Cinema Círculo presents the “Apu Trilogy”, by Indian director Satyajit Ray. Composed of “Pather Panchali” (1955),
“Aparajito” (1956) and “Apur Sansar” (1959), the trilogy follows the life of Apu, from his childhood in a Bengali village to his adulthood in Calcutta. The session will take place on February 22, between 12:00 and 18:00, at the School of Arts, and admission is free.
Based on the novels Pather Panchali and Aparajito by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, the film explores themes of growth, loss and resilience, becoming a landmark in neorealist cinema. All three films will be shown in their entirety, allowing viewers to follow the story as it unfolds as conceived by Satyajit Ray.
Cinema Círculo aims to showcase works, formats and geographies that are underrepresented in the current distribution system and cinemas in Lisbon. A cinema that, for one reason or another, finds itself on the margins, without space, outside of a commercial logic that does not aim for profit, but that seeks reflection, debate and critical thinking.
