Biography
I'm deeply interested in South Asian independent cinema, discourses of accessibility and distribution, film festival strategy building, entertainment reportage/ long form film criticism. One of my many useless skills include an obsessive memory geared to tracking production journeys of independent films vis a vis grants, labs, etc.

An Asian Ghost Story (2023) ‘Dok Leipzig Film Festival’ Short Film Review - A mesmerising swirl of spectres and pasts
By Debanjan Dhar| High on Films Verified “It was a strange time, with strange things and strange people”, the narrator recounts Hong Kong of the 1960s, perfectly setting the stone for this moody, meandering short film directed by Bo Wang. While there is an invitation to suspend a modicum of disbelief, An Asian Ghost Story (2023) is strongly tethered to the fractious cross currents of history. Wang glides through time as loosely and fluidly as do ghosts across lands and continents.
By Debanjan Dhar| High on Films Verified Hovhannes Ishkhanyan’s documentary – Beauty And The Lawyer has one of the most unique couples as its subjects. Set in Armenia, we follow the lives of Garik and Hasmik, from their wedding to celebrating their son’s first Christmas. As it transpires soon, Garik has been a drag artist for a decade, his queer avatar as Carabina a sensation, dabbles in sex work and also puts up autobiographical solo theatre acts that attempt to make sense of the immense queerphobia that is entrenched all around him.

By Debanjan Dhar| High on Films Verified In Kaouther Ben Hania’s documentary – Four Daughters, fact and fiction are interpellated to mixed results. Under the film’s meta-fictional gaze, the subjects, a Tunisian family devastated by the decision of its two daughters to join ISIS, seek some sort of closure, hoping to have a better understanding of how things came to pass to their present circumstances.
