Q talks about how 5 years of making his documentary Love In India were his definitive film school, encounters with Run Lola Run and Visitor Q changing his life and his discomfort with western storytelling mode. He elaborates on working in the lo-fi fashion, the political underside to being an independent filmmaker, and insists why he's most averse to the consumerist urgency of delivering an ultimate satisfactory high to his audiences. He shares fascinating snippets from his diverse work, such as the songs of Gandu being created within an hour, why he believes Bengali cinema has already perished for years now.
