The Eternal Filmmaking of Satyajit Ray, with Mira Nair | TIFF 2022

Mira Nair on the hard-won and long-awaited restorations of Satyajit Ray’s films, and why the Indian master’s work remain eternal. This August, TIFF celebrates the centenary of Satyajit Ray (1921–1992) with “Satyajit Ray: His Contemporaries and Legacy,” a retrospective of 10 films spanning the Indian subcontinent and 64 years. For more, visit http://tiff.net With his brilliant debut feature, Pather Panchali (The Song of the Little Road, 1955), Ray catapulted himself onto the international stage. He directed 37 works, including fiction, documentaries, and shorts, mainly in Bengali. A polymath and leader of India’s parallel cinema movement in the 1950s, he questioned the nation’s post-independence legacy, including poverty, patriarchy, and corruption — yet his films remained deeply humanist, and usually hopeful. Ray’s films have screened at Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and TIFF, and the director’s international awards include an Honorary Oscar in 1992. Our series opens with Ray’s personal favourite, Charulata (The Lonely Wife, 1964), about a married woman snuffing out her literary talent to save her affair; Devi (The Goddess, 1960), in which a patriarch’s dream turns his daughter-in-law into a goddess incarnate; Nayak (The Hero, 1966), about a matinee idol’s insecurities; and Shatranj Ke Khilari (The Chess Players, 1977), a magnificent historical film in Hindi about the British overthrow of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh in 1856. Also showcased are films by four Ray contemporaries: Ritwik Ghatak’s Partition masterpiece Subarnarekha (The Golden Thread, 1965); Aparna Sen’s Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2002), which addresses communalism through a love story; Jago Hua Savera (Day Shall Dawn, 1959), directed by A.J. Kardar (born in Lahore, part of West Pakistan when the film was made), and shot in Bangladesh (then in East Pakistan); and Mani Kaul’s astonishing, avant-garde documentary Siddheshwari (1989). Works by latter-day directors include Amit Dutta’s breathtaking Nainsukh (2010), which drew inspiration from both Ray and Kaul, and Anik Dutta’s Aparajito (The Undefeated, 2022), a charming primer on how Ray made his first film. We offer you the sun, the moon, and some bright stars.
