MUMBAI: The Satyajit Ray classic Pather Panchali will be screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival, (SFIFF) which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
The festival that will take place from 26 April to 10 May 2007, is the longest-running festival in the Americas, says a release.
Interestingly, Pather Panchali was screened at the very first SFIFF in 1957 and had earned Ray the Golden Gate Award for Best Film and Best Director. Ray was the recipient of the festival’s Akira Kurosawa Award for Lifetime Achievement in Directing, in 1992 too. However, the filmmaker passed away a few weeks before the festival; and actor Sharmila Tagore accepted the award on his behalf.
