Charulata (1964), Directed by Satyajit Ray

Based on Nastanirh (Bengali: নষ্টনীড়, English: 'The Broken Nest'), a 1901 Bengali novella by Rabindranath Tagore.

In 1870s India, Charulata (Madhabi Mukherjee) is an isolated, artistically inclined woman who sees little of her busy journalist husband, Bhupati (Sailen Mukherjee). Realizing that his wife is alienated and unhappy, he convinces his cousin, Amal (Soumitra Chatterjee), to spend time with Charulata and nourish her creative impulses. Amal is a fledgling poet himself, and he and Charulata bond over their shared love of art.

A Night in the Park (2021), Directed by Sosa

Statement from artist:

“I felt that one of the best ways to explore my friendship with Seyi was to have her in front of a camera. She is full of so much energy and has such a bright and unique presence that made me very interested in seeing what would happen, if we were to make a film. I wanted to capture her energy in such a way that even when the film ends, you are still somewhat overwhelmed by the thought of her.”
