+'''Gautam Ghose, (b. 1950)
+'''Bengali director born in Faridpur, East Bengal
+(now Bangladesh). Father was a professor of
+English literature. Active in student politics in
+Calcutta. Freelance journalist and fringe theatre
+director. Made early documentaries as
+extension of his photojournalism. Influenced in
+this early practice by documentarist Sukhdev,
+who inspired him to do his own screenplays,
+camerawork, music and editing (in his early
+films). First feature, Maabhoomi, based on the
+Telangana uprising of 1941, imbues fiction with
+semi-documentary mode influenced by
+Solanas/Getino films of the 60s and by the folk
+Burrakatha form. Later moved to more
+conventional forms. Often places his stories in
+conditions of extreme social marginality,
+presented through his actors as physical,
+primitive and elemental battles of survival
+(Dakhal, Paar). Worked with the writings of
+Bengali novelist Kamal Kumar Majumdar (e.g.
+Antarjali Jatra). Most recent film Padma
+Nadir Majhi is an ambitious and expensive
+Indo-Bangladesh co-production adapting a
+classic novel by Manik Bandyopadhyay. Also
+directed a TV series adapting famous Bengali
+short stories (1986). Acted in Buddhadev
+Dasgupta’s Grihajuddha (1982), playing the
+reporter Sandipan who is killed, and composed
+the music for Agni Sanket (Sanjib
+Chattopadhyay, 1988).
