Bushel announces the screening of Pather Panchali (directed by Satyajit Ray, 1955), on Friday, June 3, at Bushel, 106 Main Street, Delhi. Doors open at 7 p.m.; screening begins at 7:20 pm. Seating is limited to 30; attendance is mask optional. This program is free to attend with a suggested donation of $5.
Pather Panchali, the first in Satyajit Ray’s The Apu Trilogy, depicts the childhood travails of the protagonist Apu and his elder sister Durga amidst the harsh village life of their impoverished family. The film is based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Bengali author Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay.
Co-curated by Hobart poet Cheryl Clarke and Bushel collective member Mina Takahashi, the Mid-Century Movie Nights film series offers present-day viewers the opportunity to ponder the weight of the post-World War II era on its generation.
The final film in the series will be Cassavetes’ Shadows, shown on June 10.
