- The TBIP Tête-à-Tête is a series of in-depth and intimate interviews with film personalities who are critical to this era of filmmaking. It is an attempt to understand their body of work. And their minds. Because who they are intrigues us just as much as what they do. Because what they do is because of who they are. In certain cases, despite who they are. Because integral to the love of cinema is the love of cinema's idols- the chosen few whose mystique remains intact despite the tabloids' obsession with their lives.
Q loves to subvert things. Often, without a cause. He believes wholeheartedly in shock for shock's sake, as an artistic tool. He is unabashed about this, matter-of-fact about making a mission of his metaphors. The adman who went by the name of Qaushiq Mukherjee arrived on the international and Indian alternative cinema scene with films like Bishh and the provocative and acclaimed Gandu, which, unsurprisingly, failed to get a commercial release in the country. Unfazed, he formed Gandu Circus, an indie rock band against censorship along the lines of what the film stood for. Now he's hoping to make a graphic novel of it, tentatively titled Gandu Goppo. His last feature, Tasher Desh, an adaptation of a Rabindranath Tagore play, is both a tribute to and a subversion of the original play and has won critical appreciation at home and abroad. More bafflingly, one of his documentaries Love In India, on repressed Indian sexuality and, among other things, a quest for the perfect orgasm, won a National Award for 'Family Welfare'. Q remains unfazed, if a little amused. He sees this as another redefinition, an idea he seems to enjoy. In fact, he redefines himself quite a few times in this interview, on his life and work so far, providing incisive and compelling arguments for each time.

He seems like a very sweet, unassuming chap in this interview! Clearly the violence and hurt and chaos in his work (which comes from somewhere within him obvs) have been well exorcised from his life and mind. But yeah fascinating contrast.
Please fix the sound... Initial guitar tune totally hurt my ears.
lovely. engaging and engrossing. more of such interviews
Such an interesting chat!! :)
Please fix the audio and re-upload :)
Socialism has not failed Q, Atleast, Latin America is a prrof of that. The most important question is , can socialism exist with dominant capitalism around the sate.
The interviewer is so clearly out of depth - only qualification is a smattering of English. I guess thats what counts
