Rituparno Ghosh’s last completed film Jeevan Smriti: Selected Memories (77 mins), an impressionist documentary on Rabindranath Tagore will be telecast on August 8, 10:30 pm on Doordarshan.
The film in English celebrates the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore while the telecast coincides with 22nd Shravan, his death anniversary.
Jeevan Smriti is produced by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India and filmmaker Sanjoy Nag is the creative producer.
“The film focuses on some key journeys in Tagore’s life that evolved and enriched his quest to re-imagine a new India, which would rise above narrow patriotic concerns prevailing in the country of the time,” Rituparno had said. “The idea is not to stick to the expected austerity of the standard documentary film, but to bring Tagore alive as a flesh and blood person whom the average Indian can relate to despite his lofty philosophical expression, as a lovable and highly accessible vulnerable human being.
