Cinemaazi wishes Goutam Ghose a very happy birthday
24 Jul 1950
Birthday wishes to National Award winning cinematographer and director Goutam Ghose. Maker of acclaimed films like Dakhal (1982), Paar (1984), Antarjali Yatra (1987), Padma Nadir Majhi (1992), Patang (1993), Gudia (1997), Abar Aranye (2003), Kaalbela (2009) and Moner Manush (2010), he has also occasionally acted in films. His films bear strong influences from New Wave realism with a focus on the society's marginalised peoples. With no formal training in filmmaking, he had started making documentaries with a borrowed 35 mm camera. It was his documentary Hungry Autumn (for which Mrinal Sen had acted as his bank guarantor), based on the famine of 1974, which brought him widespread attention.
