সত্যি সংরক্ষণ যে কি জিনিস সেটা আপনাকে না জানলে বুঝা যেতো না। আপনি সত্যিই এক গুণী শিল্পী। আমি ও সংরক্ষণ করি করতে ভালো লাগে । বিশেষ বিশেষ মূহর্ত গুলো ফটো ফেমে তুলে রাখতে খুব ভালো লাগে। আমি এক সত্যজিৎ অনুরাগী। তার অন্ধ ভক্ত । আপনাকে সেলাম। ভালো থাকবেন।
i feel this generation of bengalis is lost for ever. my uncle who was bit older than him worked in the government in bengal, was not wealthy, but was a playwright and his library was huge and eclectic...when Sen talks of rudolf arnheim it is quite apparent that the generation back in the 50s and 60s were more expansive in their reading yet completely grounded in bengali language and literature. they absorbed what was happening overseas and infused it into their work without copying it...a generation apart.
Agreed, as the scope was wide for them, a space for fresh start, innovative ideas, a sort of compassion for the content was present among them (Ghatak, ray, and the lots). Now that kind of hunger is present among the new wave directors of Bangladesh (Farooki, Raihan Rafi, Syed Shawki, Ashfaque Nipoon, Amitabh Reza Chaudhary etc.). The good lots of here have dissolved into a mediocre spectrum (Mukhrji, Later films of Kaushik Ganguly and others.) Commercial Cinema has lost its originality, grit and innovative dynamics.(Movies like Shatru, Indrajit and even good remakes of south Indian films, Pralay, kranti etc.) But, Its good to see that পুরোনো অঞ্জন দত্ত is back. Hope the Bengalis will soon understand the panoramic presence of West Bengal outside of Kolkata and implement it in their cultural exhibitions more passionately. (Sheshe sob i politics er khela ar ki 😢)
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.
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.
Gut-wrenchingly sad to listen-in. An unfortunate study in pettiness and ego that overrides the commitment to document and preserve Ray's legacy for posterity.
This was a difficult interview for Mr.Chatterjee. His emotional investment in his recounting of incidents surrounding Ray's demise comes through. His creative partnership with Ray is integral to both their legacies. Thank you for sharing this series of interviews.
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! From Sweden
I am a fan of both Satyajit Ray and Soumitra and it gives a great pleasure to watch such interviews. Just a question, has the interview taken place in Soumitra´s own residence? from Sweden
Nice interview, but the volume was a bit low; one could hardly hear Soumitra´s voice at places. It´s a pity! Like Ray Soumitra is also a great man. Arindam from Sweden
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 ! T
Please can anyone tell me or have any information about is Mr. Nemai Gosh made his goal to open a art gallery about his all photograph of Master Roy? please let me know?
