I am getting back to projects related to cinema, and specifically Indian cinema: maha cinema, or great cinema ! The one beyond and behind Bollywood (very à la mode in Paris nowadays) - the wood hiding the magic trees of many filmmakers.

May 2nd, 1921, was the birth day of Satyajit Ray: in 1991, I conceived/edited a homage book, a photo-biography, on the work of this great film director, prefaced by Henri Cartier-Bresson, with photographs by Nemai Ghosh, one of his still photographer, and contributions by Kurosawa, Riboud, Scorsese, Menuhin, Rostropovitch, … [and many others - this list has no specific order]. In parallel, I organised an exhibition of these stills at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, for the 70th birthday of Satyajit Ray.

More soon.
