Aniket Dutta
2021Aniket Dutta is a filmmaker/singer/songwriter/graphic designer and visual artist based out of Calcutta, India. He's a nephew of notable Indian composer/music director Salil Chowdhury, whose presence in the family gave him the first exposure to film and music. He started music from an early age and his synthpop/indietronica moniker Oh,Rocket has been featured on various platforms including C-HEADS magazine/ ROLLINGSTONE etc. Being a multidisciplinary artist committed to music, visual art and poetry, cinema seemed to be the obvious choice
to explore his diverse passions. Influenced by the likes of Teshigahara, Maya Deren, Tsukamoto, Franz Kafka, Md Ali, Apichatpong, Kubrick,
Hanna-Barbera, Van Gogh, Sukumar Ray, Dali, Jodorowsky, Jan Svankmajer and different folktales of the world, Aniket wants to create a new kind of cinema that is explorative of the contemporary dystopian time which he feels is not only limited to the science fiction world but also spills over into our current socio political system.
