedly, to decode his art and craft.

This conversation was shot at Matterden CFC in Lower Parel, Mumbai.
