Sohrab Hura awarded 2025 Eye Art & Film Prize
Sohrab Hura has received the 2025 Eye Art & Film Prize, which comes with €30,000 to fund a new project that will be presented at the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. Hura, who hails from Chinsurah, India, is now based in New Delhi. After earning a master's in economics from the Delhi School of Economics, he turned to photography as his main focus. His artistic style is quite varied, combining film, photography, drawing, sound, and text, often intertwining personal experiences with societal commentary. His 2020 film, 'The Coast,' delves into our relationship with nature through a personal lens. The prize, now in its eleventh year, honors those who connect visual art with cinema, following past winners like Hito Steyerl and Garrett Bradley.
