Satyajit Ray ( listen ; 2 May 1921 – 23 April 1992) was an Indian filmmaker, widely regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of the 20th century. Ray was born in the city of Calcutta into a Bengali family prominent in the world of arts and literature. Starting his career as a commercial artist, Ray was drawn into independent filmmaking after meeting French filmmaker Jean Renoir and viewing Vittorio De Sica's Italian neorealist film Bicycle Thieves (1948) during a visit to London.
Ray directed 36 films, including feature films, documentaries and shorts. He was also a fiction writer, publisher, illustrator, calligrapher, music composer, graphic designer and film critic. He authored several short stories and novels, primarily aimed at children and adolescents. Feluda, the sleuth, and Professor Shonku, the scientist in his science fiction stories, are popular fictional characters created by him. He was awarded an honorary degree by Oxford University.
Ray's first film, Pather Panchali (1955), won eleven international prizes, including the inaugural Best Human Document award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. This film, along with Aparajito (1956), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) (1959) form The Apu Trilogy. Ray did the scripting, casting, scoring, and editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material. Ray received many major awards in his career, including 32 Indian National Film Awards, a number of awards at international film festivals and award ceremonies, and an Academy Honorary Award in 1992. The Government of India honored him with the Bharat Ratna in 1992.

Sonar Kella (Bengali: সোনার কেল্লা), also Shonar Kella, released in the United States as The Golden Fortress, is a 1971 mystery novel and a 1974 film by Bengali writer and director Satyajit Ray.
The film is an adaptation of the novel with minor plot changes and features the actors Soumitra Chatterjee, Santosh Dutta, Siddartha Chatterjee and Kushal Chakraborty among others.
The film begins where Mukul Dhar (played by Kushal Chakraborty), a kid who is said to be able to remember events of his previous life, stays up late into the night and draws sketches about peacocks, forts and of battles that he claims to be the battles he had seen, and soon receives the media attention. This finally ended up his father narrating the following incidents to Prodosh Mitter, at his residence about how he met Dr. Hemanga Hajra (Sailen Mukherjee), a parapsychologist, in his book store who in turn enthusiastically offers for help believing it might also help him in his research. After listening to Mukul's descriptions of deserts and peacocks, Dr. Hajra guesses that the place he describes might be in the deserts of Rajasthan. Mukul also mentions that he lived in the Golden Fortress [Sonar Kella] and that their house had lots of gems. Dr. Hajra decides to take Mukul on a trip to Rajasthan hoping this may shed deeper light into such parapsychological phenomenon, as well as help cure the boy.
The cinema of West Bengal (Bengali: টলিউড) refers to the Indian Bengali language film industry based in the Tollygunge region of Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The origins of the nickname Tollywood, a portmanteau of the words Tollygunge and Hollywood, dates back to 1932. Although the industry's Gross Box-office is smaller, when compared to large market driven industries of the country such as bollywood, Telugu cinema, and Tamil cinema, the Bengali film industry is known for producing many of Indian cinema's most critically acclaimed global Parallel Cinema and art films, with several of its filmmakers gaining international acclaim, and prominence at the Indian National Film Awards. Modern Bengali cinema is known for re-inventing the cinematic norms from the poetically theoretical to the in-your-face physical and romantic fantasies, that which is evident in the western world.
Ever since Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali (1955) was awarded Best Human Document at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, Bengali films frequently appeared in international fora and film festivals for the next several decades. This allowed Bengali filmmakers to reach a global audience. The most influential among them was Satyajit Ray, whose films became successful among European, American and Asian audiences. His work subsequently had a worldwide impact, with filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese,James Ivory,Abbas Kiarostami, Elia Kazan, François Truffaut,Carlos Saura,Isao Takahata,Wes Anderson and Danny Boyle being influenced by his cinematic style, and many others such as Akira Kurosawa praising his work.
Bengali may refer to something of, from, or related to Bengal, a region in the north-eastern part of South Asia including:

Through his career he earned commercial as well as critical success, and he remains as an Indian cultural icon,"Raj Kapoor said Uttam is "Smart Modern Hero of India".

He was a recipient of many awards over his lifetime, including National Film Award for Best Actor. A Metro Station in Kolkata was renamed in his honour.
Uttam Kumar was born in Kolkata at the home of his maternal uncle at Ahiritola, while his ancestral house is on Girish Mukherjee Road, Bhowanipore.

Objects in the Mirror Are as They Appear is a film about the Clive House in Kolkata, one of the city’s earliest examples of colonial architecture, where the descendants of a number of refugee families that previously occupied the house have nowadays been driven out in favour of a project to revamp the house into a museum. The families still live on the property, and the film offers a glimpse into their everyday life. It is not, however, the artist’s gaze that we follow, as Gullaksen hired a local, all-female crew to shoot the film. He applies this strategy in order to avoid an exoticising male gaze on the women being filmed and to provide unique access to their lives. The collaboration creates a technique for ‘imploding’ cultural differences related to geography, gender and modern versus t...

Agantuk The Stranger is a 1991 Bengali drama film directed by Satyajit Ray. It was Satyajit Ray's last film, based on one of his short stories, Atithi (The Guest). The movie is deceptively simple modern fable about a mysterious old man (Utpal Dutt), who comes to stay with a middle-class Calcutta family, claiming to be the wife's long-lost uncle, Manmohan Mitra. Anila (Mamata Shankar), the wife, wants to believe him, but her husband, Sudhindra (Deepankar De), has his doubts. The couple's young son, Satyaki (Bikram Bhattacharya), is enthralled by Manmohan's exotic tales of his magical adventures, which have taken him from New York to the jungles of the Amazon, and pretty much regards the whole thing as a game. As the family and their friends try to figure out who exactly he is, his very pres...

In his films, Satyajit Ray demonstrated excellent command over film music. Besides working with maestros like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Vilayat Khan and Ali Akbar Khan, he himself took up writing lyrics, composing songs and music for many of his films, starting as early as the 60s. "Ray's music is imaginative, not melodramatic, balanced, not exuberant, functional, not decorative. It is music that grows from the film itself", says Utpalendu Chakraborty in his documentary The Music of Satyajit Ray (1984). Based on interviews with Ray himself, and packed with clips from his films, rare-to-come-by footage of his music composing and recording sessions, the documentary by Utpalendu Chakrabarty follows Satyajit Ray's journey and philosophy as music director and music composer of his own film...
This is a video from my private collection that I had released on FaceBook 7 years ago!!! Pardon my bragging but I had to move heaven and earth to get it (and it is a long story for another day) and even the TV station where the interview took place circa 1977 did not have a copy and could not be bothered to look. Ray is interviewed here by Los Angeles movie critic Kevin Thomas who does come up with some good questions even though he doesn't seem especially familiar with Ray's milieu. For my international friends I would like to point out that Ray was as far a cry from "Bollywood" as could be imagined. First 2 minutes are a bit unstable but after that it is OK. I had to patch it together from a few different fragments and this was the best that could be done. I donated a copy to the Ray A...
