memory and history

His films like 'Mirror' and 'Stalker' explore memory as a fluid, poetic force intertwined with personal and collective history.

His experimental work 'La Jetée' uses fragmented images and voiceover to examine how memory constructs history and identity across time.

His trilogy on Partition ('Subarnarekha', 'Meghe Dhaka Tara') powerfully depicts how personal trauma embeds itself in collective historical memory.
