Two of Indian cinema’s most acclaimed auteurs, Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal, come together in this intimate dialogue, offering a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a cinematic genius. Based on Benegal’s 1985 documentary on Ray, this volume brings together the film’s script, excerpts from extended interviews, and a remarkable collection of visual material showcasing Ray’s work as a filmmaker, illustrator, designer, and writer.    Through candid conversations, Ray reflects on his childhood and the philosophy behind his storytelling, providing an unparalleled look at his creative process. With one master filmmaker capturing another, the result is a deeply personal and layered portrait that moves beyond Ray’s films to reveal the man behind the camera. Satyajit Ray: A Film is both a historical document and a celebration of artistic legacy; a rare opportunity to witness a dialogue between two legends shaping the course of Indian and global cinema.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306877628789,"sku":"9781803095400","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781803095400_b1985ccc-583d-49b5-b3ba-0510e05d6468.jpg?v=1786026651"},{"product_id":"the-best-of-satyajit-ray","title":"The Best of Satyajit Ray (Boxset, Volume 1 \u0026 Volume 2)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the ever-popular adventures of Ray's enduring creation, the professional sleuth Feluda to the chronicles of Professor Shonku; short stories; writings on filmmaking; and thoughts on world as well as Indian cinema, among others, this anthology, a two-volume boxset, \u003ci\u003eThe Best of Satyajit Ray\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a treat for the Ray enthusiasts but also a collector's edition.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Satyajit Ray (1921-1991), polymath, polyglot, novelist, short-story writer, illustrator, designer, music composer, was one of the most eminent film directors of world cinema.
