MUMBAI: Nine films of cine craftsman Satyajit Ray are to be screened by the Filmoteca de Catalunya, a film archive in Spain, in collaboration with ImagineIndia and the Indian Directorate of Film Festivals.

The retrospective of Ray includes Apu Trilogy (Pather Panchali, Aparajito, Apur Sansar), Charulata, Shatranj Ke Khilari, Jalsaghar, Sadgati, Bala, Mahanagar and Satyajit Ray, a biopic on Ray by Shyam Benegal.

The ten day programme which is a part of a sixteen-day festival will celebrate Ray’s depiction of “the modern ideals of a society that was also a colonized country. A filmmaker (Ray) who should be visited from time-to-time so as to not lose sight of what is essential,” the Filmoteca de Catalunya website says.

The screenings that will take place at the Cinematheque de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain will go on from 18 to 28 March.
