Heard melodies are sweet, said the poet John Keats. Then again, Keats would be aghast at the bombardment of visual stimulation that an individual today goes through. For filmmakers, the saturation of the visual experience can prove challenging. The alternative lies in sound, suggests filmmaker Neelansh Mittra. Mittra will join Vedvanti Kasture today at the screening of their two sound documentaries at the Alliance Française de Bombay to highlight how the medium of sound can be just as effective a tool in conveying complex stories.
Both, Mittra and Kasture, are the Indian laureates of the International Sound Documentary Programme held at ENS Louis Lumière in Paris in 2023.
