Balkrishna Doshi, one of India’s most influential 20th-century architects, passed away this year at 95 years old. The Promise provides audiences with the gift of getting to know Doshi, a soft-spoken humanist with distinctly modern designs. He shares his sources of inspiration with exceptional presence of mind, humor, and wisdom.

The TSA is proud to once again be partnering with ADFF: Toronto to bring a series of panel discussions and post-screening Q&As that complement this year’s film roster.
