Mr Debasish Mukhopadhyay was the facilitator of the workshop and helped the audience understand the inherent poetry of Ray’s cinematic language. He urged the audience to, “engage in critical discussions of Ray’s work. Building monuments won’t mean as much as a true engagement with the spirit of his work. Let us keep him alive by watching, enjoying, and discussing his art.” The session ended with a short video tribute to Ray’s genius.
