Amit Dutta is an acclaimed Indian filmmaker and visual artist known for his experimental and meditative approach to cinema. A graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Dutta has directed numerous award-winning films that blend literature, art, history, and philosophy. His works, including Nainsukh and The Museum of Imagination, have been screened at prestigious festivals such as Berlinale FF, Venice IFF, Oberhausen, Rotterdam etc. Renowned for their contemplative pace and visual richness, his films often explore themes of memory, tradition, and the intersection of art forms. Dutta also writes extensively on cinema and teaches at academic institutions in India.
In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, a female scientist and a young man from the indigenous Bugun community are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world.
