Mani Kaul And That Thing Called The Actor (2025)
Mita Vasisht

The film takes a journey with a young actress and a young Dhrupad musician, into the landscape of an iconic film director's ideas of what acting in cinema is, or should be.... A profound insight into the deep engagement that film maker Mani Kaul had with the Natyashastra (the 2500-year-old treatise of the performing arts), and his practise of it, in crafting the actors' performance, in his cinema.
