Chitra Neogy
The 'Movie Lover We Love' explains that for her, the experience of watching cinema is similar to the ancient Sanskrit word "rasa," which means to empty oneself to a work of art. She tells Indiwire, "It s like you re an empty vessel in front of a beautiful piece of art and you receive and it just pours into you." In her course Film as a Transformative Process: A Vision Beyond Technology, Chitra creates an environment where students develop a deeper language of themselves and go through a journey of self-discovery through film. This course is offered to NYU undergraduate students through the Tisch Open Arts curriculum.
