Satyajit Ray's Ravi Shankar

by Sandip Ray (Editor)

The incredible story of a film that was never made In the 1950s, when Satyajit Ray asked Pandit Ravi Shankar to compose the music for the Apu Trilogy, he conceptualized a film on the legendary sitarist. He also worked out a detailed storyboard for the film. However, for reasons unknown till now, the film was never made and the project was forgotten. Now, for the first time,Ray's storyboard is available. Together with interviews by both Ray and Ravi Shankar on various aspects of their collaboration and a scholarly introduction, this is truly a collector's edition.

Interesting background of an unfinished Ray/Shankar film project. Lots of narrative concerning their relationship, with the storyboards for the proposed film.
