Description: Sohag, a 2020 short film in Bangla, marks the directorial debut of actress Sohag Sen. Titled “The Sorrow of Love,” the film delves into themes of love and hope amidst the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The cast includes notable actors such as Anindya Chatterjee, Monalisa Chatterjee Dasgupta, Rudrarup Mukhopadhyay, Swaroopa Ghosh, and Sohag Sen herself.
The idea for the film was born from interdisciplinary artist Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee, with Sohag penning the screenplay. Reflecting on the project, Sohag shared that Sujoy’s narrative resonated deeply with her as it portrayed collective suffering. Adapting the story to the context of the pandemic was not difficult, given the widespread human losses experienced globally. Directing the film, she enjoyed collaborating with a young team to bring her vision to life.
Sujoy, who recently recovered from Covid-19, expressed his excitement about the collaboration. Having previously worked with Sohag on cultural initiatives, he described her artistic skills as inspiring and influential in shaping his own craft. He conceptualized this film as a gesture of gratitude for her contributions to the arts.
“The Sorrow of Love” promises to be a poignant reflection on shared struggles and resilience during unprecedented times.
