Satyajit Ray Retrospective Opens Film India
Ill The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 39 *o For Immediate Release 5/26/81 COMPLETE SATYAJIT RAY RETROSPECTIVE OPENS FILM INDIA Artist, author, musician, and master filmmaker SATYAJIT RAY will introduce FILM INDIA, the largest and most comprehensive program of Indian cinema ever exhibited in this country. Presented by The Department of Film in conjunction with The Asia Society and the Indo-US Subcommission on Education and Culture, FILM INDIA is designed to broaden American awareness of the long history of Indian cinema as well as of the recent developments in Indian filmmaking. FILM INDIA is structured in three parts. The first section will comprise a retrospective of films (with English subtitles) of the internationally acclaimed director Satyajit Ray, including shorts and features that have not been previously exhibited in this country. Many new 35mm prints of Ray's films are being made specifically for this program, including his most recent feature, THE KINGDOM OF DIAMONDS (1980) and an even later work, PIKOO (1980), a short film. The complete Ray retrospective totals 29 films, June 25 - July 24. Satyajit Ray (Calcutta, 1921) was born into a distinguished Bengali family. After working for some years as an art director in an advertising firm, he completed — against tremendous odds — his first film, PATHER PANCHALI, in 1955. Its premiere at The Museum of Modern Art in May 1955, its acclaim at the 1956 Cannes Film Fest ival, and its immediate success throughout Bengal, encouraged Ray and enabled him to become a professional filmmaker. PATHER PANCHALI was followed by two sequels, forming the now famous APU Trilogy.

Barrenness and Bengali Cinema
1 “May You Be the Mother of A Hundred Sons!”: Barrenness vs. Motherhood in Bengali Cinema” Somdatta Mandal Department of English & Other Modern European Languages Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan Borrowing from the recently published novel The Palace of Illusions, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s reimagining of the world-famous epic Mahabharata, let me begin with a well-known story. “Gandhari’s marriage, although she’d given up so much for its sake, was – like Kunti’s – not a happy one. Dhritarashtra was a bitter man. He never got over the fact that he’d been passed over by the elders – just because he was blind – when they decided which of the brothers should be king… The goal of Dhritarashtra’s life was to have a son who could inherit the throne after him. But here a problem arose, for in spite of his assiduous attempts Gandhari didn’t conceive for many years. When she finally did, it was too late. Kunti was already pregnant with Judhisthir. A year came. A year went. Yudhisthir was born. As the first male child of the next generation, the elders declared, the throne would be his. Dhritarashtra’s spies brought more bad news. Kunti was pregnant again. Now there were two obstacles between Dhritarashtra and his desire. Gandhari’s stomach grew large as a giant beehive, but her body refused to go into labor. Perhaps the frustrated king berated her, or perhaps the fact that he’d taken one of her waiting women as his mistress drove Gandhari to her act of desperation. She struck her stomach again and again until she bled, and bleeding gave birth to a huge, unformed ball of flesh.

(1): Special Issue 100 Years of Indian Cinema the Changing World Of
1 MediaWatch Volume 4 (1): Special Issue 100 Years of Indian Cinema The Changing World of Satyajit Ray: Reflections on Anthropology and History MICHELANGELO PAGANOPOULOS University of London, UK Abstract The visionary Satyajit Ray (1921-1992) is India’s most famous director. His visual style fused the aesthetics of European realism with evocative symbolic realism, which was based on classic Indian iconography, the aesthetic and narrative principles of rasa, the energies of shakti and shakta, the principles of dharma, and the practice of darsha dena/ darsha lena, all of which he incorporated in a self-reflective way as the means of observing and recording the human condition in a rapidly changing world. This unique amalgam of self-expression expanded over four decades that cover three periods of Bengali history, offering a fictional ethnography of a nation in transition from agricultural, feudal societies to a capitalist economy. His films show the emotional impact of the social, economic, and political changes, on the personal lives of his characters. They expand from the Indian declaration of Independence (1947) and the period of industrialization and secularization of the 1950s and 1960s, to the rise of nationalism and Marxism in the 1970s, followed by the rapid transformation of India in the 1980s. Ray’s films reflect upon the changes in the conscious collective of the society and the time they were produced, while offering a historical record of this transformation of his imagined India, the ‘India’ that I got to know while watching his films; an ‘India’ that I can relate to. The paper highlights an affinity between Ray’s method of film-making with ethnography and amateur anthropology.

National Seminar on FICTION INTO FILM: Satyajit Ray's Interpretation Of
National Seminar on FICTION INTO FILM: Satyajit Ray’s Interpretation of Tagore and Premchand Organised by Department of English and Modern European Languages (UGC Special Assistance Programme) and Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia, in collaboration with the Sahitya Akademi, November 23-25, 2006 Fiction and film have a kind of symbiotic relationship. There are quite literally thousands of books that have been made into movies. The Internet Movie Data Base (IMDT) itself lists over 20,000 movies based on novels! Though outwardly the cinematic medium may appear to contain ingredients of drama such as actors, plot and spectacle, it is essentially a narrative medium. Critics ‘Charulata’ like Neil Sinyard believe that films formed an integral part of 20th century literature. The legacy of nineteenth century novel, he writes, ‘is the twentieth century film. In many novels of the Victorian and the Edwardian era, with their burdensome cataloguing of the details of the appearance of the outside world, one senses an author who is either waiting for, or who will be made redundant by, the camera.’ The response of the modern writer to the coming of film has also been variable. ‘The cinema’s swift change of scene, this blending ‘Postmaster’ of emotion and experience’, said Tolstoy, was much better than the ‘heavy, long drawn out kind of writing to which we are accustomed. It is closer to life.’ Tolstoy felt that it could initiate a revolution in the methods of literary art. James Joyce, who founded the first cinema in Dublin, and Virginia Woolf, who contributed several thoughtful essays on cinema, were similarly fascinated by the new medium.
