Lights, camera, action! Cinephiles take their seats for a rare viewing of Satyajit Ray’s 1955 film Pather Panchali, hosted by the Burlington Film Society. The black-and-white movie is the first installment of the Indian director’s celebrated Apu Trilogy and tells the story of a curious young boy in rural Bengal and the family that molds him. Shown in Bengali with English subtitles, the award-winning flick touches on themes of poverty, imagination and familial love through poignant storytelling and stunning imagery. Prior to the screening, film buffs can participate in a discussion led by BFS cofounder Barry Snyder.
