Visual Art which reveals the memory of the movements of previous Mansion

the architectural landscape, questioning memories and the sense of
belonging.
The project is a collaboration between Portuguese film

Nishi. For more information visit

Screening 1- Pather Panchali (1955, India. 115 min, B/W, In Bengali with subtitles)
Sometime
in the early years of the 20th century, a boy, Apu, is born to a poor
Brahmin family in a village in Bengal. The father, a poet and priest,
cannot earn enough to keep his family going. Apu's sister, Durga, is
forever stealing guavas from the neighbour's orchards. All these add to
the daily struggles of the mother's life, notwithstanding her constant
bickering with old aunt who lives with the family.

Rabindranath Tagore
In celebration of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore's 150th
anniversary, the Bfi are presenting a season of films based on Tagore's literary and
musical works, incorporating both classics by Satyajit Ray and Ritwik
Ghatak and more contemporary work from 3rd - 30th May 2011.
Rabindranath Tagore - Satyajit Ray's moving film made to mark the centenary of Tagore's birth. Director, Satyajit Ray, Country, India, Year 1961. Running time 54 minutes
This was scripted and
directed by Ray, who graduated from Viswabharati, Santiniketan - the
liberal arts university founded by Tagore. The film is a combination of
dramatised sequences (including a very lyrical portrayal of the young
poet and his inner world), still photos and archival footage, including
the massive funeral procession, when thousands took to the streets to
mourn the death of the poet-philosopher. Ray later said of his film,
'Ten or twelve minutes of it are among the most moving and powerful
things that I have produced.'
Restored by the Satyajit Ray Preservation Project at the
Academy Film Archive with funding from the Film Foundation. Print
