Sabrang Fest 2025: Tigmanshu on cinema, AI, and vanishing soul of art

New Delhi, Nov 1 (UNI) The three-day Sabrang Festival 2025 started last evening with a stirring conversation featuring acclaimed filmmaker and actor Tigamanshu Dhulia. The discussion delved into cinema, creativity, and the essence of storytelling, touching on topics ranging from artificial intelligence to the loneliness of the artistic life.
Presented by the Help Artist India Foundation in collaboration with the People Foundation, the festival began yesterday at the Aiwan-e-Ghalib Auditorium, ITO, New Delhi. Curated by producer-director Farz Khan, the event celebrates Urdu 'adab', ghazal, and Indian classical music, bringing together poets, musicians, and filmmakers for a shared cultural dialogue.
Beginning with anecdotes from his early life in Allahabad, Dhulia revealed how his name “Tigmanshu,” meaning “sun,” was given by his mother, symbolising light and energy; qualities that, he said, have guided his artistic journey.
