1 – Antaheen (2009, dir: Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury) advertised that this was the first film after Satyajit Ray’s Aranyer Din Ratri where Aparna Sen and Sharmila Tagore acted together.

2 – Abar Aranye (2003, dir: Goutam Ghose) took three of the four characters of Aranyer Din Ratri to the forest of Dooars on a sequel train at a time when the DVD, CD version of the Ray original was not readily available.
3 – Aborto (2013, dir: Arindam Sil) flaunts that all the characters of the film have the same names as the different major characters in the master’s film oeuvre.

A still from “Nayak”
A restored version of Satyajit Ray’s Nayak will screen at the upcoming Berlin International Film Festival in the ‘Berlinale Classics’ section.

Besides hosting a Satyajit Ray season throughout August and September, the British Film Institute (BFI) is holding the first exhibition in the UK to highlight Satyajit Ray’s design works.
The exhibition will be held at the BFI Southbank from 14 August until mid-October and is free for all.
Before Ray directed Pather Panchali in 1955, he worked as a graphic designer for an advertising agency in Kolkata. In addition to creating over 30 films throughout his career he also designed many of their sets, costumes, credit sequences and posters.
A selection of the director’s poster designs will be on show in the Atrium at the BFI Southbank. It will include both original and facsimile posters, showcasing the best of Ray’s creations.
“Ray’s unique graphic style owed as much to Indian art and indigenous folklore as it did to Western traditions.
