The short films Gita Govinda, Field-Trip, and Scenes from a Sketchbook use radically different approaches to the 17th-century painter Nainsukh (the subject of Dutta’s feature of the same name) and his descendants’ work. Gita Govinda stays closest to the paintings themselves, employing audio cues and a virtuosic collage style to bring the dynamic compositions by Nainsukh’s artistic heirs to life.
