Synopsis

Satyajit Ray's unrealised screenplay, The Alien, envisioned a science fiction narrative set in contemporary India. Otolith III reimagines the paths of its fictional protagonists, offering a fresh perspective on their story. Written in 1967, The Alien would have marked a significant moment in Indian cinema as the first science fiction film. This 48-minute documentary reflects on Ray's legacy and the potential impact of his work on the genre within the Indian context.
