Most of his films, however, have been largely unavailable to North American audiences – only two of his twenty-two features are in theatrical distribution in this country. The Cinematheque’s seven-film retrospective (culled from a complete retrospective organized by the Museum of the Moving Image) samples Rivette’s oeuvre from several different periods in the auteur’s career. All films are in French with English subtitles. Co-sponsored by the Center for European Studies. This series was made possible with the assistance of David Schwartz and Livia Bloom (Museum of the Moving Image); and François Leloup-Collet, Marie Bonnel, and Delphine Selles (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

Ray’s films, as David Bordwell aptly expresses it, “render Indian life through the subtle drama of naturalistic European cinema,” and made him one of the central figures of humanist cinema in the West. In 1991 Ray received an Honorary Award by the Academy “in recognition of his rare mastery of the art of motion pictures, and of his profound humanitarian outlook, which has had an indelible influence on filmmakers and audiences throughout the world.” All films are in Bengali with English subtitles. Co-sponsored by the Center for South Asia. Special thanks to Joe Lindner (Academy Film Archive) and Professor Dilip K.

This is the world where Genghis Khan ruled, and through which the great trade route called the Silk Road ran. The five former Soviet Asian republics, independent since 1991, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are linked by geographical proximity yet each is possessed of its own unique culture. The Cinematheque, in collaboration with the Center for Russian, East Europe, and Central Asia (CREECA), showcase films from some of the countries to reveal the striking cinematic difference between these close neighbors.

Their love is mired in a mountain of routine and disenchantment. To help keep Zorica from getting deported, Iva gets Damien to promise he’ll go to his father, a state department official, for help. But Damien and his father have a distant and cool relationship. And this mission is a risky business which will send Damien spiraling downward and over the edge… INTERVIEW OF PASCAL BONITZER Like your other heroes (a philosophy professor, a critic, an editor), Damien is an intellectual. Why do you favor that kind of character? I know, that is seriously frowned upon. What can I tell you? I am who I am and my movies are also just a tiny bit about myself, though they’re not autobiographical. It’s not that I think I’m so interesting, but it is a way of obtaining a certain sincerity or authenticity, a certain psychological truth. Why do you make comedies? Comedy is the tone that comes naturally to me, that’s all.

  • The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, Spotlighting the Ways Women Have Created, Challenged, and Subverted Domesticity
    BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, spotlighting the ways women have created, challenged, and subverted domesticity October 9, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, November 2 through Saturday, November 10 BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, a wide-ranging series spotlighting the overlooked work women take on in the home as house-workers, caretakers, and familial partners. The Domestic Is Not Free is the third edition of the ongoing Women at Work series—following Women at Work: Labor Activism in March and Women at Work: Radical Creativity in August—and highlights the historically erased and undervalued physical and emotional labor women perform, often invisibly, every day. The series considers the myriad ways in which women around the world have challenged and subverted traditional associations between gender and domesticity. Exploring the intersections of labor, race, class, and social environment, these films embody human stories of sacrifice and endurance. BAM Cinema Department Coordinator and programmer of the series Natalie Erazo explains, “I learned early on to value the domestic space and appreciate the women around me who shaped it. I hope this series will encourage viewers to acknowledge the monotony and emotional bearing of a life often relegated to being behind the scenes.” The series opens with Ousmane Sembène’s seminal Black Girl (1966—Nov 2). Screening with short films Fannie’s Film (Woods, 1979) and Fucked Like a Star (Saintonge, 2018), these films depict black women in roles of domestic service while also giving audiences access to their inner thoughts, feelings, and struggles.

