A master of world cinema, Satyajit Ray’s indelible films are filled with visual poetry and humanistic stories that transcend culture and time. He has inspired filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan, Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, and Wes Anderson who dedicated his fifth film to Satyajit Ray.
In this 4-week class, we’ll learn about the self-taught multi-talented filmmaker who wrote, directed and often composed the music and designed the posters for his films. We’ll dive into a film that Francis Ford Coppola called a “cinematic milestone” as well as Ray’s seminal Apu trilogy.
Films:
3/7: Devi (1960)
3/14: Pather Panchali (1955)
3/21: Aparajito (1956)
3/28: Apur Sansar (1959)
