Jolchhobi translates to - as you see your reflection in a water body.

The first stories Nefertiti heard from her grandmother,
in the round lucid language of Bangla,
influence her imagination and have stayed with her
through her childhood and beyond, resonating within her
and the stories shared here.

Through Jolchhobi, Nefertiti Chakrabarti and Arnav Kakar strive to create films
of hope and magic. The idea is to try and emulate that resonance,
that deep reverberation you feel, when a story stays with you.

While they specialise in underwater cinematography,
they also cook, surf, dance and sing while
writing and researching life's many mysteries.