  • Artist Recreates Satyajit Ray S Film Posters on 100Th Birth Anniversary
    Artist recreates Satyajit Ray's film posters on 100th birth anniversary to depict Covid crisis An artist marked 100 years of legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray by recreating his iconic film posters to depict the Covid-19 crisis in India. Krishna Priya Pallavi Writer [email protected] If I am not writing on fashion, places you can travel to for that perfect holiday, mental health, trending topics, I am probably escaping the city for a vacation, eating a scrumptious meal at a quaint cafe, and so much more in between. Love to travel (obviously), dance, explore new places, read extensively and try out new and exciting dishes. Works as Senior Sub-Editor at India Today Digital. Aniket Mitra used posters from Satyajit Ray's iconic films to depict the Covid-19 crisis going on in India Photo: Facebook/Aniket Mitra Satyajit Ray had an inedible mark on the Indian cinema.

  • Beyond the World of Apu: the Films of Satyajit Ray'
    H-Asia Sengupta on Hood, 'Beyond the World of Apu: The Films of Satyajit Ray' Review published on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 John W. Hood. Beyond the World of Apu: The Films of Satyajit Ray. New Delhi: Orient Longman, 2008. xi + 476 pp. $36.95 (paper), ISBN 978-81-250-3510-7. Reviewed by Sakti Sengupta (Asian-American Film Theater) Published on H-Asia (March, 2009) Commissioned by Sumit Guha Indian Neo-realist cinema Satyajit Ray, one of the three Indian cultural icons besides the great sitar player Pandit Ravishankar and the Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore, is the father of the neorealist movement in Indian cinema. Much has already been written about him and his films. In the West, he is perhaps better known than the literary genius Tagore. The University of California at Santa Cruz and the American Film Institute have published (available on their Web sites) a list of books about him. Popular ones include Portrait of a Director: Satyajit Ray (1971) by Marie Seton and Satyajit Ray, the Inner Eye (1989) by Andrew Robinson. A majority of such writings (with the exception of the one by Chidananda Dasgupta who was not only a film critic but also an occasional filmmaker) are characterized by unequivocal adulation without much critical exploration of his oeuvre and have been written by journalists or scholars of literature or film. What is missing from this long list is a true appreciation of his works with great insights into cinematic questions like we find in Francois Truffaut's homage to Alfred Hitchcock (both cinematic giants) or in Andre Bazin's and Truffaut's bio-critical homage to Orson Welles.

    La nuit Bengali Un téléfilm en trois parties de Nicolas Klotz d’après Mircea Eliade Avec Hugh Grant, John Hurt, Anne Brochet, Pierre-Loup Rajot 20.40 Samedis 13, 20 et 27 mai 1995 Contact presse: Virginie Doré /Grégoire Mauban - 01 55 00 70 46 / 48 [email protected] / [email protected] internet : www.arte-tv.com Tourné à Calcutta, bousculé par les pressions de la censure indienne, “La nuit Bengali” raconte le corps-à-corps impossible d’un Européen avec une Inde fantasmée. Dans son roman, Mircea Eliade explorait la violence d’un amour contrarié par la religion et les moeurs. En trois épisodes, Nicolas Klotz impose, quant à lui, une découverte amoureuse tout en désirs. EPISODE 1 llan, jeune ingénieur européen travaille à Calcutta dans la Compagnie de Narendra ASen, important entrepreneur de travaux publics. Il vit dans une pension européenne en compagnie de sa petite amie Guertie, d’un bon copain Harold, et de deux autres amies, Norinne et Clara, tous musiciens ou chanteurs de jazz. Ils s’entendent tous très bien, vont au cinéma, au club de jazz. Ils organisent des soirées, fument un peu d’opium avec des industriels, des ambassadeurs et couchent facilement les uns avec les autres, comme dans les rêves. Une nuit, un vieil ami d’Allan, Lucien Metz, arrive à Calcutta et rencontre par hasard Allan, ivre mort sur les marches de la pension. Grand spécialiste de l’Asie et un peu paranoïaque, Lucien Metz est reporter pour “Life Magazine” et vient de terminer un reportage sur la Chine, qu’il est obligé de quitter à cause de la guerre.
