Subhajit Singha

Subhajit Singha is an Indian film editor. After growing up in a small town of Dooars intoxicated with the movies, followed by a course in film school, exclusively fascinated by scripted storytelling, and a brief career as an assistant editor, he has quickly become a sought-after editor in feature films-known for bringing a chest full of love, craft and creativity to filmmaking across genres, and for being a true steady hard collaborator in the cutting room. Subhajit's first feature film as an editor, 'Cinemawala (a farewell to celluloid)' was released 2016. Subhajit is known for his minimalist approach to create emotional and engaging sequences. Burnished narrative arc along with suggestive timing creates bridge between the world of words and the world of the moving images in his works; he often says "editing is poetry". He also talks about how he gets excited dealing with the tiny witty moments and suspension created during the interaction of characters; fathom of claustrophobia or vastness created with juxtaposing other than meaningless shots. His enthusiasm for big screen storytelling is matched only by his total dedication to the craft of film editing, his nerdy technical expertise and his undisputed love of graphic novels.
