The Piano Teacher

This short documentary is a poetic look at life, age and memory.

Vaishnava- Being Humane
Directed by Rukshana Tabassum
Produced by Mridusmita Das
India is a nation with Unity in Diversity. Multiculturalism is rooted in its 5000 years old Indian civilization and its heterogeneous culture has evolved through centuries. Composite culture in India has been propagated by various Saints in various times in their works. One such Saint was the Adi-Kavi of Gujarat, Narsinh Mehta, who wrote about humanity, truth, purity of mind, to respect all living beings in his poem Vaishnav Jan to. Notably, around the same time in Assam, another great Saint, Srimanta Sankardeva promoted the same philosophy in holy Kirtana. Srimanta Sankardeva not only incorporated such philosophy in the text Kirtana but also practised those principles in real life and succeeded in bringing people with different religious background and community associations under one roof of neo-vaishnavism through the institution of Naamghar. Such principles have time and again attributed towards national integration in India.
