XYZ / Kshya Tra Gya
Dir: Amit Dutta | India | 2004 | 22min
A boy (who is also an old man) tries to tell a story. The first part deals with the ritual of a boy going to school, and the second part deals with the storybook. With a rhythmic structure, this abstract narrative tale is told using in-camera special effects and mythological references to Indian narrative traditions.
“Amit Dutta’s Kshya Tra Ghya (X Y Z) is a delightfully quirky and stylised tribute to India’s storytelling traditions presented as a series of visual and aural riddles.”
May 6, 2006, Saibal Chatterjee, The Tribune, India
