Rarely is he seen as an influential modernist in his own right whose contributions to world cinema remain unsurpassed. In this benchmark study, Keya Ganguly situates Ray's work within the internationalist spirit of the twentieth century, arguing that his film experiments revive the category of political or "committed" art. She suggests that in their depictions of Indian life, Ray's films intimate the sense of a radical future and document the capacity of the image to conceptualize a different world glimpsed in the remnants of a disappearing past. 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zIndia$vBiography 610 $a20th century. 610 $aavant garde. 610 $acinema and film. 610 $acinema lovers. 610 $acinema. 610 $acommitted art. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $acritique. 610 $aeuropean ideas. 610 $aexpression. 610 $afamous filmmakers. 610 $afilm buffs. 610 $afilm critique. 610 $afilm experiments. 610 $afilm studies. 610 $afilmmakers. 610 $aindian director. 610 $aindian life. 610 $ainternational film. 610 $ainternationalism. 610 $amodern artists. 610 $amodernism. 610 $amovies. 610 $anew wave cinema. 610 $anon western film. 610 $anonfiction study. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apolitical films. 610 $aradical future. 610 $asatyajit ray. 610 $aworld cinema. 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 676 $a791.4312/33092 700 $aGanguly$b Keya$01697911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814527703321 996 $aCinema, emergence, and the films of Satyajit Ray$94078979 997 $aUNINA
