Her character-driven works look for the intimacy, emotions and specificity of thought that give rise to truly universal concerns. Her directing and producing credits include Back Walking Forward, Long Way from Home, Cuban Canvas, One Hand Don’t Clap, and First Look. Early lifeKolkata-born Kavery Kaul (Bengali: কাবেরি) attended Ashok Hall School there. She moved to the U.S. at the age of six with her parents. Her mother Kanak Dutta was a history teacher, and her father M. Jan Dutta was an economist. Both were active in the political life of the U.S. and the building of community among Indian-Americans. Kaul attended Friends’ Central School in Philadelphia and Rutgers Preparatory School in Somerset, New Jersey. Later, she received her bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Harvard University/Radcliffe College, where as an English major, she discovered the poetry of Sonia Sanchez in one of the first courses outside the conventional literature curriculum. At the same time, she immersed herself in an unexpected course on the films of Satyajit Ray. CareerBefore setting out as a director, Kaul headed for Paris, finding France to be a fertile middle ground where she lived for two years. There, she learned the craft of editing at Scopcolor, a documentary production house launched by the French television journalist Roger Louis when he was fired by ORTF, the official French Radio and Television Office, after the political unrest of May, 1968. Kaul returned to New York City to continue her work as an editor on films including Robert Richter’s Vietnam: An American Journey and Peter Schnall’s The Real Thing. “If you know how to put a story together in the end, you know what to look for when you’re filming. Editing teaches directing,” she once said. She launched her filmmaking career with the documentary First Look. Filmed in Cuba and the U.S, it captures the first cultural exchange between the two countries since the Cuban Revolution when visiting artists Eduardo “Choco” Roca and Nelson Dominguez meet the American artworld and a curious American public. Her other directing credits include Back Walking Forward, about one family’s search for a new normal after their son’s traumatic brain injury; Long Way from Home, an intimate look at three teenage girls in their first encounter with differences of race and class at “top” schools; One Hand Don’t Clap, calypso (and soca) music from Brooklyn to Trinidad Carnival, through the eyes of Grandmaster Lord Kitchener and the groundbreaking Calypso Rose; Wild at Art, a portrait of Philippines-born Washington painter Pacita Abad; and Cuban Canvas, a story of artists in Havana in 2018. She has taught as an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University, City College of New York and School of Visual Arts. Other WorkKaul has always questioned who tells the story and whose voice is heard --- on or off screen. She was one of the first South Asians to serve on the Selection Committee of the Asian-American Film Festival. She is a co-founder of Manavi, the first organization created to stop violence against South Asian women in the U.S. She is the author of the articles “Of Slumdogs and Loveleen” on Women’s Media Center Online News, “Family Values” in ‘A’ Magazine, and “Cinema in India” in Filmmakers Newsletter.
