In this exhibition, the viewer is invited into an intimate narrative, captured through the lenses of two generations—photographers Nemai Ghosh and Satyaki Ghosh. Here, the lives of legendary filmmakers are revealed across decades, both in moments of solitary reflection and within the creative pulse of Kolkata, a city that stands as a silent witness to their cinematic journeys. Kolkata itself becomes a silent, living character within this exhibition.
Icons in Focus offers a portrait of two cinematic giants, not only as directors but as individuals deeply woven into Bengal’s cultural fabric. Nemai and Satyaki Ghosh’s dedication brings these icons back into view, allowing us to walk alongside Ray and Sen, glimpsing the world as they saw it, if only for a moment.
