Kalpavigyan: A Speculative Journey
What is Bangla kalpavigyan? Is there such a thing as Bangla Science Fiction? Is there such a thing as Indian SF? This is our journey with the genre, captured and presented like never before in film. Beginning with the early work of writers such as Rokeya Sakhawat Hussain (Begum Rokeya) and the speculative mode in Bengal, and ending with the pioneering webzine Kalpabiswa, the film traces the historical arc of kalpavigyan over a century of the genre. From the genre magazines of the 1960s-80s and the writers and editors who ignited the movement by giving it shape and form, the film presents a series of conversations and critical reflections from researchers and scholars who have worked with the genre both in relation to Bengal and kalpavigyan as well as the wider phenomenon of SF.

Reviews
Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
