Film personalities specially directors and other creative collaborate stands and creatives closely behind the scenes work to showcase their artistic vision. Some of these film directors like Satyajit Ray, Raj Kapoor, Mrinal Sen, Hrishikesh and, Shyam Benegal, Yash Chopra etc. are already legendary. Many women have emerged and succeeded for their skills as actors, writers, screen writer in the male-dominated film industry. But the presence of women behind the camera have been found comparatively less. There have been relatively few women film directors in India. There are Some of the India's pioneering female directors are Mira Nair, Kalpana Lajmi, Deepa Mehta, Anusha Rizvi, Rima Das. Undoubtedly Aparna Sen is one of the best among them. Acclaimed Indian movie actress, screenwriter and film director Aparna Sen is known for her creative work in Indian cinema. Most of her creativity have been in Bengali and Hindi, and also in English cinema. By the time Aparna Sen started directing her first film 36 Chowringhee Lane, she had already gained popularity as an actor, having starred as a playful young bride in Satyajit Ray's Bengali anthology film ‘Teen Kanya' and as a strong, independent working woman determined to teach the boarders of a boys' hostel a lesson in Dinen Gupta's comedy romance film Basanta Bilap. As a female director Aparna Sen’s perspective of seeing the world is different from men. Aparna Sen's films have never been restricted to a modern or progressive ideological framework instead they make their way into breaking all the boundaries of a backward society. She has directed many strong movies like 'The Rapist', 'Parama', 'Yugant', 'Sati', and 'Mr. and Mrs. Iyer'. Aparna Sen is well-known for her films that focus on women. Her women-centric films are a prominent example of how women telling women’s stories has been revolutionary. Aparna Sen has masterfully addressed women’s need, interest, suffering, desire, conflict and complexity through her films. In this article, I take a close look at some of her prominent works. | ||
