Computer Files, Websites
With the release in 1955 of Satyajit Ray's debut film, an eloquent and important new cinematic voice made itself heard all over the world. A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, PATHER PANCHALI's naturalistic but poetic evocation of a number of years in the life of a family introduces us to both little Apu (Subir Banerjee) and, just as essentially, the women who will help shape him: his independent older sister, Durga; his harried mother, Sarbajaya, who, with her husband away, must hold the family together; and his kindly and mischievous elderly "auntie," Indir. Winner of the award for Best Human Document at **Cannes Film Festival**, Winner of Best Picture and Best Director at the **San Francisco International Film Festival**. *"Beautiful, sometimes funny, and full of love, it brought a new vision of India to the screen." - Pauline Kael, **New Yorker***
