Our take

Philosophically reflecting on space as a container for childhood memories, Sonchidi is an enigmatic sci-film that riffs on time, nature, architecture, and sound. An unusual exploration of the idea of a time machine, Amit Dutta’s work looks at art’s role in preserving our dreams and our fears.
