Satyajit Ray
- 1967 ----- b & w ----- 29 min ----- 16mm
- Satyajit Ray, noted Indian filmmaker, explains the underlying philosophy guiding him in the production of his films. Ray, whose films have been analyzed as having themes of conflict between old and new India, sees his films as a confluence of Eastern and Western cultures. He sees Western societies as very mechanized cultures in which people are not their own masters. He uses both professional and non-professional actors and selects them for their naturalness and authenticity. Satyajit Ray's main objective is to make his audiences see and think about issues such as poverty and politics.
