White, a silent film on
rape, is doing rounds globally and the director, Aneek Chaudhuri, couldn't have been happier. When asked about producers Abhishek Sinha and Subir Saha's role in White, he said, “They have been great collaborators. Earlier, I had this conception about producers of being obsessed with only the commercial elements in the film. Abhishekda and Subirda have been exceptions.
They respect each role associated with the film and grant the freedom as well. It was a great experience. Moreover, I was more comfortable with them as we three are Bengalis but based out of Bengal. So, we respect the vulnerability or temporal aspect of success. We do not take things for granted.”
Aneek is all praise for his assistant Satyajit Das, editor
Shibam Samanta and cinematographer Snehasis Mitra. "Satyajit is someone who you can trust with your life as he is always there by me. Shibam did things with sheer dedication. Snehasis is the one who actually formed a great understanding with me in terms of aesthetic support. He would understand what I meant just from the way I would stare. Sourideb Chatterjee (the other DoP) is a smart worker. He is calm and composed and would complement me on the sets.” The film was screened at Marche du film of Festival de Cannes and will now travel to Indian Film Festival in Vienna.
