'my life with satyajit ray'

for more info, go to www.manikda.space
Calcutta, 1950: Satyajit Ray directs his first film ‘Pather Panchali’ and, by opening his eyes on his country’s realities, breaks every convention of Indian cinema. At his death in 1992, Satyajit Ray left a legacy of more than 30 films which have placed him as one of the most rewarded filmmakers in the story of the cinema. For 25 years, the photographer Nemai Ghosh followed Ray as his shadow, and recorded almost every moment of Ray's private and cinematic life. He has a collection of more than 90.000 photographs, all related to Ray. His camera has captured Ray writing scripts, designing sets and costumes, composing music, sketching every detail of his films. "While carrying out my duties as the still photographer, I would click at Ray's every move in my spare time. As Ray was creating history on and off the sets, I felt I had to chronicle that history through my camera”. In this film, Nemai Ghosh reflects upon the history of this great passion that lasted over 25 years…
Calcutta, 1950 : Satyajit Ray réalise son premier film et, ouvrant les yeux sur les réalités de son pays, brise toutes les conventions du cinéma indien et entame une carrière vertigineuse. Pendant 25 ans, le photographe Nemai Ghosh le suivra comme son ombre. Ce film retrace leurs destins parallèles, il raconte l’extraordinaire parcours artistique de Satyajit Ray vu à travers l’objectif obsessionnel de Nemai Ghosh: une histoire attachante et mystérieuse d’une fascination démesurée d’un photographe pour son modèle.

I will make it to Kolkata one day. It seems like it's the center of the world

Blessed Person You Are....big salute from kerala for this work....

[@ngautam007]

Bo Van Der Werf thanks a ton for making this documentary about a person (great photo-biographer Nemai Ghosh) who had dedicated his life in shooting the person who was called the maestro of indian cinema and the world would not have seen him in different moods and expressions but for Mr. Nemai Ghosh. However it was very sad to see him saying he would dip all those 90k+ negatives which has captured Ray as he sounded desperate as no one till the time of this film had come forward to save and upkeep his hard work filled with passion and dedication. That happens generally with all those who grows under a giant without the fault of the giant himself as Nemai Ghosh rightly said " he was too immersed in his work "....and aided by Sharmila Tagore too that nothing grows under a great banyan tree. This documentary is perhaps the only one on the ace bio-photographer whose passion , dedication and honesty towards his work was reflected from the Bo Van Der Werf's passion, dedication and honesty towards the making of this documentary- Kudos to you !

[@taufiquealamtusan]

Nimai da, my head is bowed to you for your life long works. You have utterly exhausted your own life for the sake photographing the giant filmmaker. You immortalized yourself along with Satyajit Ray for the spectacular photographs of a man taken in his various moods. Concerned persons to come forward for the preservation of such a precious treasure.

[@amalkantiray211]

Recollection of these events in this form is genuinely a revolutionary idea especially in the light of our gradually depleting ideology and standards.

How to contact Mr. Nemai Ghosh, if we would like to assist him in building any archive/library on Satyajit Ray.

Wonderful piece of filmmaking. Thanks for the upload!

[@Parthamitra2264]

Amazed by the film. Many many thanks to Van Der Werf for making such a wonderful film. Why is the West Bengal Government not coming forward to help Mr Ghosh set up the Gallery? His emotional appeal was poignant and painful least to say.

[@devanshu941]

मार्मिक डाक्यूमेंटरी

nemai da, apni guru bhogoban.

[@Annonym1234]

Extremely well made documentary film! Curious to know if ultimately the dream of making a gallery in Kolkata or India with the 90000 precious photos has come true. If not, it is the ultimate tragedy!
