The Seventh Walk (सातवीं सैर)
a film by Amit Dutta
2013, 72 mins
A painter's journey into the source of his inspiration in the landscape surrounding him and within him.
Shot on super-16mm film, this is an abstract exploration of the creative process. Starting with 'Nainsukh', his 2010 film on the eponymous 17th century master-painter, Amit Dutta started making a series of films located in the Kangra Valley of the Lower Western Himalayas. This film approaches another shade of the same landscape through the modernist paintings of Paramjit Singh, whose mud home-studio in the hills sets the stage in the film.
The film's musical score is notable for Amit Dutta's collaboration with Rudra Veena maestro Bahauddin Dagar.
