The essays offered here were written between 1970 and 2005.
Teaching assignments, requests for articles, and the authors own
evolving interests prompted them. They were not written with the
view to form a book. They are now published together in the
conviction that, both singly and as a whole, they can contribute to
a better appreciation of Satyajit Rays legacy. The essays deal with
Ray as a film-maker. The date on which each essay was written is
indicated as it situate each in the cultural context in which it
was conceived. Out of the twenty-nine feature films of Ray, only
eight, plus the Apu Trilogy as a whole, are discussed. Moreover,
this small collection is not a selection, indicaing preferences;
nor is it a classification, rating the films. The discussion of
Jana Aranya is the only essay that was written for this book to
illuminate the evolution that took place from the first to the last
film of Satyajit Ray. In order to preserve their historical value,
generally, the essays were not updated. Given Rays deep involvement
in film education, especially in the film societies movement in
India, it was felt mandatory to include two articles on the
subject, one discussing the situation of the film societies today,
and the other, inspired by Satyajit Ray, and proposing a programme
of media education for a new type of film society.
