Acclaimed Assamese filmmaker Arindam Barooah is set to complete his latest project, “Eta Ratir Seshot” (At the End of One Night), by the end of this month. The film, which explores the complex relationship between a father and son, marks another milestone in Barooah’s career crafting emotionally resonant cinema.
Barooah, who transitioned from engineering to filmmaking, has built a reputation for tackling human sentiments and crises in his work. Describing his latest creation, he says, ‘Eta Ratir Seshot’ examines a relationship that transcends time and physical boundaries, powerful enough to alter the course of human life and even influence fate. It’s a poignant tale of life and what lies beyond.”
The filmmaker’s portfolio includes a diverse range of critically acclaimed works. His feature film “Panisokori” (In the Swirls) garnered attention, while his short films and documentaries have covered a wide array of themes. Notable among these are “Eti Notun Prabhat” (A New Dawn), “Akanksha” (An Impassioned Desire), and the documentary “Exploring Namphake,” which delves into cultural beauty and tradition.
Barooah’s other works include “Baandhon” (In Chains), “Bhranti” (Fallacy Beholds), “Bodh” (Unfolding the Spirit of Reverence), “Obosheshot” (At Last), “Rendezvous” (Unfolding an Unforeseen), and “Endharor Bheta Bhangi” (Breaking the Cocoon). Each of these productions has contributed to Barooah’s reputation as a filmmaker who deftly navigates the intricacies of human emotions and societal issues.
As “Eta Ratir Seshot” nears completion, anticipation builds in the regional film circuit for this latest offering from one of Assamese cinema’s most thought-provoking directors.
