Synopsis

Footage of an amateur actor rehearsing Bhasa’s work are robbed of sound and woven together with notepad-like intertitles that comment on the image, and thus on the film itself.

MUBI's take

Blue Elephant is a deceptively minimalist work by Amit Dutta, which observes an actor reciting an ancient Sanskrit text. This eclectic experimental short uses performance, text, animation, and sound to playfully ponder the interplay of art forms that can exist within a single film.
