A film detailing 21 woodcuts of Haren Das, who comes from a tradition of syncretic, lyrical Indian modernism of the Bengal school.

In Haren Das: 21 Studies of Life, Amit Dutta portrays the remarkable ability to infuse static images with vivid life, giving an immersive experience to Das’s printmaking, wood engravings, etching, and linocut, used to capture landscapes, seascapes, and flora and fauna indigenous to the Bengal region.
