Commissioned by the ruler of a Himalayan state, Ray made this controversial poetic sketch, which was swiftly subjected to censorship. SCREENING WITH BALA (1976, India; 33m) Ray’s rarely screened record of the famed Bharata Natyam dancer.
Ray made this controversial poetic sketch of a remote Himalayan principate north of Darjeeling, on a commission from its ruler (and his American-born queen). Ray’s wide-ranging look at the place and its people takes in a royal banquet, trainee monks, grand mountains, and more. Subjected to censorship and a national ban, it was only recently shown in India for the first time in decades. Restored by the Satyajit Ray Preservation Project at the Academy Film Archive.
