Cinemaa Shorts and Documentaries spotlights
Let Me Call You, Ritwik Da
Short Film
On John Abraham’s death anniversary, CineMAA Shorts and Documentaries returns to a film shaped by a poem, a teacher, and an unfinished conversation.
John Abraham
11 August 1937 – 31 May 1987
Rebel filmmaker, poet, and student of Ritwik Ghatak at FTII, John Abraham saw cinema not as comfort, but as confrontation. In Let Me Call You, Ritwik Da, his poem to his teacher becomes the emotional spine of the film. What begins as remembrance slowly becomes something more intimate: a dialogue between love, rebellion, loss, and the restless inheritance of Ghatak’s cinema.
