Restoring Ray: JALSAGHAR and the geo-politics of preserving cinema – Amrita Biswas (Frankurt)
Who creates and preserves the canon of cinema? If you follow the material history of Satyajit Ray's JALSAGHAR, which tells the story of the downfall of a music-obsessed landowner, you come across a global power structure for archiving, preserving and restoring films.

Rochona Majumdar is a professor in the […]

"This film could not have been a novel...": this is how Satyajit Ray spoke about KANCHENJUNGHA from 1962, which tells a family story from a summer retreat in Darjeeling and was only lukewarmly received in India and beyond. In light of the colonial legacy and the complex modernity of the Indian novel, the strangely reserved […]
