Scenes from Contemporary Kolkata

Filmmaker Tanmay Chowdhary captures the presence of printed images of Hindu gods and goddesses in everyday life in the city of Kolkata. Shot in December 2025, the two-minute film shows prints in private homes, street-side shrines, offices, and factories. In the filmmaker’s words, each shot “reclaims these images from familiarity, asking the viewer to look again.”
