In Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra Valley, an ancient network of kuhls – hand-built water channels – carries water. The kohlis, “water masters,” struggle to protect this heritage, custodians of a way of life where water flows alongside folk tales, myths, and local arts.

Amit Dutta

Born in 1977 in India, he was educated at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in 2004, and is now regarded as one of the most successful experimental filmmakers from his country. Dutta has made more than 40 films and published six books. His works range from literary adaptations, fiction, documentation, video-diary and animation, often blurring genres in an attempt to engage directly with the subjects. Cinéma du réel devoted a retrospective to him in 2015.
