Natir PujaTagore’s Natir Puja – The Court Dancer
Directed by Prof. Karl Bardosh

Synopsis: Natir Puja, The Court Dancer, the only film Rabindranath Tagore, India’s national poet, had ever directed in 1932, was destroyed by fire soon after completion. Paying tribute to Tagore’s genius, our film essay is about the genesis and remaking of Tagore’s dance drama in 3D Single Shot Cinema style at the same studio, New Theaters Sound Stage #1 where Tagore directed his film over 80 years ago. The message of Tagore’s dance drama: warning against murder committed in religious hatred is –unfortunately- as timely as it was in the 2400 year old Buddhist legend, that was Tagore’s source material.
