پاتر پانچالی
چه برای سینماگران و چه برای دوستداران و تماشاگران جدی سینما، خواندن فیلمنامههای آثار کلاسیک سینمای جهان، دو خاصیت لذت و آموزش را توأماً دارد؛ بهخصوص در سینمای ما که مدام صحبت از «مشکل فیلمنامه» است. صد سال سینما، صد فیلمنامه، فقط یک اشاره به صدسالگی سینما، و همان بازی دلپذیر همیشگی با اعداد و کلمات است. امیدمان این است که تعدادی از فیلمنامههای باارزش تاریخ سینما در این مجموعه منتشر شود.
پاترپانچالی اولین فیلم ساتیا جیترای، و نخستین قسمت از «تریلوژی آپو»، یکی از مشهورترین سهگانههای تاریخ سینماست. رای، حدود پنجاهسال پیش، چهرهٔ دیگری از سینمای هند نشان داد؛ سینمایی که به ابتذال و سطحینگری شهره بود و هست. پاترپانچالی هرچند نشانهٔ علایق ادبی رای – به دلیل پسزمینهٔ فرهنگی و خانوادگی، و علاقهاش به رابیندرانات تاگور – بود، اما حکایت از سلیقه و استعدادی بصری نیز داشت که بعدها با آثار دیگرش و یافتن رهروانی، تبدیل به یک سبک شد.

Satyajit Ray
678 books1,530 followersSatyajit Ray (Bengali: সত্যজিৎ রায়) was an Indian filmmaker and author of Bengali fiction and regarded as one of the greatest auteurs of world cinema. Ray was born in the city of Calcutta into a Bengali family prominent in the world of arts and literature.

Ray directed 36 films, including feature films, documentaries and shorts. He was also a fiction writer, publisher, illustrator, calligrapher, graphic designer and film critic. He authored several short stories and novels, primarily aimed at children and adolescents.
Ray's first film, Pather Panchali (1955), won eleven international prizes, including Best Human Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival. This film, Aparajito (1956) and Apur Sansar (1959) form The Apu Trilogy. Ray did the scripting, casting, scoring, and editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material. Ray received many major awards in his career, including 32 Indian National Film Awards, a number of awards at international film festivals and award ceremonies, and an Academy Award in 1992. The Government of India honoured him with the Bharat Ratna in 1992.
